A. ‘When your eyes are pure’ means that you see everything as it is without being deluded by illusions. When you are deluded by illusions and can’t see things as they are, it is said that your eyes have disease. ‘What is seen is also pure’ implies that what is seen appears empty.
For instance, if your eyes are not pure, when you see a flower, you see it just as a flower which has its beginning and end from budding to withering. This is the way of seeing things that you are addicted to, but if your eyes are pure, you can see the true-Self in the flower without budding and withering. This is referred to as seeing the treasure hidden in things.
