Obviously not a beginners choice.

I can only add guesses to the quote and I would guess that the context here for reflection is around futility. Plus I would guess some lack of interest in cultivating insight into the nature of what drives us to continue to act in this way or even interest in looking at what is.........?

On another tack I am reminded of a principle from Āyurveda which talks about all things can be inappropriate if used 'too much' 'too little' or 'wrong'. Can be applied very easily to light and darkness.

The concept of primary and secondary characteristics as a guide to adapting āsana might be considered when looking at the relationship and trade off between focusing on either spine or legs in a pose such as is illustrated above with utthita pāda paścimatānāsana.
