"We are not victims of aging, sickness and death. These are part of scenery, not the seer, who is immune to any form of change. This seer is the spirit, the expression of eternal being"
- Deepak Chopra
About this Quote
In this quote, Deepak Chopra challenges the common belief that aging, illness, and death are inescapable and uncontrollable elements of life. He argues that these things are just part of the "landscapes" of life, and not the real essence of who we are. According to Chopra, our true self, the "seer," is not affected by these external elements and remains unchanged. This "seer" is our spirit, our eternal being, which is unsusceptible to any type of modification. By shifting our point of view and identifying with our changeless spirit rather than our altering physiques, we can overcome the worry and restrictions connected with aging, sickness, and death.
"Death is no more than passing from one room into another. But there's a difference for me, you know. Because in that other room I shall be able to see"
