Nowadays, there is an inevitable pair of accessories in almost all vanity bags of ladies and even in gents’ pockets: a mirror and a comb. You dread that your charm is endangered when your hair is in slight disarray, or when your face reveals patches of powder; so you try to correct the impression immediately. While so concerned about this fast-deteriorating personal charm, how much more concerned should you really be about the dust of envy and hate, the patches of conceit and malice that desecrate your mind and hearts? Have a mirror and a comb for this purpose, too! Have the mirror of Bhakti (devotion), to judge whether they are clean and bright and winsome; have the comb of Jnanam or wisdom, for wisdom earned by discrimination straightens problems, resolves knots, and smoothens the tangle to control and channelise the feelings and emotions that are scattered wildly in all directions. – Divine Discourse, Jun 26, 1969
