愛因斯坦談人與宇宙的關係
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.Albert Einstein
一個人是一個整體的一部分,----即我們所稱的宇宙----受到時間、空間限制的一部分。 他親身體驗到了,感受到自己的思想感情是與其他事物割裂開來的某種東西……這是一種意識的錯覺。 這種錯覺有如一種牢籠,使我們局限於個人的慾望,只對和我們最親近的人才懷有溫情。 我們的任務應是擴大同情心,去擁抱所有的生命和自然界中美好的一切,把自己從這個牢籠中解放出來。
阿爾伯特•愛因斯坦
與印度的哲學與宗教有很類似的見解。
