About This Quote
I think this is a very profound saying, because it shows that you can’t see through to the truth unless you allow your heart to see. You have to open your heart and let your vision flow through your heart so that you can really see what is happening. The eyes can only show you what is in front of them. But the eye also has another function, which is to protect the body from harm.
Therefore, there is another function of the eyes called the eyelids. When you open your eyes fully, your eyelids are also stretched fully. When an attack occurs at night, for instance, you tighten your eyelids and protect your eyes from damage.
