Summary

This quote suggests that despite recognizing the divinity or beauty in everything around us, we may still go ahead and make necessary changes or improvements.

However, the quote reminds us that the Divine essence doesn't vanish in the process; rather, it undergoes transformation and manifests itself in the newfound cleanliness and purity. It conveys the idea that change and improvement do not contradict or diminish the inherent divinity, but rather reveal it in different forms.
