What is the nature of existence as a mirror reflecting our projections?

Synthesized from Source definition

"Existence is a mirror reflecting your projections; when you bring the lamp of awareness, you realize that the suffering you perceive is merely a creation of your own mind."

Life is like a mirror: if your mind is scared, you see snakes, but with a clear mind and light you see it is only a rope.
Why this matters practically
- Instead of fixing others or the world, cultivate awareness to correct your seeing.
- Reduce anxiety by questioning perceptions before reacting.
- Prioritize meditation and satsang over compulsive rescue or problem-chasing.
