In Section 47 of the Hadiqat al-Haqiqah, Sanai employs the allegory of a person who finds a mirror on the road and is angered by the unattractive reflection he sees. Unwilling to accept that the reflection is his own face, he blames the mirror, assuming it was discarded by its previous owner because it inherently shows ugly things. Sanai uses this parable to illustrate the behavior of ignorant and heedless individuals. Just as the person in the story blames the mirror for his own appearance, ignorant people project their own spiritual and moral shortcomings onto others. When a wise person acts as a metaphorical mirror, reflecting these flaws back to them, the ignorant react with hostility and denial rather than engaging in self-reflection.
