Summary

This quote emphasizes the idea that religion is not just a mental concept or a feeling; it requires action and practice in one's life. Merely believing or having an abstract understanding of religion is not enough â€“ there must be a lived experience of following its principles and teachings. If one's religious beliefs do not prompt them to embody and enact them in their daily life, then it is more akin to imaginary fantasies or abstract philosophical ideas rather than a true religion.
