To see reality is as simple as to see one’s face in a mirror.

Only the mirror must be clear and true.

A quiet mind, undistorted by desires and fears,

free from ideas and opinions, clear on all the levels, is needed to reflect the reality.

Be clear and quiet — alert and detached, all else will happen by itself.

~ Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj

    To reach that peace, and allow all else to happen…the true goal. Lovely post to share, Val.

    Yes! A quiet mind, like the surface of a still pond, provides a more accurate reflection.

    Thank you for the very wise words. Mr Midnight, one of my furry protagonists from our blog, adds that it look like the human race has got a lot of cleaning to do if it is to get its mirror clean and shiny. I apologise for his strange humour. Kind regards. 🙂
