The ark of the covenant was covered by cherubims on the mercyseat. The mercyseat was where the blood of atonement was sprinkled. The eyes of the cherubims were looking towards the place on the mercyseat where the blood was sprinkled. Eyes in the bible represent UNDERSTANDING.

Eph 1:18 KJV The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints,

The ark depicts UNDERSTANDING the truths of the power towards us that is equal to the power with which God raised Christ from the dead and set Him at the right hand throne of power. The mercyseat stands for this right hand throne of power. We are seated there with Him. So the eyes of the cherubims gazing at the mercyseat speak of the understanding that we must gain in order to stop walking after the flesh and start walking after the Spirit.
