Hare Krsna
Please accept my humble obeisance. All glories to Srila Prabhupada
Our eyes close - the eyelid closes them. But Vishnu's eye never closes. Therefore He is called animisa. Therefore the gopis condemned Brahma, “Why have you awarded us these nonsense eyelids? It sometimes closes the eye and we cannot see Krishna.” This is the desire of the gopis - they want to see Krishna always, without being disturbed by the eyelids. This is Krishna consciousness. The moment, when the eyes are closed by the eyelids, is intolerable for them. This is perfection of Krishna consciousness. They are condemning, "Oh, Brahma did not know how to create. Therefore he has created the eyelids. Why has he created them?" This is Krishna conscious. Because we are in this material world, our eyelids are made like that. They must close for a moment, again, again, again. Not only for a moment but for hours. We want to close our eyes for hours. That is our disease. But in the spiritual world, there is no closing of the eyes. [Srila Prabhupada]
