Hay-Ku of the Day (Mother Mirror)

All I Now See are 
Self-Reflected Images 
Of Divine Being. 

Divine Reflections 
Shatter in turbulent minds as 
Sunlight on the Sea.

Only a Whole Mind 
Can Reflect a Full Image 
Of the One I Am.

Only a Still Mind 
Reflects a Perfect Image 
Of Divine Glory. 

The Wonder of All 
Reflected in the Many 
Glorifies the One

[Rich Note: Divine = Perfect = Complete = Whole = One = Done = I AM = God (for those that believe in One).]

Re: "Life is nothing more than interaction with one's own image."
-- Arun Kumar Mishra

"One’s self-image can be likened to the walls or boundaries of a mental room. For the conscious space I call “self” can only become individual and distinct through the creation of imaginary mental limits that serve as self-reflecting walls. Such self-defining mental boundaries are presently needed for me to relate to the otherwise boundless inner and outer clear space of awareness I truly am. These I use as a kind of outer mirror to reveal my own inner face until such time as “I,” as a central referent in that limitless field of conscious awareness, crystallize as a center and no longer need self-re- flection to know I am here. In the mean time, I need to view these self-limiting boundaries as only temporary and, ulti- mately, infinitely expandable mental walls (thoughts, images and ideas) to eventually be shed like the skin of a snake. The danger, of course, lies in unwitting identification with and attachment to said temporary conceptual limits. For I, as pure awareness, would then become identified with form—the matrix of matter—and my divine nature as boundless consciousness self-crucified accordingly."
