Knowledge of reality and knowledge of unreality arise together within being. It is like seeing an entertainer twirl a firebrand, causing the appearance of a circle of fire: the circle of fire is not real. The awareness of the circle of fire is real because awareness is reality; but the thing that seems to appear is not what it appears to be. Do not second-guess your motives, your thoughts, or your actions. Learn from everything that happens. Take responsibility for what you do. Reflect on your life. Know that you have always done the best you could, no matter how good or bad the result.
Thank you for your frank post. I happen to feel that ultimately love doesn't have a subject or object but is undivided. Yet we all can't help seeking it anyway, directed to ourselves (if we're too harsh on ourselves) or others. All the best.
