I am blind and do not see the things of this world;

But when the light comes from above,

It enlightens my heart and I can see,

For the Eye of my heart sees everything;

And through this vision I can help my people.

The heart is a sanctuary at the center of which there is little space,

Wherein the Great Spirit dwells, and this is the Eye.

This is the Eye of the Great Spirit by which He sees all things,

And through which we see Him. 

If the heart is not pure, the Great Spirit cannot be seen.
