Let Your Inner Light Shine

When the moon reflects across a body of water, its brightness illuminates the water, acting as a mirror. When we gaze into a mirror, we see a reflected image of our face, but we know that there is more to us than just what we see in the mirror.

As we look within and explore our inner selves, we become aware that our outer lives are often a reflection of our inner state of mind. If our lives are mostly pleasant, with love, peacefulness, and harmony reigning supreme, then this shows that our inner self is pretty much balanced and doing well. However, if stress, chaos, and instability constantly show up in our lives, it reflects our state of mind and indicates a need for adjustment.

With the state of the world, it goes to show that many people are experiencing turmoil and upheaval in their mental and emotional states, and it is being conducted into the physical world. This leads to senseless violence and destruction.

We must acknowledge that we have a duty to ourselves to clean out the muck that pollutes our innermost thoughts and feelings, which reflects out into our lives. In doing so, we can let the light of our inner being grow brighter and allow it to shine with love, compassion, and grace, and this will light the way for others to do the same.

Enlightenment is like the moon reflected on the water. The moon does not get wet, nor is the water broken. Although its light is wide and great…the whole moon and the entire sky are reflected in dewdrops on the grass, or even in one drop of water.
