A lot of meaning can be packed into a sentence. Proverbs are usually well

known sentences that contain a lot of wisdom. Every proverb contains the

packed wisdom of many generations. We can explain the meaning of such a

sentence by expanding the sentence into a paragraph.

An idle brain is the devil's workshop

The human mind can never be inactive. When a man is idle, he is not

engaged in any useful activity. His mind is then open to the influence of

evil thoughts. The devil enters his mind and fills his mind with evil ideas.

Thus his mind becomes the devil's workshop. The only way to protect one's

mind from evil thoughts is to be engaged in good deeds. When a man is engaged

in good deeds, his mind is filled with good thoughts. He has no time to think

of evil.
