Luke 11:34 says: The lamp of the body is your eye. When your eye is simple, your whole body is also bright; but when it is wicked, your whole body is dark. It means to keep yourself involved with spiritual things and not on things of the world which are in darkness, when you keep spiritually minded then your whole body will be bright, we are referred to as lamps of the world, shining our light upon the darkness, helping people in darkness that have no spiritual truth.

Jesus meant you have to focus. Jesus said that, and he meant just focus on what you're doing, then you can see the task at hand. Your mind has light, meaning reasoning power, but you must apply it; meanwhile some guy in India or where ever was saying "When walking just walk; above all don't wobble." and many other things that correlate with the words of Jesus.
Most Christians don't pay attention to the words of Jesus, because most of what he said goes way over their heads; preferring instead the words of Paul or James or Timothy or Titus or some goofy Baptist preacher...

If Your eyes are focused on Jesus Christ only, then your whole body shall be full of His light.

The eye symbolizes the will. If our will is lined up with God's will then we are walking in the light. We can focus. We can pray. We are motivated by God's will .

It's symbolic. If your eye is single, or pure, you'll be full of light. If your motives are pure, if your heart is pure you will be pure.

To me it means your vision clear, seeking truth, with no guile or hidden agendas, itching ears for what you want to hear, and then you will be filled with light or truth (truth to me is synonymous with God).
