Question: How can we reach joy if there is an internal and external obstacle in the ten? You can understand this with your mind, but you cannot yet go above it and feel the joy of the obstacle in your heart. How can we relate to this in our work?

Answer: I understand that we cannot rejoice in obstacles on one hand. But this is precisely because we lack the support of the group.

As soon as we begin to feel the support of the group, this state turns from being an obstacle into something like a competition: how can I rise up and overcome it. And this obstacle becomes pleasure to me, like it is with athletes.

It all depends on the support of the group. If I am alone with some obstacle, then this is not good! I will spend a lot of time on this, the obstacle will return, and I will not know what to do with it. I will gnaw at myself.

We must deal with obstacles together! I must immediately plunge into the group, connect with my friends, and look at the obstacle from the point of connection with them. And maybe it will not exist at all because together with the group, I have already overcome it.
