The imperfect eye does not allow you to see things as they are; one can only perceive the truth if one receives it from a higher source, and the highest truth which is the spiritual knowledge emitted by the Lord Himself. Only the man who has already reached his spiritual liberation can become a virtuous being and see all living beings as his own brothers. The holy being, for his part, sees each being as a spiritual soul; and when he serves his neighbor, he is the one he addresses, thereby meeting the material and spiritual needs of his brothers.
