The whole of nature in its beauty - M

A human being is a part of a whole, 
called by us 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 persons nearest to us. 

Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison 
by widening our circle of compassion,
to embrace all living creatures 
and the whole of nature in its beauty.
