Quote by Plato

The eyes of the soul of the multitudes are unable to endure the vision of the divine

The eyes of the soul of the multitudes are unable to endure

Summary

This quote suggests that the average person is incapable of fully comprehending or experiencing the divine. It implies that the ordinary human perception, represented by the "eyes of the soul," is not equipped to handle the profound and overwhelming nature of a divine presence. It alludes to the notion that encountering the divine requires a heightened state of consciousness or spiritual development that goes beyond the capacity of most individuals.
