The foundation in every building is not only the foundation upon which the whole building is based, but it is what’s built first, at the beginning.
And it’s not just that. Because the foundation determines the shape and size of the building, its uniqueness and its non-substitution are obvious. When someone starts a building, they can clearly change the shape and color of the doors and windows, change the position of the furniture and the decorations, but in no case can they turn back, remove the foundation that has already been built and build again a new foundation.
Such a move is obviously stupid, but beyond that, it is obvious that the building which is already built will be immediately broken down. This simple everyday and intimate truth is used by the writer of the Sacred Texts to bring us to the reality of life and to move us away from dreams.
In the personal building of living faith, you can change a lot, but not the foundation of your building. If you ignore this truth, collapse and destruction are certain.
