A night without any moon and stars would be very dark, a sort of empty night. An empty mind would obviously have not much there, and that is the case with ignorance. If you are ignorant you don't know a lot, so your mind is a bit empty, like a night without a moon or stars.
This quote by Confucius means that ignorance can cloud and darken one's understanding and insight. Without knowledge and wisdom (represented by the moon and stars), the mind is left in darkness and unable to see the truth.
This phrase suggests that sometimes it's better to remain ignorant of certain information or truths because being aware of them could lead to unhappiness or distress. In other words, ignorance can sometimes bring contentment whereas knowledge can bring burden.
Socrates believed that recognizing one's lack of knowledge humbles the individual and opens their mind to learning. By admitting ignorance, one becomes curious and seeks knowledge, thus beginning the journey towards wisdom. This self-awareness allows for the questioning of assumptions and exploration of new ideas, leading to personal growth and enlightenment.
The world is the mind and the mind is the world, without one, there cannot be the other, however since both are awake illusions, you must use your mind to determine the validity of its existence.
Literally translated it is French for What Spirit.
This quote suggests that the mind is capable of absorbing knowledge or experiences beyond what the body can physically endure. It highlights the capacity of the mind to push boundaries and overcome limitations, even when the body may struggle to keep up.
Confucious

"Ignorance is not bliss; it is oblivion." - Philip Wylie "Ignorance is not innocence but sin." - Robert Browning "Ignorance is not bliss; it is the ultimate curse of humanity." - Harlan Ellison
"Ignorance is bliss" means that sometimes it is easier or more comforting to not know or understand certain things, as knowledge or awareness may bring about worry, disappointment, or fear. It suggests that being unaware can lead to a happier or more carefree state of mind.
Not conscious or in one's right mind. So asleep or enchanted.
