Don't seek to know things by their external attributes. Dig deeper. Neither form nor attributes are the whole picture of the real thing. There is a modern epigram to illustrate this: "Don't judge a book by it's cover!".This is the way to seeking the truth and finding enlightenment. Dig deeper than the surface.
If we see a feature or attribute of anything that appeals to us, we make a snap judgement, and that snap judgement may be wrong. This is the mistake of the Ignorant Eye.
The beauty and truth of anything in this world is hidden in layers, and it is our job to penetrate those layers. That is how we gain enlightenment.
