Moses's physical eye could not endure the intensity of even a single manifestation of His divine radiance, yet I have clearly witnessed Him time and again through the eye of the heart.
This couplet alludes to the encounter on Mount Sinai, where Prophet Moses fell unconscious because his physical eyes could not bear even a single flash of divine light. The poet contrasts this outward failure of sight with the quiet power of inner vision—the 'eye of the heart'—which beholds that very same radiance again and again. It tenderly suggests that the Divine cannot be grasped through ordinary senses, but reveals Itself endlessly to a heart anchored in pure love.
