A. The word is “challenge.” A person who is climbing Mount Everest does it because it is a challenge. If it was easy, everyone would do it. Now imagine, just before he reaches the summit, he gets amnesia. He would be extremely cold, have a hard time breathing, and get frostbite. He would immediately start complaining to God and not understand the suffering he is going through. He will question, “What am I doing here?” He might even say this must be due to his past karma, for which he is paying the price. When we come on this earth plane, we all get amnesia and Alzheimer’s disease. We forget the physical challenges we chose, or our loved ones chose, and even the challenge of taking care of them for life. You wanted to win the trophy of this obstacle race. You cannot run around the obstacles and claim the trophy. Your challenges are created by you so you can put your flag on the summit of life. Enjoy this challenge. My hat’s off to you for conquering this Mount Everest that you chose. — Satish Daryananibing Mount Everest does it because it is a challenge. If it was easy, everyone would do it.
