Summary

In this quote, St. Teresa of Avila metaphorically depicts our existence in the world as a night spent at a second-class hotel. This comparison implies that our time on earth is temporary and insignificant when compared to eternity and the higher realms of spirituality. Just as a person staying in a second-class hotel would not become attached to their accommodations, St. Teresa suggests that we should not become overly attached to worldly pleasures and material possessions, but instead focus on the spiritual journey and our ultimate purpose in life.
