Using devotional love as a reflective surface to see your former self clearly and grieve what was lost.
In Mirabai's tradition, the beloved (Krishna) becomes a mirror reflecting the devotee's true nature. When grieving lost identity, this practice invites you to examine who you were through the lens of what you loved and desired. Your former self emerges in the gap between who you thought you were and who the beloved saw. By directing attention toward this relationship—real or symbolic—you create sacred space for grief, allowing memories and old identities to surface without resistance. Mirabai's songs reveal a self constantly being remade through devotion; her method teaches that examining the beloved reveals the mourner.
