Summary

This quote suggests that our understanding is limited if we only focus on what is apparent to us. If we merely desire to comprehend what is visibly evident, we will gain only a superficial understanding. True understanding requires looking beyond the surface and seeking deeper meaning, as there is much more to be discovered and comprehended than meets the eye.
