One should not expect spiritual path to be clear of obstacles, without obstacles. One who seeks truth realization may not be able to grasp the truth, because he has to know the obstacles which is blocking his realization and get rid of them. One has to attain the truth realization in the midst of illusion.
One should not wish for easy way to search the truth . In easy way , there is ignorance. The ignorance has been nourished and passed on from one generation to the next. One has to try to get rid of the ignorance, by discovering and realizing the ultimate truth." One should not hope for realization without obstacles. An easy way results in a judgmental and lazy.
The truth is easy, but, because of the accumulated knowledge and inherited conditioning it becomes very difficult to grasp and assimilate it. Accumulated knowledge and inherited conditioning are greatest hindrance in pursuit of truth. When one is conditioned to accept some thing else as truth, it becomes difficult for him to accept anything other then his accepted truth. Since, he is been involved with his inherited conditioning sentimentally and emotionally for years together, therefore, he will not be receptive to Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana.

Only when one finds his accumulated knowledge is inadequate and useless ,then only it is possible to drop the accumulated dross. One has to accept the ups and downs of life, by understanding they are mere illusion on the ultimate standpoint.
The universe or illusion, which appears and disappears is impermanent and whatever is experienced as reality within the universe or illusion is bound to be illusion. The truth has nothing to with the individual experiences with in the universe or illusion, because it is not an entity or identity within the universe illusion but it is the formless substance and witness of the illusion. The truth is hidden within the universe or illusion and it is without the universe or illusion.

The Gnani is one who has become aware of the formless witness, which is with in the three states and it is without the three states. He is a man of perfection is one who learnt to reason on the the base of the formless witness. He has delved into and has become aware of the the formless soul or consciousness, the innermost self and he transcended consciously all his identification with the physical existence. He has realized his universal identity is without the physical existence(body+world or mind).
Such a perfect seer has, when once he has realized the self is not physical but it is formless soul or consciousness or spirit, no longer is in bondage or burden of the physical existence, because the physical existence is mere illusion on the standpoint of the soul or consciousness or spirit, which is the true self. The perfect seer sees consciousness in everything and everywhere in the physical existence(illusion). Hence, the physical existence is mere mirage. There is no second thing exists, other then the consciousness, which is the nature of the soul or consciousness or spirit .
