All obstacles are seeming obstacles. They are mind impressions that point to the illusion of duality. They point to the erroneous belief that there is a separate subject.
Obstacles lead us to struggle with them, a dream struggle that does not reveal the innate happiness of the Self.
Sooner or later we become exhausted and we start the journey of inquiry and surrender.
In time, this journey home reveals that there is no separate one and no gaining or losing.
Only the Self IS, absolute and universal.
Borderless transparent presence.
