Comment: It often happens that a person is burdened with some problems and everyone says: “Well done! It means that you are strong since you were given such obstacles!”

My Response: No, not in our case. Of course it is necessary to understand these problems as obstacles to an ascent, but in a way that they are desirable, that you are prepared for them, and they do not put pressure on you.

In addition, there are also special obstacles that are specially given from above to help a person suppress egoism. He is sent shame and all sorts of other tricks. This is the specially-made program that helps a person annul himself. This is a complex system, but it corresponds to how complex we are in ourselves.

Question: For example, when friends from other countries flew to congresses, they shared how hard it was for them to get there and what difficulties they overcame. Is it good that this happened to them? Or did they not finish something?

Answer: The fact that they overcame the obstacles is good. But for now we still cannot sort out and analyze why there were such difficulties. Either this is because we did not finish something in the past or in order to rise in the future. This is not clear to us yet.

There will be such degrees where you will be able to see where it comes from, what you can remove from it, and to the contrary, what you can accept with joy and overcome now.
