In plain words
This light is not in the eye. In this eye two have come together. Our sight is the very light of the two, within and without. The sun is shining brightly. Close your eyes within the shining sun: nothing is seen. If you close your eyes in the sunlight, the eyes should see, surely. They do not! What is the reason? The sun in you must become one with that sun. Otherwise this is not oneness. But go into a dark room, open your eyes and look: no objects are seen. What is the reason? There is no sunlight in that dark room. Without sunlight there is no sight in the eye. Only when the sight of the eye and the light of the sun both come together are we able to see an object. We must open the eyes. There must be sunlight. There must be the oneness of the two. Only then does it take shape as sacred Buddhi. By the light of this sacred Buddhi we can see. Sight is not in the eyes. Hearing is not in the ears. Speech is not on the tongue. Behind all of them a divine power stands as the support. A man has died. In the dead body there are eyes. But is he able to see? The dead man has ears too; is he able to hear? No. What is the reason? The senses are there, but the divine power within is gone. They have eyes and cannot see. They have ears and cannot hear. What is the reason? The nature of the mind has become soiled.
Once Kṛṣṇa came to Sūradās: 'Sūradās! Is there a longing in you to see Me? I will grant you sight,' He said. Sūradās said, 'Are all who have eyes able to see You?'
Though they had eyes, they were blind; Your auspicious form they were unable to behold. Though they had ears, they were deaf; Your enchanting song they were unable to hear.
Why, the ears are there like winnowing fans. But are they able to hear Your flute-song? Eyes are there. They are mere cotton pods. Are all able to see You? Eyes that can see You are needed. Ears that hear Your flute-song are needed. Eyes of skin are not what is needed. That itself is true Jñāna. That itself is true Vairāgya. So if we wish to attain the divine feeling, first of all we must recognise the nature of Buddhi.
