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.
Meaning of the quote
Deepak Chopra, an American philosopher, says that growing old, getting sick, and dying are not things that happen to us. Instead, they are just part of the world around us, like the scenery in a play. The real "you" - your spirit or soul - is not affected by these changes. Your spirit is eternal and will always exist, even if your body changes over time.
