Sometimes travelers along the Path think they will be free of life’s trials and struggles. Believing a worldly advantage over problems is a benefit of spiritual learning.
It is not like this. Spiritual learning/striving is in addition to all of life’s ups and downs. This learning, in some ways, affords the traveler an additional tool to help manage life’s struggles- but does not remove or necessarily guarantee problems easier to handle. Some problems simply bring you to your knees.
Spiritual learning has its own rewards, and for the traveler these rewards are the reason for seeking.
