At kanilang tinalikdan ako, at hindi ako hinarap: bagaman aking tinuruan sila, na bumabangon ako ng maaga at tinuturuan ko sila, gayon ma'y hindi sila nangakinig na magsitanggap ng turo.

It's common to say “I see” when we understand something. And indeed, “seeing” in the Bible represents grasping and understanding spiritual things. So it makes sense that the eyes, which allow us to see, represent the intellect, which allows us to understand spiritual things. This can also be used in the negative, of course; the Bible speaks of people having eyes and refusing to see, and the Lord when He was in the world advised plucking out an offending eye. These represent a refusal to acknowledge truth, or being misled by falsity.
