We are told in our śāstra-s that the Supreme is omnipresent ( some call viśva or sarva-viśva). That means every atom or non-atom ( vacuum or ākāśa some call śūnya) is pervaded by the Supreme.
If this is so, then why do many close their eyes in meditation to come to realize this Supreme if it is to be found everywhere ?
praṇām
Because the single eye (Tenth Gate of our Body) through which one realizes supreme opens inwards, And it is situated in the mid of our two physical eyes like: o^o, Which is also said as Shiv-Nater.
That one may not get any confusion between the internal world and external world while meditating, that's why we are told to close our eyes while meditating.
