A human being is a spatially and temporally limited piece of the whole, what we call ‘The Universe’
He experiences himself and his feelings as separate from the rest, an optical illusion of his consciousness. The quest for liberation from this bondage [or illusion] is the only object of true religion. Not nurturing the illusion but only overcoming it gives us the attainable measure of inner peace. (Albert Einstein)
