Thus the discerning one wishes to depart from it while the blind one wishes to remain in it; the discerning one takes provisions from it while the blind one accumulates provisions in it.
الإمامُ عليٌّ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ) : إنَّ الدُّنيا مُنْتَهى بَصَرِ الأعْمى لايُبْصِرُ مِمّا وَرائَها شَيْئاً والبَصيرُ يَنْفُذُها بَصَرُهُ وَ يَعْلَمُ أنَّ الدّارَ وَرائَها فَالبَصيرُ مِنْها شاخِصٌ وَ الأعْمى إلَيْها شاخِصٌ وَ البَصيرُ مِنْها مُتَزَوِّدٌ والأعمى لَها مُتَزَوِّدٌ
