Jyotir, the above is beautiful and consisely put. Well said.

Therefore “we” or what we identify as “me”, has to take rest from, or review what we experience as life; the limited and limiting consciousness we identify with requires this.
I might add...and it's ours and only ours to own and contemplate and that this too is all to the good.

Peace & blessings
