On one side of the mind the external world, the seen, is being reflected, and on the other, the seer is being reflected.
Vivekananda (on Patanjali's Sutra 22/Book 4)
So the mind is reflecting the external world that we have been conditioned to see as everything, and at the same time , on the other side of it, it is reflecting the Seer. We just need to focus a little more on the Seer side and from there the mind will become conscious of everything. We will see what we are doing and how it doesn't work. We will see how the inward side holds the answers to everything we perceive as a "problem" on the outward side. We can make the mind wise.
Colored by the seer and the seen the mind is able to understand everything.
