A moment of clarity in the midst of all the noise of life is the most precious gift.
It creates a deep impression on memory.
To be at home in solitude is bliss.

Recapitulation
Ok, so things have changed.
I have a job now! And my oral defense is over. Finishing that which you began is a sweet feeling. Because nothing matters eventually, there is no point being afraid to act.
Contemplate. When you know you can have anything you desire, the motivation to pursue desire diminishes.
Solitude does not mean to avoid being with people, but the realization that there is no other.

Self observation
Some flaws:
1. See others as potential competitors. Hence try to hide information from them.
2. Need to win over others. Try to beat them. Only appear to co-operate on the surface.
3. Secretly despise others by harboring hatred and ill will.
There is no 'self' to be liberated from.
All defects and virtues belong to the non-existent self.

Fall from grace
Fall from grace. The great story of life.
Sometimes, in life, in spite of everything, we fall.
The nicest guy can become a criminal.
The most honest guy can lie.
What is it that causes the fall from grace? Maybe self interest.
I was so proud about the fact that I always speak the truth. So much so that I started believing that whatever I say will come true. Then suddenly I lied. And the fall was excruciatingly painful.
Now I do not wish for any sort of power over the truth. I embrace my human weakness.
I have lied and cheated. And I forgive myself and forgive you for all your secret evil acts.
No matter how long you have been honest, a single lie can completely shatter everything instantaneously. Hence the desire to be good is the root of misery. The shadow cannot be destroyed.
In order to keep life simple, just avoid lying. Period.
Yes, you may fall sometime, but come back onto the path. Forgive yourself and come back home.

Lying and its consequence
The consequences of lying are instantaneous. Instantly, darkness falls on the mind and a heaviness is felt.
You don't feel good. Subconscious impression is made.
Truly, it doesn't help to lie. Especially to lie intentionally. Today, I lied intentionally.
And I swear it doesn't feel good afterwards.
Truly, its not worth lying even if telling the truth puts you into slight inconvenience.
Else, always stick to truth. Lying sucks. Believe me. Even lying to your enemy sucks.

What to do?
What is to be done? What is to be avoided?
The two endless questions.
The divine intent is forever active. Let it decide the course of action.
No need for resistance.
Gold is shaped into a ring. If it identifies as the ring, it will always be afraid of losing its identity or getting damaged. If it realizes its true identity as gold, it 'becomes' indestructible immediately.

Reality of the absolute
Awareness exists only in opposition to unawareness.
Being exists only relative to non being.
No matter how hard you try, you cannot escape the opposites. Because outside of the world of opposites, nothing exists that can be known or thought about.
That which is can only be in opposition to that which is not. Death can be only in opposition to birth.
Similarly, time and non time etc.
The only way out is the absolute. All relatives are conceptual. Only the absolute alone is real.
The absolute is neither aware nor unaware. Since awareness and unawareness give rise to each other.
