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.
Only by turning on the light, you can instantly destroy the darkness. Meditation can be the light shining awareness onto our attachments and afflictive emotions. As turning on the lights in a darkroom instantly removes the darkness. Likewise, through meditation or even, a rather simple analysis of our patterns of ego-clinging and afflictive emotions can make them collapse. Such collapse sees through our attachments and how these can be the cause of our suffering. Such can lead to liberation from the cycle of Samsara and the transcending of suffering .
