Summary

This quote suggests that in the realm of politics, relying solely on qualities such as conviction and devotion, often regarded as admirable in spiritual contexts, is not considered important or effective.

This quote highlights the contrast between the qualities valued in spiritual realms and the realities of the political arena.
