People, some of them, die with eyes open.... we see in the movies, and the hero gently passes the palm over the eyes to cover them with eyelids.
I too had my eyes open, but was 'dead' to what I could clearly see, if only I was 'ready' to see it! Only when the team of 'speakingtree.in' educated me where to look for it, I could locate the 'log-out' button! They were very kind, gentle, and wonderfully responsive. Their reply mail was almost instant! Had it been about 48 years ago, for having asked such a query (which requires only a little more intelligent looking about with 'awareness'), I would have received a sharp knock on my head from the knuckles of the right hand, with a tight-closed fist, and that would have really opened my eyes yet again, this time meaningfully!
There was a query, answered by a great living master:

Having seen the link above, it would be easier to understand the subtle way of seeing through and through.
Recently, I happened to ask an elderly lady, 'which part of a baby's face, gives it that innocent-look, always?' .. she thought over only for a brief while, and came up with the answer “eyes”....
True.
Now came the difficult part of the query which I asked her... “then, why is it that we fail to see the opposite of that innocence, when we look at the eyes of adults around” (meaning....., in simple words, why do we fail to see the body language during a conversation? The eyes crinkle, when the smile is genuine, ..... and for that we have to see the upper half of the face, not just the broad lips...)
That lady just paused..... fumbling for a reply.... I gently persuaded with a suggestion.. “is it like we fumble, when we enter an unfamiliar, unlit, dark room, where we don't know where the switch is, or if there is a light-bulb.... though our eyes are open?” (in our own house, a familiar area, we put the hand exactly on the right switch, and get the lights on).... How it relates to our 'vision' (not just the eyes), is that we evolve into deeper perception capability (to be able to see through and through, not just on the surface...), and when the perception reaches a particular point, the level beyond that is 'spiritual' vision (as the great masters say.....).
Where am I? This is what I felt when I failed to locate that 'log-out' button, though it was clearly there all along, visible, prominent, clear and distinct !
