The Line

In the midst of the greatest obstructions, friends come.

Interpretation

Here we see the man who is called to steer the distress. They must not try to evade the obstructions, however dangerously they may pile up before them. But since they have a truly higher calling, the power of their spirit is strong enough to draw people to them, so that they come and help, and they are able really to organize them, so that through the planned, distributed cooperation of all involved, the obstruction is overcome.
