> 天を仰ぎ両手を合わせずにはいられない結果が得られている

In the above excerpt, I'm not 100% sure how to connect the 結果 with the rest of
the sentence. I do understand that the meaning is something like "Obtained
result that you can't but look at heaven clasping both hands". But, again and
again, the lack of relative pronouns in japanese keep confusing me. Can
someone give me some tips?

Relative pronouns in せずにはいられない + noun
It may help for you to break it up this way:

  * 「天を仰 **ぎ** 」since the verb is in this form（連用形）, you can expect another verb or clause to come next

  * 「 **両手** を」since this is a noun that comes next, it must be the beginning of a clause and a verb will come next

  * 「合わせずにはいられ **ない** 」the clause ends with this verb in the 連体形, so you can expect that next will come a noun, noun-phrase or clause that will be the 被修飾語 of these previous clauses

> **⇒** 「 **結果** 」（被修飾語）

Since「ない」directly modifies「結果」, all of the previous words connected to「ない」are
part of that modification - No relative pronoun needed!

It as almost as if the entire utterance up until「ない」is one long adjective
describing _what kind_ of 結果 this「結果」is.
