Part 11/15:
Chopra describes life as a continuous flow of birth, death, and rebirth—an ongoing spiral staircase of evolution. This perspective encourages embracing mortality as a natural phase, surrendering attachment, and savoring the present moment—an approach rooted in wisdom traditions across cultures.
The Phases of Life and the Art of Living
Both interlocutors explore life's stages. Chopra shares the traditional ashram model from Indian philosophy:
Student/learner phase—dependent and acquiring knowledge.
Householder phase—establishing success, family, and social contributions.
Giving back—dedicating energy to service and community.
Self-realization—inner awakening and understanding life's impermanence.
