The Mirror's Edge

 The Mirror’s Edge (Advaita Vedanta)Characters: MAYA and SAGE.Setting: A room with a large, covered mirror.MAYA: I feel so small. The world is huge, and I am just this… this person, trapped in this skin, separate from everything.SAGE: You are like a wave mourning that it isn't the ocean.MAYA: But I’m not the ocean. I’m just a wave. I’ll crash on the shore and be gone.SAGE: (Uncovers the mirror) Look. What do you see?MAYA: I see myself. And the chair behind me. And the window.SAGE: If the mirror breaks into a thousand pieces, how many Mayas will there be?MAYA: A thousand?SAGE: No. Only one. The reflections are many, but the light is one. You aren't the reflection, Maya. You are the light that makes the reflection possible. You aren't in the universe; you are the consciousness the universe is happening in.MAYA: Then where do I end and the rest begins?SAGE: That’s the secret. You don't.
