Every spirit makes its house, but as afterwards the house confines its spirit, you had better build well

Religions are many and diverse, but reason and goodness are one.
Every spirit makes its house, but as after wards the house confines the spirit, you had better build well.

No explanation ever explains the necessity of making one.
One who limits himself to his chosen mode of ignorance.
