Somebody who is busy with work - an occupied mind as opposed to an idle one - doesn't have time to think about sinning or doing any evil.
Somebody that has an idle mind has too much time on their hands and think-up and falsely imagine problems in their life that do not really exist. However, a busy mind at work, at school or both will stay occupied and will go about life in a happy typical manner, NOT falsely imagining problems in their life.
A society that had increasing free time and increasing knowledge also had time to think.. learn and debate all aspects of life. Such as religion.. and man's existence. When an educated and knowledgeable society rises, the ability of those who would seek to control them - such as governments & religious groups/cults - they lose the ability to do so.
The saying is figerative, sugesting that if you have nothing better to do then you are more likeky to get into trouble. If one keeps their mind occupied with only good thoughts then only good actions will come from them. There will be no room for evil thoughts to enter the mind, so no evil actons can take place.
Man is not made to be idle. "In the sweat of thy face shall thou eat bread" is the curse of God, according to The Bible. It is more a blessing than a curse. We should not be like drones but should try to procure honey from every flower.
There are so many things in this wonderful world and we are the only beings gifted with intelligence to understand them. So, it should be our constant endeavour to use this gift for a better understanding of the peoples of this world.
Our brain is idle when we do not have anything to think about. And this may lead to dangerous consequences. When you do not think for yourself, you allow others to influence you. Other thoughts occupy your mind and any mischievous element can easily exploit you for its own purpose.
The devil need not be the devil about whom we may have read a great deal though none has seen it in person. Any wicked idea or evil deed may be regarded devils and the workshop where it forgets these is the mind of a person who refuses to think for himself. That is exactly the reason why much emphasis is laid on education.
A truly educated person should be able to discriminate between the right and the wrong and should be able to work for the good. Education should train us to think, it should inculcate in us the right values of life. That is why it is always healthy to encourage hobbies.
Disastrous are the results of idleness. A man with an idle mind suffers and makes others also suffer, like so many dandies who are frequently seen at any so-called fashionable place, gambling, drinking and indulging in other excesses. Work is worship and is the fruit of life; but it needs direction and purpose.
"In works of labor or of skill.
Let me be busy too;
For Satan finds some mischief still.
For idle hands to do."
many variations on this theme, but if you have nothing to occupy your mind you will be tempted to occupy your mind with sin. Or. if you are idle and have nothing particular in mind you will be easily distracted. or, the devil finds work for idle hands.
This is most probably a saying from English/German tradition.
If the mind is not constantly being disciplined by the reading of the word & the Spirit of God then it allows the enemy the chance to fill it with evil
A mind not working is a devil playground

See relevant answers. Although this quote is not in the Bible, there is a similar verse that was applied to the people of Sodom : Ezekiel 16.49. Behold, this was the iniquity of thy sister Sodom, pride, fulness of bread, and abundance of idleness was in her and in her daughters, neither did she strengthen the hand of the poor and needy.
makes mind idle and useless
Heart is where the Truth is, whereas mind is where the devil workshop is.
Idleness and mischief are linked in [St. Jerome Letterscxxv. xi.] fac et aliquid operis, ut semper te diabolus inveniat occupatum, do something, so that the devil may always find you busy; cf. [c 1386 Chaucer Tale of Melibee l. 1594] Therfore seith Seint Jerome: 'Dooth somme goode dedes that the devel, which is oure enemy, ne fynde yow nat unocupied.'

yes devils can hear .... our prayers ,,, even god will hear Answer2: Depends if you're praying in your mind --> Then answer is no. Only God know what you're thinking. Jinn or Devils can't read your mind, they can only make likely conclusions. If devils could read your thoughts, then there would've been nowhere to hide from their temptations. If you're praying audible --> then everyone can hear.
