Quote #4

would not, from all the borders of itself,
burst like a star: for here there is no place
that does not see you. (12-14)

First the celestial image of the star, then we get the idea that there is some higher power that sees us indicate that there's some greater force at work here. We, as humans, are just parts of a world that's bigger than us.

Quote #5

You must change your life. (14)

What is spirituality if not a path, a mode of guidance? The spiritual nature of contemplation in this poem is most clearly revealed by this impetus to change.
