The Mind's Mirror

The mind is like a mirror, at first. It reflects the outward world and the feelings of the other minds, and its own consciousness.

The more you polish this mirror, through education and karma, the more it shines on the reflected glory of the other great minds, and its own consciousness.

Meditation removes the mercuric plating of egos, attitudes and desires embedded by the process of karma.

Thus, meditation turns this mirror into a glass, letting the Self shine through; Whence the consciousness experiences the Self.

Thereafter, beyond the transcendental state the Self merges with the consciousness to BECOME the Unity. This melting of the glass is what Buddha called the Nirvana.
