Summary

This quote by William Blake suggests that our perceptions of the world are limited and distorted by our own preconceived notions and prejudices.

It implies that to truly understand the world and grasp its infinite nature, one must liberate their mind from these limitations and approach things with an open and unbiased mindset.
