Just as convex and concave mirrors variously distort the images reflected in them, just as dirty, spotted, scratched, or cracked mirrors show a mixed, altered, or imperfect image of the object placed before them, so human minds variously distort or sully the spiritual truth revealed to them by the Overself. Rare is that one which lets the light shine forth unhindered, unchanged, and uncoloured. This is why the philosophic discipline, which exists for precisely such an objective, is so needed by every seeker after truth.
