Question: Should we work with obstacles by overcoming and eliminating them?

Answer: If obstacles arise on our path toward achieving the purpose of creation, then we must go against them.

Question: Some people are supported by their families in their study of Kabbalah, while others are seemingly led away from these studies by their families. What does this indicate? What does the Creator want to give through such obstacles?

Answer: The Creator wants to give a person the opportunity to overcome these obstacles.

Question: Who is the true worker in the eyes of the Creator?

Answer: The one who cares about correcting the collective Kli (vessel).

Question: Are my personal doubts also obstacles? Should I clarify them or pray to the Creator?

Answer: Pray to the Creator and clarify them.

Question: Everything that happens to us, including obstacles, comes from the Creator. To verify this, one might observe how these obstacles are later resolved; the problem arises and it turns out that everything is for the best. Can one see how all obstacles are resolved?

Answer: No, this is completely incorrect. You should not spend time on this. It will lead you away from the correct attitude toward the Creator, nature, and everything in general.

Question: What is the connection between the feeling of a blow I experience internally when an obstacle comes to me and the feeling of connection?

Answer: The connection between these two feelings is that through the blows, you sense how distant you are from the source of the blow, and through unity, you feel how close you are to your friends.
