That is their fault.

Is that a fault?

Certainly.

Would you expand why that would be a fault, if they…

Because I am nobody’s guru.

You don’t have a capacity to mirror me back to myself?

I have the capacity to mirror, but no mirror needs to be a guru.

I’m sorry?

In your bathroom you have a mirror. Is that mirror your guru?

No, no! I’m just asking a question.

Then what is the point? A mirror is just a mirror. There is no need to make a guru out of it. It is its nature: just because it is a mirror, it reflects. There is no need to bow down and touch the feet of the mirror, and put the mirror on your head and move around the world saying that you have a guru because it mirrors you! There is no need.

Yes, I can mirror. You have only to open your eyes. Otherwise, what can the mirror do? You can stand before the mirror with closed eyes. The mirror will still be reflecting, but a man with closed eyes. The man will not know that he is being reflected, he will not know that there is a mirror. The mirror will be doing its function; it is nothing on the part – in fact, the mirror is not doing anything, it is just the nature of the mirror. If you are not there, and a dog is standing there, he will be mirrored.
