what is seen in the mirror even if the mirror is pefectly pure and

clean...is not the real Self...

what is reflected in the mirror is mere reflections

 

its like the clouds in the sky

you are the sky...and the clouds are in you...few or many does not

affect the sky...

when you are no longer so interrested in the clouds or the

reflections you no longer feed them and they start being

unimportant...

and this is leaving you alone in your purity...
