"A human being is part of the whole called by us universe, a part

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 the
prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living
creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty. The true value of a
human being is determined by the measure and the sense in which they
have obtained liberation from the self. We shall require a
substantially new manner of thinking if humanity is to
survive." (Albert Einstein, 1954)
I didn't know until today he also believed the egoist self was a
delusion.
Yes, that is a nice quote.
Thanks to Gödel, Einstein seems to have understood eventually that we
can choose to study mathematics for metaphysical or spiritual inquiry
(according to Pale Yourgrau).
Many people confuse mathematics and mathematical theories. Logicians
study the relation in between, mathematically.
