The Universe is the reflection of a mirror. Similar to the image of a town as seen in the mirror, when one sees the image of the world within him, the world appears as if it is outside. The Truth is the Supreme Soul, the one without a second. The mind, senses and intellect are able to only discern the reflection of the Soul. The identity of the Supreme Soul and Soul is apparent after Self-Illumination or Self-Realization. It is similar to his seeing due to illusion, during the state of sleep, that the one real fact appears as many different truths, and he realizes, when he wakes up and sees the reality, that he is really the one and only one Soul.
- Sri Dakshinamurthy Stotram
