Eyes closed?
We have heard- “Out of sight, out of mind” used by us to indicate and validate how we live our lives and its possibly true for most of us. Why ? Because we derive and draw toward and give attention to lot of things we see. Think about it – on a daily basis the things we see from the time we wake up to the time we go to bed…so much happens with the eyes fully functioning! This makes us live externally.
The spiritual leaders however caution us to walk by faith, not by sight as St. Paul convicts us or as the yogis recommend a learning and a daily meditation practice that makes one go into the self with eyes closed and really see the infinite potential within which comes from above!
Or as John Lennon said – “Living is easy with your eyes closed”
Or as Helen Keller who was deaf and blind said - ” People with eyes – do not see” … when i heard that in my 7th grade, i thought Helen was crazy! Now i know what she is talking about.
Also wonder why we close our eyes while praying and also while kissing? Hmmm…..
Where does the movie “Eyes wide shut” fit into all this?
So, we are then doing the opposite of these great people are saying. Seeing and making it the focus of our attention, energy and passion. Wow!
I can appreciate the sight and gladly use the gift of sight. Its like a tool – do i use it all the time and no time for intro-spection is whats in question and invites an examination.
So, which is it for you -
Out of sight - out of mind (OR) In your sight – In your mind ? (OR) something else more profound ?
Curious to hear your thoughts…
