Machshava:

Teshuva 

Collections: Rabbi Weinberger: Oros Ha'teshuvah

Description

We must not let physical obstacles deter us from sincere internal teshuvah (repentance). Tefillah (prayer) for ruchnius (spiritual things) must be answered. The only way to enter avodas (service of) Hashem is by not paying attention to what others will say. Often we meet with practical obstacles that cannot be overcome right away. Going to the tzaddik removes obstacles. Humility removes the obstacles which prevent us from coming closer to Hashem.
