a problem.
So next time you just enjoy it. Once you accept the rest, soon your energy will be revitalised. This is my observation -- that even a few minutes of total acceptance of the valley revives one completely. But the acceptance should be total, mm? One should become an island... one should cave in, and forget that the world exists.
This will make you more alive. And next time you go to a high peak; if you accept the valley, you will go to a higher peak.

[The brother of Vipassana, a sannyasin who died three days ago of an inoperable brain tumour came to darshan.]
You did well. It is difficult, but you did well. And if one can face a loved one's death, one comes out of it completely integrated.
Death can be very disintegrating... it can shatter you, or it can be a very crystallizing force and can make you integrated. It depends how you use it, how you look at it. And you have done well. Very good.... Something to say?
[A sannyasin said he had only done an Encounter group that he said he 'hated'.]
Then you will have to do it again! (laughter) Because hate shows that you are deeply related. Hate is a relationship. Unless you come out of a group indifferent, it is going to help you; either way -- whether you love it or hate it, mm?
Hate is also a love relationship. Behind each hate, love is hiding, and behind each love, hate is hiding. In fact love and hate are not two things. They are not love and hate... the whole energy is love/hate. That's why any love relationship can change into a hate relationship very easily -- in a single moment. Just a single moment before you were in love, and now you hate. And vice versa is also possible.
A friend can become an enemy. The enemy can become a friend. In fact to make anybody an enemy, first you have to make him a friend. You cannot make simply anybody an enemy; that's impossible. You will have to go through friendship.
