    A human being is part of a whole, called by us the "Universe," a
    part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his
    thoughts and feelings, as something separated from the rest--a
    kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is
    a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires
    and to affection for a few personsnearest us. Our task must be
    to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circles of
    compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of
    nature in its beauty.
