"As a metal disk (mirror) tarnished by dust shines bright again after it has been cleansed, so is the one incarnate person satisfied and freed from grief after he has seen the real nature of himself; and when by the nature of himself, he sees, as by a lamp, the real nature of the Brahman, then having known the unborn eternal God who transcends all tattvas, he is freed from all pasa." (Svetas. Up. ii. 14, 15).

"From meditating (abhidyanath) on Him, from joining (yojanath) Him, from becoming (tattvabhavat) one with Him, there is further cessation of all maya in the end." (Svetas. Up. i. 10).

And St. Meykandan has this stanza (viii. 3. a. )

"The soul, who reflecting that the knowledge derived from the senses is only material like the colours reflected on a mirror) and that these colour-like sensations are different from itself, and, after perceiving next false knowledge as false, understands the Truth, will become one with God Who is different from itself."

The formula stated in plain terms would read: "I see God, I reflect God, I become Godlike, Godly, God, I am God."

The crystal or the diamond, unlike the Sun's Light which it reflects though in its inner core it is pure, possesses the defect of being covered by dirt, mala, (Maya) and it is luminous (Chit) in a sense but unlike the Self-Luminous Sun, (Para-Chit); and either in darkness or the full blaze of the Sun, the identity of the mirror cannot be perceived,
