7737. 'Take care not to see my face again' means that it should not enter their mind. This is clear from the meaning of 'not seeing his face again' as not entering their mind ever again, for 'the face' means the interiors, 1999, 2434, 3527, 3631, 4066, 4796-4798, 5102, 5165, 5168, 5695, in particular as regards affections. Thus the minda is meant by 'face'.
