Understanding this quote
The quote suggests that ordinary perception limits what people notice. If those limits were removed, the world would appear in its full, boundless reality rather than as something narrow or familiar. “Cleansed” describes a clearer way of seeing, while “infinite” suggests that reality contains far more depth and possibility than everyday perception usually reveals.
