What if the mind and matter aren’t separate but two sides of the same reality? The universe isn’t just around you — it is you. The external world reflects your inner consciousness, and every thought is as real as the objects you perceive. You are the mind of the cosmos, a reflection in the infinite mirror of existence ❤️🙏

Abhinavagupta explores the idea of Pratibimbavāda (doctrine of reflection), comparing the universe to a reflection in a mirror. He asserts that all external objects are ultimately manifestations of consciousness, just as reflections are part of the mirror itself. The universe, in this view, exists only within consciousness, and nothing exists independently outside it. The sense organs are like imperfect mirrors, reflecting only certain aspects, while consciousness is a pure mirror, reflecting everything.
This profound vision challenges the separation of subject and object, revealing the unity of all in consciousness.❤️🙏
