Like The Face Of A Mirror

The heart conceals secrets, while the mirror does not.

Let go of your worries and be completely clear-hearted;
Like the face of a mirror that contains no images.
If you want a clear mirror, behold yourself
and see the shameless truth; which the mirror reflects.
If metal can be polished to a mirror-like finish,
what polishing might the mirror of the heart require?
Between the mirror and the heart is this single difference:
The heart conceals secrets, while the mirror does not.

The Divani Shamsi Tabriz, XIII
