Worry about life, body, health: obstacle for Arahataphala?
Upvote:-1
Is worry about or attachment to life, health, material wealth, family, house-holding, career-building etc. obstacles for Arahataphala?
Yes, of course. These are part of the ten fetters.
A person who has attained stream entry has only overcome the lowest three fetters, and would still be subject to the rest of the fetters.
"There are these ten fetters. Which ten? Five lower fetters & five higher fetters. And which are the five lower fetters? Self-identity views, uncertainty, grasping at precepts & practices, sensual desire, & ill will. These are the five lower fetters. And which are the five higher fetters? Passion for form, passion for what is formless, conceit, restlessness, & ignorance. These are the five higher fetters. And these are the ten fetters."

Worry is an obstacle (to Enlightenment) and should be attended to with mindfulness.
