Mirror Within ( A Spiritual Journey)

Book excerpt: A seeker must be willing to sacrifice their entire life for the pursuit of truth, just as a moth sacrifices itself for the flame. While lost money can be regained, lost breaths can never be recovered. A sleeping person can be awakened, but one who pretends to sleep in ignorance is far harder to rouse. It is like setting a parrot free from a cage only to see it return, preferring the comfort and security of the cage. But is food and shelter all there is to life? A parrot in a cage cannot experience the joy of flying in the open sky. Similarly, those who prefer the comfort of ignorance will never truly experience the fullness of life. Only those who are willing to step out of their comfort zone, face challenges, and risk everything can truly benefit from the wisdom this book offers.
