Summary

This quote highlights the idea that simply participating in a particular religious or spiritual practice does not automatically make someone a true follower or believer. Just as being in a garage does not change one into a car, attending church does not guarantee that a person embodies the principles, values, and beliefs associated with being a genuine Christian. It emphasizes the importance of personal transformation, inward faith, and a sincere commitment to living out the teachings of one's faith, rather than just engaging in external rituals or appearances.

Was Du erlebst, kann keine Macht der Welt Dir rauben. (What you have experienced, no power on earth can take from you.) Not only our experiences, but all we have done, whatever great thoughts we may have had and all we have suffered, all this is not lost, though it is past; we have brought it into being. Having been is a kind of being, and perhaps the surest kind.
