Man cannot separate himself from the totality of what we call nature. Unfortunately, through the help of this self-consciousness which occured somewhere along the line, he accorded himself a superior place and placed himself on a higher level, and treated himself, and we still continue to treat ourselves, as superior to the other species of life that we have on this planet. That is the reason why we have created this disharmony; that is why we have created these tremendous problems, ecological problems and other problems. Actually, man, or whatever you want to call him, cannot be seperated from the totality of nature. That is where we have created one of the greatest blunders, and that unfortunately is the tragedy of man." -- Krishnamurti
