Summary

This quote suggests that religion often provides explanations to our questions that are not truly satisfying or conclusive. It implies that rather than critically examining these answers, religious teachings encourage blind acceptance and discourage further inquiry. By promoting an unquestioning mindset, religion stifles deeper exploration and hinders the pursuit of genuine knowledge and understanding. This criticism highlights the potential limitation of religious ideologies as they may prioritize faith over logical reasoning and seek to soothe uncertainties rather than seeking genuine answers.

A human being is part of a whole, called by us the 'Universe

A human being is part of a whole, called by us the '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 us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circles of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.
