Reflection is the mirror that allows us to see inside of us. We invariably have one visit to an external mirror to ensure that what our eyes see is how we want to project ourselves to the world. Reflection allows us to see hidden vices inside us that upset our mental, physical, spiritual, and social balance. In our daily life, we spend so much time in a body conscious world with our senses that we forget to look at the blockages caused by dirt piles of anger, arrogance, greed, worry,…. in our recesses. We forget that anger eats away intellect; arrogance eats away wisdom; greed eats away integrity, worry eats away life;…If we do not reflect on our values, thoughts, words, and actions on a daily basis, our vices will cause turbulence in waters carrying our lifeboat. You can only see your reflection if the water is still. Similarly, ego makes us stand next to the mirror and we do not see our ugly nakedness. You can only see your self if you step back from the mirror.

Reflection is about bridging the chasm between what we really are and what we want to be. Reflection, as a neutral witness (i.e. seeing ourselves with no thoughts on a daily basis), shows us the royal road to do most good for the most people that includes yourself. True happiness can only come when the little "i" of the outer world is communicating with the big "I" – the Inner Spirit, the Self that is within. Reflection is about giving what you wish to receive. If you want respect – give respect to others. If you want love – give love to others. In essence, you have to give what you want in return.
