The Real Shobogenzo: Who now?

Dahui's Real Original, the First Shobogenzo:      

442 .  Master Zhimen Zuo said to an assembly, Xuefeng’s rolling balls, Luohan’s writing, Guizong’s cutting a snake, Dasui’s burning off a field—tell me, what do they illustrate?  Can anyone clarify?  Try to say.  If you cannot clarify, this is why it is said that to cut a snake you need to be able to cut a snake, to burn off a field you need to be able to burn off a field.  As soon as subjective data arise, that produces false views.  If you have no sinew in your eyes, you’ll be poor all your life.

(Welcome link) (ewk^who?) note:  First of all, which Cases are these? Second of all, "sinews in your eyes"? Can anyone clarify?
