Someone asked me, “What is greater: the eyes of a hundred others, or our own two eyes?”
My answer is that two is greater than two hundred.
You may say, “Crazy! 200 is obviously more than 2!”
Please consider an example: 200 ounces vs 2 tons.
2 tons weighs more than 200 ounces. Similarly, the importance of our own 2 eyes has more weight that the 200 eyes of a hundred other people.
Why?
Because we cannot see through any of those eyes. Even if the number were 2 million or 2 billion, it would still not weigh as much as our own 2 eyes.
This does not mean the vision of others is unimportant. Their vision can help us to see, because they can advise us where to look and what to look for. But until we see it with our eyes, we have not realized any importance of any number of other eyes, visions, and experiences.
In fact, our eyes are rather useless without the eyes of others. We learn to see from others who see. Our parents, teachers, and role models teach us to recognize shape, colors, motions, trajectories, signs and so on. Our eyes would be useless without this information about how to use them. BUT. STILL. UNTIL WE SEE WITH OUR OWN EYES, ANYTHING ANYONE TELLS US TO LOOK FOR HAS NOT YET PROVED ANY WORTH.
This is what the Veda teaches.
