The World is Our Mirror

I remember once a woman in a spiritual community stating that she had successfully cut all negative people out of her life, and the only remaining annoying voice was that of her son. My stomach turned when I read it. While I didn’t know anything about the situation she was in at that time, I have come to a drastically different conclusion as I traveled my journey of spiritual transformation. By reaching for the light there is also so much raw darkness drifting to the surface for us to digest, and the best thing we can do is to accept our environment as the dirty mirror that tells us how much healing we have to do ourselves. By carefully polishing this mirror we are finally in a position to separate the wheat from the chaff so to speak. I never cut anyone from my life until Kali Maa tells me that it is time.
