WONDERS OF THE EYE

The human eye is one of the most expressive element of the human being. It is also very beautiful. There are some things that cannot be expressed in words, but they find expression in the eye. Sometimes, the eye expresses the deepest thoughts in the heart of a person which they were probably blocking from being seen by someone.

I once heard a story where a young girl asks a saint where is god? he says child go and look in your eye in the mirror. You will see the soul and hence god. The child does the same. And is bewildered to see that there is so much hidden behind the small eye! There was beautiful sparkle and she couldn't take her attention away from the deep things that seemed hidden behind this beautiful organ.

On a scientific note, the human eye is the reason we can see this world. If the eye was similar to watching through a lenses or glasses at the world. which would put a tinge of some color say blue or green in everything, we are probably looking at the world the particular way that it would look if I wore a stained pair of glasses before them. Its amazing that even though we perceive that the eye is made of the same kind of flesh and blood as the rest of the body we are seeing through it!! on the other hand we cannot do the same with ordinary skin!! this is how amazing life is!

It is true that the eye is one of the most expressive organs. Even animals that don't speak find expressions for some of their deepest desires and thoughts in the eye. But I also sometimes feel sad that this very expression can be surpassed or used to advantage by certain people in certain professions. Like the acting profession. I feel amazed to see how convincingly people can act in movies and probably in real life!! They use this very almost divine expression to their advantage. So it leads me to think that expression of the eye is beautiful when it is combined with the child like innocence. I find a child's eye to be the most beautiful and most expressive one. As a child is innocent and open to different things as it has not formed the so called personality (ego!!)
