Eyes are the window to the soul. I find its origin in the Bible 58 to 68 A.D. Matthew 6 22-23 (NIV):
"The eye is the lamp of the body. If your eyes are healthy, your whole body will be full of light. But if your eyes are unhealthy, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light within you is darkness, how great is that darkness!"
EYES ARE THE MIRROR OF THE SOUL: "A person's thoughts can be ascertained by looking in his or her eyes.” The proverb has been traced back in English to Regiment of Life. But the proverb was known much earlier. Cicero (106-43 B.C.) is quoted as saying, “Ut imago est animi voltus sic indices oculi” (The face is a picture of the mind as the eyes are its interpreter). The Latin proverbs, “Vultus est index animi” or “Oculus animi index,” are usually translated as The face is the index of the mind. The French say, “Les yeux sont le miroir de l'ame” (The eyes are the mirror of the soul). “The eyes are the window of the soul” is a variant form of the proverb.

Don't charge interest on your loan to your country men when you loan him money.
In the Jewish communities this is being practice today. Of course criteria has to be met that the loan is use only to lift one out of poverty.
This is another way to prevent a rich person from having an evil eye toward his poor countrymen.
