Simplified Meaning:

Even if someone hurts you physically or takes away your life, they can't destroy who you really are inside. Your thoughts, feelings, and beliefs are much stronger than your body. For example, consider how people can be very brave even in difficult situations, like soldiers risking their lives to protect their country. Even if they get hurt, their courage and love for their homeland remain. Imagine a time when you're facing a tough challenge, like standing up to a bully. They might try to scare you or hurt you, but they can't change your courage or the strong values you hold dear. That inner strength is your spirit. It shows that while your body might be vulnerable, your true self can stay strong no matter what. So in life, if you face hardships or someone tries to break you down, remember that your spirit—your inner determination and beliefs—can't be taken away. Use that strength to keep going and stay true to yourself, even when things are tough. This mindset can help you find resilience and hope in difficult times.
