Q. I am the mirror and the world is my image?
M. You can see both the mirror and the image. You are neither. Who are you? Don't go by formulas. The answer is not in words. The nearest you can say in words is: I am what makes perception possible, the life beyond the experiencer and his/her experience.
Now can you separate yourself from both the mirror and the image and stand completely alone, all by yourself?
Q. No I can't.
M. How do you know that you cannot? There are so many things you are doing without knowing how to do it. You digest, you circulate blood and lymph, you move your muscles---all without knowing how. In the same way, you perceive, you feel, you think without knowing the why and how of it. Similarly, you are yourself without knowing it. There is nothing wrong with you as the Self. It is what is to perfection. It is the mirror that is not clear and true and, therefore, gives you false images. You need not correct yourself---only set right your idea of yourself. Learn to separate yourself from the image and the mirror, keep on remembering. I am neither the mind nor its ideas; do it patiently and with conviction and you will surely come to the direct vision of yourself as the source of being---knowing---loving, eternal, all embracing, all pervading. You are the infinite focussed in a body. Now you see the body only. Try earnestly and you will come to see the infinite only.
