The eye may see for the hand, but not for the mind.

Summary

This quote suggests that our senses, particularly our eyes, can perceive things on a superficial level, but they are not capable of truly understanding or comprehending the deeper meaning or significance behind them. It implies that while our eyes can provide us with tangible information, it is our mind, with its capacity for analysis, interpretation, and critical thinking, that enables us to gain a deeper and more meaningful understanding of the world around us.
