Theological studies: If, therefore, your eye may be perfect, all your body will be enlightened

Jesus in the Gospel of Saint Matthew teaches us in a metaphorical way about how men perceive the world; we perceive with the senses but we also perceive with the mind. We have our sights set on riches or on God: "No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money", Matthew 6:24.
When we seek the wisdom of God, our gaze, that is, our attitude towards others and our body, they light up; on the other hand, when we selfishly seek our own good, we only find darkness: "The eye is the lamp of the body. If, therefore, your eye may be perfect, all your body will be enlightened; but if your eye is unhealthy, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light in you is darkness, how great is the darkness!", Matthew 6:22-23.

Aristotle tells us that we judge by our own measure, if we have darkness in our hearts, we will project that darkness and on others and thus we will have the corresponding return. On the other hand, if we have light in our heart, we illuminate ourselves and others, and that light has a return, if we give happiness we receive happiness.
When the eyes of the heart, the eye of the mind is enlightened, we have a guide, we have a path and we receive immortality, so the body is also enlightened: "To those who by persistence in doing good seek glory, honor and immortality, he will give eternal life", Romans 2:7. Immortality and eternal life are associated spiritual gifts, eternal life is the contemplative activity (worship of wisdom, John 4:24), and immortality is the gift of longevity. In a theological sense, God is immortal and can transmit that immortality in a limited way on the physical plane, we see this gift in ancient patriarchs like Methuselah. The concept of immortality, the apostle Paul takes it up with the doctrine of the resurrection, the resurrection is perfect immortality, immortality with immutability because all change is like death.
