Zen Pencils by Gavin Aung Than for August 29, 2022
Transcript:
A human being is a part of the 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

Sciences and humanities each lead us to the same belief about the oneness of the whole.

In other words, look up once in a while, or you’ll miss something.

Didja hear how Einstein died? Turn out the Mob hit him. Said he knew too much.

I’m not surprised. Einstein was wise about much more than science.
