The Three Mirrors For Inner Beauty (Part 1)
To check our external appearance or cleanliness, we
look into the mirror each day. But on a mental, emotional and spiritual level,
what is the mirror that helps you to see if there is anything wrong with your
inner face or spiritual self or to realize what is happening inside you and
what you have to do to maintain your inner beauty?
There
are three types of mirrors, which one can use to see or check the internal
self:
The first mirror is the mirror of spiritual knowledge – Spiritual
knowledge is the knowledge related to spiritual self-development i.e. of the soul, the Supreme Soul and also of the World Drama. Each
day, in the morning, you can look into this mirror for 15 minutes at least.
Looking into this mirror means listening
or reading spiritual knowledge for at least 15 minutes that connects you to
your inner self and God, increases your emotional and spiritual power, guides
you how to perform good actions as well as reminds you of the true purpose of
your life.
You will see yourself very clearly in this mirror
as this mirror will show you:
- the
knowledge of the original virtues of the soul like peace, joy,
love, bliss, purity, power and wisdom;
- how these virtues can be
imbibed in the self to benefit the self and others;
- the
knowledge of the different types of weaknesses that can arise in the soul
like lust, anger, greed, ego, hatred, fear, attachment, jealousy, sorrow,
etc., the roots of which lie in the incorrect identification with the
physical self and forgetting the spiritual self and how these weaknesses
can harm the self and others;
- the knowledge of
overcoming these weaknesses.
All
of these things which you see in the mirror will help you to check where you
stand in comparison to the right way of creating thoughts, feelings, attitudes,
emotions, speaking words and performing actions, where you are going wrong and
how you can make the required corrections in the same. On looking into this
mirror you will be reminded of the Law of Karma (the Law of Action and
Reaction), which will motivate you to make these corrections.
