Spirituality is a magnet, and the magnet affects iron, not the wood or stone. Similarly, faith and devotion are iron, who has that, spirituality touches the believer, not an unbeliever.

About This Quote

In this quote, the author is speaking about how spirituality can be used to reach out to people in a way that is not possible with natural forces. For example, if we use a magnet to attract pieces of iron, we wouldn’t expect the magnetic power to work on pieces of wood and stone. Similarly, we wouldn’t expect our faith and devotion to affect people who do not believe in God. The power of spirituality works on all that enter into its sphere.
