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, a 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".
Albert Einstein's - (sogyal, 1992 p.98)
Albert Einstein once was asked by a young girl to tutor her in mathematics. He happily agreed to help her. A month later, the girl's mother came to thank him and apologized for inconveniences the well-reputed scientist had been subjected to. He in return thanked the mother and the girl for helping him learn about the common things in life.
Such is the humility, compassion and human understanding of the reputable mathematician, physicist, Albert Einstein.
