GITA 108 DAYS - Day 66
66. Vision within a Mirror house
We should realize the Lord’s glory as we see ourselves in the myriad of reflections as we enter a mirror house. All are our own images; but they are all Lord’s as well. When we bark like a dog at those images, they will also bark back at us until we are tired of these futile utterances. The whole activity has taken place because of the ignorance that the image is indeed our own. Once we realize that it will be a blissful experience.
The Lord explains His most significant glories by taking the most special in each category of things and beings. Each of those embodies the greatness of the particular category. Once we know that it is the Lord Himself, there is no need to talk about the others. The Lord is thus giving a goal for each of us to behold and pursue. He is show casing all the possibilities that can be achieved and guiding us as to what we should all try to become unto like Him. Those greatnesses explained by the Lord are highly inspirational and worth meditating upon.

Prahlada among the demons; Time among concepts; lion among animals; Garuda in birds; Wind among the cleaning agents; Sri Rama among the weapon wielders. Makara among fishes; Gamga among rivers; Spiritual virtue among knowledge; dialogue among the debaters; Letter ‘A’ among the alphabets; dual conjugates among sandhis; time among that which are imperishable; All encompassing ruler and lawgiver, etc. are all Lord’s glories.
