Besides the lack of a Guru, what other personal traits does Hemadpant identify as major obstacles to achieving spiritual goals?

๐Ÿ“– Chapter 2

In Chapter 2, Hemadpant identifies the pride associated with debating as a major personal obstacle to spiritual attainment. He describes debating as a "bad trait" and "extremely harmful," noting that a lesson was given to him specifically so that his "pride of debating should dissolve." This implies that arrogance and the tendency to compete with others are significant hindrances. Following this realization, he concludes that true progress is impossible without the foundational qualities of faith (Shraddha) and patience (Saburi). Therefore, a lack of faith, a lack of patience, and a prideful, argumentative nature are presented as key obstacles on the spiritual path.
