What happens when I look into someone's eyes and see myself?

In the eyes of another, you first see your ego, but in the gaze of a master, you encounter pure emptiness, where the 'I' dissolves and relief blossoms.

— Osho
According to Osho, when you look into someone’s eyes and see yourself, their eyes are functioning as a mirror reflecting your present state—usually your ego and preoccupation with your own growth. As meditation deepens, the reflection shifts to a living, egoless consciousness. In a master's eyes you may finally meet pure emptiness; perceiving no 'thou,' your own 'I' falls away, bringing profound relief.

Seeing yourself in eyes is like a mirror showing your own mind; when the mirror is empty, your 'me' vanishes and you feel light.
