In the process of evolution  we are often blessed to be rubbed together like rocks...or as you say sand paper to present our spiritual form. I met a monk who said praying the prayer; "chisel thou my will to thy purpose is indeed a powerful prayer". A person does not know what he/she is asking for praying such prayers. 'Because we ask for such things from God but then say in effect..."It hurts....it hurts...please stop now!" The ego has a hard time tolerating such spiritual  work on ourselves. As you said duality continues to effect us...it also affects our reactions to spiritual discipline and learning.
