Life is the stage in the cycle of being where a soul is incarcerated. Incarnation involves inhabiting a physical form. Physical here can refer not just to animals, but also to what you might think of as a supernatural entity such as a fairy.
On the Nature of Life
Life and struggle are one, but Raizen’s seed sustains the turn of Nadirix’ wheel. A life of meaning is better than a life of luxury. Luxury at the expense of the poor is cruelty. As long as one person suffers on the streets, society is a failure.
—Anarast 6:10-13
The Beast Within
I have gazed into the heart of the beast within, I have seen its evil and yet I have decided still to ride it. Why? It is better to use the beast than to be its adversary
—Anarast 10:49-51
