"The people stood far off, and Moses approached
the thick darkness, where G-d was". (Exodus 20:21) At a moment of great
revelation, the people were afraid. Only Moses approached unafraid. Rabbi
Nachman connects this to the idea of obstacles. In order to make us worthy of
approaching Him, G-d often sends us obstacles for us to overcome, and thereby
grow. But most people, upon seeing the obstacle, will run the other way. But
the man of wisdom and insight will understand that this is actually a gift, and
that G-d Himself is in the obstacle. He will happily approach, and thereby find
G-d.
