Question: Must we go through many obstacles on the way to spirituality?

Answer: On the way to spirituality, we do not pass through obstacles, but through signs that we must connect within ourselves in the correct form. These are pieces of my Kli. They seem opposite to me, but if I do not include them in myself in the correct form, opposite to me, then I simply will not be able to continue my spiritual development.

Let us say that I want to reach the Machsom, and on the way I must fill a basket with berries and mushrooms. When I am on the way, I am given all these “berries and mushrooms,” but only in inverted form.

In fact these are not obstacles; they only appear that way to my will to receive. But if I am missing even one of them, I will not be able to reach the destination.

This is called “a defect in the soul” (an incomplete soul). This is an extremely special thing. In spirituality, this is also called an embryo whose development has stopped:  a miscarriage, a still birth, etc.

There are various cases, just as in this world. This happens if even one obstacle is missing. Therefore an obstacle is a very valuable thing.
