Is there [[freedom]] in escaping mortal [[adversity]]? Is there spiritual advancement in escape? There is temporary release, of course, but not that [[gratification]] of overcoming adversity and moving forward along the [[path]] of an [[eternal career]]. There is some mortal [[satisfaction]] when one can free themselves up from personal entanglements, but there are [[soul]]-knowing [[feelings]] that one has been ease-seeking and [[cowardly]]. That most always leads toward the building of the [[animal]] mind, not the [[spiritual]]. True happiness lies in the investment of the [[spiritual life]]. Eternal gratification comes from knowing you have bravely faced life's challenges, and without a [[doubt]], most certainly earned the [[growth]] you have [[attained]]. | Is there [[freedom]] in escaping mortal [[adversity]]?
