See yourself in all; Love all as yourself. A dog caught in a room whose walls are mirrors sees in all its myriad reflections, and thinks of them as not itself, but as its rivals and competitors. It barks at the other dogs and tires itself out by jumping on this reflection and becomes mad with fury. The wise man, however, sees himself everywhere and is at peace. He is happy that there are so many reflections of himself all around him. That is the attitude that you must learn to possess, it will save you from needless bother.
- Sathya Sai Speaks, Ch 3, Vol 16, 7-7-1963
