"An Athlete of God"

I have been reading the book of NPR essays "This I Believe".

I love what Albert Einstein wrote (it is here) and the one by Martha Graham is brilliant and beautiful (it is here).

A human being is part of the whole, called by us "Universe", a part limited in time and space. One experiences oneself, one's thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest - a kind of optical delusion of . . . 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. Nobody is able to achieve this completely, but the striving for such achievement is a part of the liberation, and a foundation for inner security.
ALBERT EINSTEIN
Princeton, 1949
