Meditation is one key to understand how we behave and do what we do in any given situation. It shows us that we have to get dirty with our emotions to be able to see through them and understand them. Why? Because meditation increases our awareness which in turn allows us to feel, live, and taste our emotions more fully and completely. This can give us a lot of insight into why we do the things we do and why other people do the things they do. Where out of this insight, compassion and understanding are born.
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 .
