A Thought: Spiritual Practice

Practice: “the actual application or use of an idea, belief, or method, as opposed to theories relating to it.”

Knowing and practicing are different. The first implies a state of attainment and authority. The second means the opposite, making room for self-forgiveness; it values progress over perfection. Self-tolerance gives birth to other tolerance—these two work from inside <> out, or from outside < > in; reconciling two into One. Everything then becomes only a classroom.
