What does this mean? Is blinding and hardening hearts an aspect of seeing the Truth?

Rather, it is precisely why many did not see the truth, or, in seeing the truth, rejected it.

D-R Bible, Haydock Commentary:

Ver. 40. He hath blinded their eyes, &c. See Matthew xiii. 14. (Witham) — God blinded the Jews, not by filling them with malice, but by refusing them his graces, of which they had made themselves unworthy, and which they before abused and despised. It was their perverse will, their pride, presumption, and obstinacy, that brought on them this judgment. (St. Augustine)
