Please help understand below (from chapter ‘Equality’, page 191-192) in the right context:” Our secret soul takes a pleasure in this strife and effort, and even a pleasure in adversity and suffering, which can be complete enough in memory and retrospect, but is present too behind at the time and often even rises to the surface of the afflicted mind to support it in its passion; but what really attracts the soul is the whole mingled weft of the thing we call life with all its disturbance of struggle and seeking, its attractions and repulsions, its offer and its menace, its varieties of every kind.”πŸ—οΈβœ¨πŸ”’β€οΈ

Yes the secret soul is the psychic being.

The pleasure in adversity is not necessarily only for the opportunity of progress it provides but

As you can imagine, I am feeling exhausted. with all that pushing, all the series of frustrations.
