[QUOTE="Pathfinder, post: 211142, member: 21250"] Well said. That sums up things aptly. Everytime i would look at the mirror I saw the reflection of my being or concealed flaws, beauty and imperfections of the world and I would be so enamoured by myself that I chose to ignore them and get lost in myself. All that mattered was the self, things that mattered to me. My reflection, my Shadow, my silhouette, my love, my family, my world. The mirror never lied. One day I Felt broken. I stared at the mirror so hard that I began to stare IN. What I saw shook me to the bone. What I was looking at was not a reflection but staring at the real world lain bare minus my lies and the castles of my prejudice(s). This can't be I protested, this can't be - I broke the mirror. The mirror was no more but I was cursed. Cursed, I told myself because now all I could see is inside the world rather than at the world. Did I ask to be picked?. To be chosen, to be cursed?. Then one day - tired and frail within, i stand at the entrance of the Gurudwara and stare. I was shocked. The mirror is back. Ahead of you lies the truth, reality. Suddenly you realise that you have lost the power to look AT the mirror and can only look IN. There is no reflection that will ever be reflected back now. No seductive ME or the enticing world. A reflection is always more beautiful and captivating than reality. That reflection is twisted reality. The mirror is the gateway. You realise then that you are chosen. Chosen, not as in rewarded but more as in given a choice. As long as we can retain the power to look IN the mirror we will remain content. The reflection will scream, fill us with doubt and use the world to ridicule us - that there is nothing IN the mirror, we are just imagining it. As long as we don't stop looking IN the mirror we will emerge to merge towards whatever lies on the narrow path. There was never a mirror. You will confuse yourself more than the world does. But clarity comes slowly. The doubts we sow .. grow into faith when busted. There are mirrors everywhere. Past midnight I stare at a lake in the middle of a jungle. I see the reflection of the waning moon and the fishes swimming inside. What, did I look at and in just now?? The mirror is me!!!... [/QUOTE]
