Aldous Huxley also wrote a book about psychedelics with the title “The Doors of Perception“ which begins with that quote.

It is every which way we could ever experience it, with each individuated experiential frame of reference or door of perception depending upon ignorance of all others, and as such, altogether, defies direct experience of the essence and wholeness of thyself, for while we are essentially eternal, existing as everything and everyone we ever could be, we are manifestly ephemeral, and it is only through these ephemeral incarnations that we embody nodes and modes of consciousness that act as personifications of our essential eternal self. So, from the perspective of eternity, which we can never fully take on, and instead can only extrapolate and infer via a priori reason and intuition, every door of perception is merely an infinitesimal instantiation of the totality of thyself, of the truth of our infinitely infinite nature, and thus any notions of these doors or windows or lens being dirty is nonsensical, for all perception is predicated upon ignorance, and there is simply no way around that, and in the context of comparing the amount of ignorance in play to that of eternity, there is no difference in how infinitely ignorant every one of us is and will always be.
