๐ด Dealing with Obstacles - 3 ๐ด

๐ป Spiritual Instruments - 1 ๐ป
In his yoga teachings Patanjali gives a number of obstacles, which obstruct the progress on the spiritual path:
Disease, rejection, doubt, mistake, laziness, indulgence, illusion and self-delusion, lack of determination, lack of continuity of purpose, and disappointment.
Many things have to be re-aligned, so that our personality can attune to the soul, and this has to be done slowly.
If we turn to one obstacle after the other, each for a year, we have overcome 12 obstacles in 12 years. If we want to overcome all 12 at a time, we cannot overcome even a single one. In this a certain occasional indiscipline is o.k.
Thus we can allow the personality from time to time to enjoy a little something; then it is more willing to place itself under the soul.
Otherwise it will spring up with a thirst for revenge after a while. It is said that even the masters tease each other just for sport.
What has been built up in the deeper psyche can be corrected with the help of spiritual instruments, and we obtain them from spiritual psychology.
Normal psychology helps to find out the problem, but in order to solve it we have to turn to the deeper psychology. There is a solution for every problem, and it can be found.
