Clear Eyes

Foyan says

People with clear eyes do not settle complacently into fixed ways. The reason you haven’t attained this in everyday life is simply that your eyes are not clear. If your eyes were clear, you’d have attained it. That is why it is said that people with clear eyes are hard to find. As soon as you say “This is thus and so,” that is a complacent fixation; people with clear eyes are not like this.

Have you not read how Deshan said, to an assembly, “Tonight I will not answer questions. Anyone who asks a question gets a thrashing.” How could anyone without clear eyes comprehend this? Fail in the slightest to comprehend this, and you fall into conceptual thought, which constructs signals. That is why Deshan’s normal experience of life was comprehended by only one person, Yantou. Therefore I say you have to have clear eyes before you can attain this.

I would immediately ask a question, but I don't think giving me a thrashing will teach anything, so Deshan will have kept their word.
