Summary

This quote emphasizes the connection between respect for life and spirituality. It suggests that when we respect and value all forms of life, we develop a religious or spiritual perspective that is basic, deep, and vibrant.

Through this lens, our spirituality is not bound by doctrine or rituals but is instead based on an intuitive and fundamental appreciation for the sanctity of life itself.
