"我们不是衰老、疾病和死亡的受害者。这些都是风景的一部分,而不是观察者,观察者对任何形式的变化都是免疫的。这个观察者是精神,是永恒存在的表现。"
— Deepak Chopra
Simplified Meaning:
Everyone gets old, gets sick, and eventually dies, but these things don’t define who we truly are. Imagine life is like a movie, and aging, sickness, and death are just parts of the scenes in the film. Even though these events happen on the outside, inside us there is something much deeper and unchanging. This deeper part is like our spirit or soul, which remains untouched and constant no matter what happens in our lives. Think of a tree: its leaves change with the seasons, but its roots remain strong and steady underground. Our spirit is like those roots, unchanging and ever-present. By focusing on this inner, eternal part of ourselves, we can find peace and strength, even as our physical bodies go through changes. Embracing this idea can help someone live with more courage and less fear of these inevitable parts of life.
