“Scenes appear according to the desire of the eyes.”
This phrase reveals how a person sees the world based on his vision, desires, and state of mind.
The world is the same for everyone, but the way we see it, understand it, and enjoy it is determined by our inner preferences.
Eyes are the instruments that perceive the outer world.
Yet, the images they show are filtered by the mind.
For one person, a flower garden may appear beautiful.
For another, the same garden may seem like a burden of work.
When one is joyful, the world appears filled with colorful scenes.
When one is sorrowful, the same world looks grey and dull.
Art, music, and literature are all appreciated according to the desire of the eyes.
To one person, a painting may express deep philosophy.
To another, it may look like nothing more than a play of colors.
The way we see people also changes according to our affection and preferences.
The flaws of loved ones may go unnoticed.
The small mistakes of strangers may appear magnified.
Events in society are interpreted based on our values and desires.
To one, a protest may seem like a voice for justice.
To another, it may look like mere chaos.
If desire follows a noble path, the world appears beautiful and meaningful.
This nurtures peace of mind, enthusiasm, and creativity.
If desire is selfish, the world appears broken and negative.
This creates stress, jealousy, and hatred.
The world is like an “illusion.”
What we see is only a reflection of our desires.
If we refine our desires, life becomes beautiful and balanced.
If the mind controls the desires of the eyes, the ability to see truth arises.
“Scenes appear according to the desire of the eyes” is not an ordinary phrase.
It expresses a fundamental truth of human life.
The way the world appears is not because of the world’s nature, but because of the desires of our mind.
Therefore, if we align our desires with higher values, life becomes beautiful and meaningful.
Until we meet again,
Yours,
Sakthi Sakthithasan
