Acharya Prashant explains that a state of meditation or awareness is often temporary, and one must recognize that various external factors like habits, friends, and society will attempt to take it away. He suggests that while one is awake and conscious, they should set "alarms" for themselves to ensure they can wake up again after falling into unconsciousness. He addresses the concept of good and evil, stating that any goodness that requires the existence of evil is not true goodness but merely a part of duality. He explains that while morality has opposites like moral and immoral, Truth has no opposite. He further elaborates that life should be lived in the dimension of meditation, which transcends the pairs of opposites such as joy and sorrow or black and white. He argues that everything in life, including violence and non-violence or peace and war, has its own significance and place. Choosing only one side of an opposite leads to rejecting half of life. According to him, nothing is inherently good or bad; it depends on whether one is acting with awareness. The only real evil is unconsciousness, and the only true good is consciousness. In a state of awareness, one accepts the whole of life and responds appropriately to every situation without fear.
