“We approach a problem, which is always new, with the old pattern. The challenge is always the new but our response is always the old. Our difficulty is to meet the challenge adequately, that is, fully. The problem is always a problem of relationship: there is no other problem. And to meet the problem of relationship, with its constantly varying demands—to meet it rightly, to meet it adequately—one has to be aware, passively. And this passivity is not a question of determination, will, or discipline. To be aware that we are not passive is the beginning; to be aware that we want a particular answer to a particular problem, surely that is the beginning: to know ourselves in relationship to the problem and how we deal with the problem. Then, as we begin to know ourselves in relationship to the problem—how we respond, what are our various prejudices, demands, and pursuits—in meeting that problem this awareness will reveal the process of our own thinking, of our own inward nature and in that there is a release.
