The “Mind World” is referred to as Aina Khana by some Sufi Poets meaning Palace of Mirrors.
This can be noted more clearly in animals as everything they see takes the form of mirrored reflection. Sight for them is not vision, imagination or thought. It is simply reflection.
This tells us that the language of the animal kingdom is a more natural intuitive form of expression when compared to the language of man. When you look at animal training this becomes obvious. Elephants working with their masters reflect the thoughts of the person who trains them. This is how they know what to do.
When Daniel entered the lions den, it was the calm loving mirrored reflection of his heart that tamed the lions. Animals are very intuitive and reflect their environment. In the presence of love and peace animals cease to be aggressive. Indian Holy men sit for years in caves in the Himalayas with cobras wrapped lovingly around their limbs! This is reflection!
Remember being told not to show fear when facing an aggressive dog. The reflection of fear being mirrored by you makes the dog even more aggressive. The dog does not like to intuitively sense fear. And he senses it in the mirror being reflected by you. The emotion of fear makes the dog even more protective resulting in further aggression or even attack.
Animals know when their owners are dying as the condition is mirrored by their owner and reflected upon them! They experience intuitively the thoughts emotions and feelings of their owner as well as everyone else around them. They are sensing intuitively the reflections being mirrored by these people. To animals this natural means of communication is mirrored and reflected from one to the other. A universal language understood by the animal kingdom.
For humans, the understanding of this subtle language requires a greater awareness of intuitive impulses and promptings.
The mind is like a lake. If there are any disturbances on the surface then what is being mirrored and reflected is distorted. That is why it is so important for man to still the mind. Once his mind is still, man is capable of receiving the reflection being mirrored by other minds.
The mind capable of focus and concentration is a very powerful mirror. Holding the clear picture of a thought in ones mind creates a clear reflection which is mirrored outwards. Other minds will quickly receive the mirrored reflection and sense what the person is thinking. Sometimes they may even start thinking along the same lines.
Does the heart reflect the mind or does the mind reflect the heart? Again, like a mirror, the mind is the surface and the heart is its depth. They are therefore one and the same. If the reflection in the mind comes from the depths of the heart it has more power. Intuitively people sense this. That which is reflected from the depths of the heart reaches greater depth. Where as, that which is reflected from the surface, remains on the surface.
In humans our thoughts turn into pictures and these pictures are mirrored by the thinker. This is what is reflected. Reflection is not like a conversation. In a conversation words are used to convey ideas. This is open to interpretation. In reflection, the idea is reflected in an instant because the idea is present in the form of a picture and this picture is mirrored by the mind receiving it.
Think again before trying to fool anyone! Your thoughts are being reflected outwards from your mind like a mirror.
