This has to be understood. If you don't love, there will be no challenge; if you love, there will be great challenge in your life.
If you don't meditate there will be no challenge; if you meditate, the WHOLE MIND will strike against you, will become antagonistic, will try to destroy your meditation.
This is some basic law in life: that if you try to attain something higher, it has to be tested, it has to pass through many tests and many criterions. And those tests look like winds and they will strike HARD on you. But they are good, because only they will make you strong and crystallised.
And only they will show you whether you have built on rock or on the sands.
Remember, only if you do what you feel, think is right, is there going to be any change, mutation — otherwise not.
Be a wise man, don't be a fool. Make something in timelessness. Make something out of your consciousness, so death cannot destroy it.
There is something which is deathless, and unless you attain it, you will live in agony, suffering and fear.
Once it is attained, all agony, all misery, all hell disappears. And then there is beauty, and then there is benediction.
