As to human consciousness, naturally when consciousness has turned into something it has limited itself. Although in comparison with trees and plants and rocks and mountains the consciousness of man is fully awakened, yet every human being is not awakened; most are still in captivity. As Rumi says in the Masnavi, "Man is captive in an imprisonment"; and his every effort, his every desire, is to break through in order to realize inspiration, greatness, beauty, happiness, peace, independently of all things of this world.
