Practice, of both the athletic and the spiritual kind, are quite similar. They both focus on our imperfection by accepting and acknowledging them. Such that spiritual practice is
not a manifestation of perfection, but an acceptance of imperfection. One does not
achieve or attain spiritual heights of compassion, kindness, mindfulness and equanimity; one develops them by meeting the moment over and over again.
Everything has causes and effects, and that only understanding such causes and that nothing is unchanging can yield to spiritual freedom. Envisioning this death and rebirth can lead to liberation and serves us as an exercise to rehearse how the mind shapes our reality, embodiment and environment. Such that realising that nothing is permanent and everything is changing has the power to awaken within us our ability to recreate our lives moment by moment.
