Mirror: How Our Obsession with Appearances Drowns Out the Soul
Bring on the Swag! The unquenchable thirst to look cool, beautiful, sexy. We check ourselves 100s of times in the mirror. A billion mobile phones have cameras -- just to quench this thirst!
Downside
- Our mis identification deepens with every look in the mirror.
- We identify with the body bag 100%
- Soul is just another word in our vocabulary.

क्षेत्रक्षेत्रज्ञयोरेवमन्तरं ज्ञानचक्षुषा ।
भूतप्रकृतिमोक्षं च ये विदुर्यान्ति ते परम् ॥ ३५ ॥
kṣetra-kṣetrajñayor evam
antaraṁ jñāna-cakṣuṣā
bhūta-prakṛti-mokṣaṁ ca
ye vidur yānti te param
Translation :
Those who see with eyes of knowledge the difference between the body and the knower of the body, and can also understand the process of liberation from bondage in material nature, attain to the supreme goal.
HARE KRISHNA!!!
