Reflection
Our eyes
Our ears
Are antennas
Receivers of information
We are constantly receiving information
From newspapers, TV, magazines
From people passing on what they see or hear
We are constantly receiving perceptions and judgements
From media
From people
These subjective perceptions and judgements
Are not always wholesome
Can cloud our judgement
Can pollute our minds
Master, Master
I have often unintentionally been caught up with events
Which have no relevance to my life
How do I deal with 'junk' information?
My dear disciple,
When you see or hear of someone's bad behaviour
Reflect upon your own
A reminder of what not to do
When you see or hear of someone's good behaviour
Reflect upon your own
A model for you to follow
Any behaviour of others, good or bad
Is a lesson of life for us
A reminder
My disciple,
A clean mirror reflects with no distortion
A still lake reflects with no distortion
A still mind interprets with no judgement
