Monk mode

If intent be pure,
outcomes as may be any,
oh hermit, all’s forgiven.

Nonjudgmental eye
observes waves in the ocean,
according no preference.

Ahh, hermit mode.. What a deep and insightful poem this is! Often in life we need some time to reflect upon things in solitude, which otherwise overwhelm us in anxious waves.. You've so rightly said "If intent be pure, outcomes as may be any, oh hermit, all’s forgiven" It all depends on the intentions.. so nice to read your wise words today after a long while. Sending best wishes and light to you always ~

Best wishes. So you want to be an engineer? Did you get through the IIT exam?

So nice to hear from you, Hiya. Are you back or still hibernating?
