5519. What the Eye sees not, the Heart rues not.

This heart is black like blood that has dried

"If thou dost continually draw thine impulse, thy life, the whole of thy being from the Holy Spirit, without whom thou canst do nothing; and if thou dost live in close communion with Christ, there will be no fear of thy having a dry heart. He who lives without prayer — he who lives with little prayer — he who seldom reads the Word — he who seldom looks up to heaven for a fresh influence from on high — he will be the man whose heart will become dry and barren; but he who calls in secret on his God — who spends much time in holy retirement — who delights to meditate on the words of the Most High — whose soul is given up to Christ — who delights in his fullness, rejoices in his all-sufficiency, prays for his second coming, and delights in the thought of his glorious advent — such a man, I say, must have an overflowing heart; and as his heart is, such will his life be. It will be a full life; it will be a life that will speak from the sepulcher, and wake the echoes of the future. "Keep thine heart with all diligence," and entreat the Holy Spirit to keep it full; for, otherwise, the issues of thy life will be feeble, shallow, and superficial; and thou mayest as well not have lived at all."

sólo con el corazón se puede ver bien; lo esencial es invisible para los ojos.

But eyes are blind. You have to look with the heart.

There is light in the heart; there is no darkness in it. If a man's head be struck off, we cannot say who the man is by simply looking at his trunk. It is the heart which sees through the eye. A man must have the internal eye. (95)

Sólo con el corazón se puede ver bien; lo esencial es invisible para los ojos.

It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye.

But it’s not just my eyes that suffer at dawn, it’s my heart that breaks. I feel the light that blazes across the city, striking my face but also warming my marrow, and as it rises I continue to look at my neighbors’ laundry, threadbare and bone-dry. Then I close my eyes so that I see the light through my eyelids, and I regret being typically sluggish and missing out on this extraordinary, everyday phenomenon

If you desire purification of the heart then shut your eye from the corporeal world. This is the hole through which heart is defiled.

It is only with one's heart that one can see clearly. What is essential is invisible to the eye.

It is only with the heart that one can see clearly, for the most essential things are invisible to the eye.

It is sure to be dark if you close your eyes.

When you have both eyes closed to the world, a third eye opens in your heart.
