An examination of how your old identity was reflected back to you through others' expectations, and how losing that mirror creates disorientation.
Before Mirabai devoted herself to Krishna, she saw herself through her family's eyes: a noble daughter, a dutiful wife. When she abandoned that life, those mirrors shattered. This concept addresses the specific pain of losing the reflecting surfaces that once confirmed who you were. Your grief isn't for a real self but for the comfortable structure of being seen in particular ways. Bhakti practice offers a radical reorientation: rather than seeking mirrors in others' eyes, you learn to be witnessed by the divine, by love itself. This doesn't erase the disorientation—it transforms it into freedom. Understanding which mirrors you've lost helps you recognize which reflections were false all along.
Peri can explain this concept, give practical examples, help you decide whether it applies to your situation, or recommend a journey if appropriate.
