The Big Mirror ~ Sreejith Krishnan

Once a dog ran into a museum where all the walls, the ceiling, the door, and even the floor were made of mirrors. Seeing this the dog froze in surprise in the middle of the hall, a whole pack of dogs surrounded it from all sides, from above and below. He could see a whole pack of dogs surrounding him from all sides, from top to bottom.


Frightened, the dog frantically barked. The reflections imitated the bark and increased it many times. The dog barked even harder and the echo was keeping up. The dog tossed from one side to another, biting the air – his reflections also tossed around snapping their teeth.

The next day in the morning, the museum security guards found the miserable dog, lifeless and surrounded by a million reflections of lifeless dogs. There was nobody, who did any harm to the dog. The dog died by fighting with his reflections.

The World is a big mirror. Everything that is happening around us is the reflection of our thoughts, feelings, wishes, and actions.

Without self-awareness, we risk reacting blindly to the reflections of our own emotions and behaviors.

Our external experiences are often a reflection of our internal state. We see the world, not as it is, but as we are.

Change your inner world to change your outer world!
