Summary

This quote depicts a priest as someone who is deeply connected to the spiritual realm, to the point where the physical world appears to be symbolic and representative of deeper truths. It suggests that a priest's focus is primarily on the intangible aspects of life, such as faith, metaphysics, and the divine, rather than being preoccupied with material or superficial matters. The quote implies that a priest sees the visible world as a reflection or representation of higher spiritual realities, and thus their perspective and purpose in life revolves around this understanding.
