If we had a keen vision of all that is ordinary in human life, it would be like hearing the grass grow or the squirrel's heart beat, and we should die of that roar which is the other side of silence.

Summary

This quote suggests that if we were able to truly perceive and appreciate the everyday aspects of human existence, it would overwhelm us to such an extent that it would be unbearable. The analogy of hearing the grass grow or the squirrel's heartbeat represents a heightened level of awareness that exceeds our capacity to handle. It implies that there is a vast depth to the simplicity of life, and if we were to become fully aware of it, it would be an overwhelming and deafening experience.
