Wisdom Mirrors Silence

More From Edgar Lee Masters

Let go of your worries let go of your worries and be completely clear-hearted, like the face of a mirror that contains no images. if you want a clear mirror, behold yourself and see the shameless truth, which the mirror reflects. if metal can be polished to a mirror-like finish, what polishing might the mirror of the heart require? between the mirror and the heart is this single difference: the heart conceals secrets, while the mirror does not.
Letting Go Wisdom Truth
Words stand between silence and silence: between the silence of things and the silence of our own being. between the silence of the world and the silence of god. when we have really met and known the world in silence, words do not separate us from the world nor from other men, nor from god, nor from ourselves because we no longer trust entirely in language to contain reality.
Reality Men Silence
Everything that comes together falls apart. everything. the chair i’m sitting on. it was built, and so it will fall apart. i’m gonna fall apart, probably before this chair. and you’re gonna fall apart. the cells and organs and systems that make you you—they came together, grew together, and so must fall apart. the buddha knew one thing science didn’t prove for millennia after his death: entropy increases. things fall apart.
Fall Cells Together
Bountiful is your life, full and complete. or so you think, until someone comes along and makes you realize what you have been missing all this time. like a mirror that reflects what is absent rather than present, he shows you the void in your soul—the void you have resisted seeing. that person can be a lover, a friend, or a spiritual master. sometimes it can be a child to look after. what matters is to find the soul that will complete yours. all the prophets have given the same advice: find the one who will be your mirror!".
Spiritual Children Thinking
The mirror sees the man as beautiful, the mirror loves the man; another mirror sees the man as frightful and hates him; and it is always the same being who produces the impressions.
Beautiful Hate Men
He sees himself in his lover as if in a mirror, not knowing whom he sees, and when they are together, he too is released from pain, and when apart, he longs as he himself is longed for; for reflected in his heart is love's image, which is love's answer. but he calls it, and believes it, not love but friendship.
