Gurunathar’s Divine Message Moolam Pooja 17-10-2007
I would like to answer a question:
“Why are there so many obstacles when we set out in search of God?”. Know that obstacles and hurdles will come. It is natural that they come when you are in a spiritual path. You have to overcome them. Lord Vinayagar has said that when you come to a hurdle you can either circumvent it or jump over it or otherwise, choose another path to overcome it. Then you may ask “Why are there so many obstacles?”. Each time you overcome an obstacle you grow spiritually. Without obstacles where is the scope for achievements? When you face a challenge, it is an opportunity to know your strength and weaknesses. You also seek the guidance of the spiritual, who in turn, bless you. This is why we all come across obstacles. When you overcome an obstacle God is exultant with joy and blesses you and when you enjoy His grace, more and more benefits will come your way.
