The Mirror Story
One afternoon, a man entered a small hut to seek the wisdom of a master. His shoulders were tense, his eyes worn down, as if the day—and many before it—had pushed against him from every side.
He spoke with frustration and bitterness.
“Master, I don’t understand. Everywhere I go, people treat me without respect. They talk down to me, judge me, make me feel small. I’m tired of it.”
The master didn’t answer right away. Instead, he reached for a small, round mirror resting on a wooden shelf—old, with a tarnished brass frame—and placed it in the man’s hands.
“Look,” he said.
The man lifted the mirror and stopped. The glass was dull and covered in dust. His reflection was there, but blurred and gray, as though hidden behind a thin fog.
“This mirror is dirty,” the man said.
The master asked quietly, “Do you blame the mirror?”
The man let out a brief laugh. “No. The mirror hasn’t done anything wrong. It’s just dusty.”
The master nodded and handed him a soft cloth. “Then clean it.”
The man wiped the surface. Slowly, the dust fell away and the glass began to shine. His reflection grew clear. And for the first time, he noticed details he had overlooked before—eyes constantly on guard, a jaw clenched tight, a stare braced for harm.
The master spoke gently.
“The mirror never changed. Only the dust did.”
The man remained silent.
“You say the world keeps disrespecting you,” the master continued. “But when your mind is filled with tension, you meet life defensively. Ordinary words sound like insults. Passing glances feel like judgment. You protect yourself before you’re attacked—and the world responds with distance.”
The man swallowed. “So… this is my fault?”
The master shook his head.
“Not your fault. Simply the cause. When the mind is clouded by anger or insecurity, everything is seen through that haze. And you will keep encountering what you carry within.”
He gestured to the mirror.
“You don’t need to break it. You only need to clean it.”
The man looked at the cloth in his hand and understood. Some days the world isn’t cruel—you’re just exhausted. Some people aren’t attacking—you’re simply hurting, and everything feels sharp.
He exhaled slowly.
The master ended with a simple truth:
“Clean your mind first. Then watch the world change.”
Your inner state shapes your outer experience.
