Notice the mind of the blind man, he was obedient in everything. He did not say: If indeed clay and saliva can give me eyes, what need do I have of Siloam? If there is a need for Siloam, what is the need for clay? Why is he anointing me (with mud)? Why does he order me to wash? He didn’t think about such things. He prepared himself for one command, which was to obey in everything the One who gave him the command, and not to do anything contrary to it.
