Actually, as it is in the world, what is living? Not your idea or my idea of what living is; what is the fact, the actual fact of what is going on in the world? What is actually going on in the world is war, national divisions, tremendous prejudices, race against race, colour against colour, the appalling exploitation of organised religions, the conflict, both outward and inward. That is what we call living, and in that living, in that field, there are a great many challenges. Those challenges precipitate actions that are more competitive, more aggressive, more despairing. These are all facts. Is it possible to understand this whole structure and go beyond it, transcend it, and have peace? If there is peace, why should you have challenges? A man who sees things very clearly, why should he have challenges? His clarity itself denies every challenge. It is only the man who is asleep, who is confused, that needs challenge, and his response is according to his sleepiness, according to his confusion. When you live rightly, which one has to go into very, very deeply, then why should you have challenges of any kind? Then you are alive, not confused. Then you are beyond all challenges.
