This road map that we are speaking about now is a very special one. If you hold it close you will find your reflection in it. It functions as a mirror. The more you look into it the more sharp the image in it becomes. And you will indeed be surprised at what you see there!

Now take a look in this mirror. At first you may not be able to see clearly. But do not give up! Keep on looking. And your features will come sharply on the image very soon.

"Look! Are you seeing some surprising things there?"

"Yes!"

"Are you not taken aback by what you see?"

"I never thought I looked like this!"

And this what you might have seen: Instead of a lovely resemblance of yourself, you saw a blurred image. At the first look itself it must have shown you your sunken eyes, frowning forehead, scowling face, lips being bitten in anger, unkempt hair and disheveled dress!

And as you peered into the darkness that seemed to surround your image you must have seen that instead of standing upright you were crawling on the ground. Oh, the powers of darkness had pulled you down! However hard you tried you could not get up!

With great sadness and despair as you kept looking you realized that you were locked in a prison which felt like a red-hot burning oven. And each prison bar spelled the name of your sins!

The tears in your eyes now blur the image you had seen. You now realize how helpless you are. You now see that the road you had been traveling is not the road to freedom. And you cry out, "Oh, help! Someone come and set me free!"
