superpowers are an impediment for finding the truth, but so can be learning any skill, an impediment can be the desire for health, or even the desire of enlightenement, and if a job is boring it can seem like that because you are not fufiling your soul porpouse, the reason you are here, your job is not fufiling your self-actualisation needs.

SatNaam,
yes you are right, any desire can be an impediment, that is why it is so important to keep saying "thy will be done, not mine", to realise the God is creator and doer of everything and we are running under his control. To accept that we are where we are as per what we have sown previously. We asked our guru about self-actualisation needs, he said that self-actualistion was the peak of ego. Self-realisation is in the opposite direction. When we are stuck in a boring job, we have to first bring the mind into peace and accept we are here because as per our karma this is what we have sown and hence are reaping. To then humbly pray to accept where we are, to still do a good job as a servant of God, that this job is in the service of God. As Sai Baba said, "dont do what you like like what you do." And as ou own guru says as well, that trust in God, be a servant wherever He places you, and when te time comes He will move you on. Its all about trusting in God doing the right thing for us, thats the only way out of desires and frustrations and to realise the true purpose of the soul - to self-realise and to become an instrument for God's Will in the world.
Thanks
