Fact a day!

"The Pupil of the eye expands as much as 45% when a person looks at something pleasing"

It is because of this reason that Lord Jagannath has His eyes expanded and so big. We can also see this normally among people when they are excited at looking something very important, pleasant. But the Lord is so potent that the extent of His Love is also so big, unlimited and hence the symptoms of ecstasy that He experiences are also unlimited. Not only the pupils get enlarged when in ecstasy but also the limbs of the body and the hands that go inside and the whole body becomes like a boneless skin as in the case of Lord Chaitanya when He was caught by the fisherman. The fisherman thought Lord Chaithanya to be some Ghost by seeing Him.

These extreme symptoms are not common among ordinary living beings but only for exalted beings who have surpassed the sense enjoyment and who experience the spiritual bliss that is beyond the touch of material nature.
