意味
Lacking both physical sight and understanding or discernment.
文化的背景
The phrase is deeply tied to the Quranic view that the 'heart' sees more than the 'eye'. Spiritual blindness is considered a greater tragedy than physical blindness. Blind poets like Al-Ma'arri used this concept to claim they saw the 'truth' of the world better than those with sight. Journalists use this phrase to criticize 'political blindness' in the Middle East, especially regarding regional conflicts. In Sufi mysticism, 'Basira' is the goal of the spiritual path—to see the divine reality behind the physical veil.
