Quotations on Reflecting Light

There is a polish for everything, and the polish for the heart is the remembrance of God. ~ Muhammad                

Between the mirror and the heart is this single difference: the heart conceals secrets, while the mirror does not.~ Rumi  

Let me give you the mirror, but if you see some fault on its face, do not blame the mirror, but something reflected onto the mirror. Know that it is your own image; find the fault in yourself! ~ Shams of Tabriz

In the faces of men and women I see God and in my own face in the Glass. ~  Walt Whitman

You are the light of the world. ~ Jesus

Every living body emits irradiations. They are electrical. Whenever anything is touched it collects irradiations. We would understand this better if we remembered the idea of the mirror. Everything reflects back. Positive irradiations are made by will. When we have found our real selves we will be able to irradiate positiveness. ~ Rodney Collin

The body is the bodhi tree.
The heart-mind is like a mirror.
Moment by moment wipe and polish it,
Not allowing dust to collect.           ~ Shenxiu

Bodhi originally has no tree.
The clear and bright mirror has no support.
Buddha-nature is constantly purifying and clearing.
Where could there be dust? ~Huineng, Zen Master
