Summary

This quote suggests that when someone becomes overly zealous and fixed in their beliefs about religion and their understanding of the divine and the cosmos, they lose the true essence of faith. By being excessively rigid and unwilling to question or entertain different perspectives, they close themselves off from the potential for genuine religious experience and spiritual growth. True faith involves a level of openness, humility, and willingness to explore and evolve one's understanding of the divine.
