Meaning
This quote sets spiritual teaching above the things people usually chase, and it reads as a ranking of values rather than a rejection of ordinary life. It can be taken to mean that faith offers something sturdier than status, wealth, or fleeting pleasure. It lands when someone is trying to explain why belief still matters when public success or comfort looks more attractive.
