What Spiritual Practice Is Not

-from Charlotte Joko Beck

I perceive Spirituality as not a goal but a journey,
It is a practice,it is living,it is lifestyle , below words are from Joko Beck what practice is not! - Venkat

Practice is not about intellecutally knowing the physical nature of reality, what the universe consists of, or how ot works.

Practicie is not about achieving some blissful state. It's not about having vision.
Pracitice is not about having or cultivating special powers.

Practice is not about having nice feelings, happy feelings.
It's not about feeling good as opposed to feeling bad.

Practice is not about some bodily state in which we are never ill, never hurt, one in which we have no bothersome ailments.

Practice is not about achieving an omniscient state in which a person knows all about everything, a state in which a person is an authority on any and all worldly problems.

Practice is not about highlighting all sorts of "good" qualities and getting rid of the so-called "bad" ones.

If our boat full of hope, illusions, and ambition (to get somewhere, to be spiritual, to be perfect, to be enlightened) is capsized, what is the empty boat?
Who are we?
What, in terms of our lives, can we realize? and what is practice?
