Saying 8

And he said, "The person is like a wise fisherman who cast his net into the sea and drew it up from the sea full of little fish. Among them the wise fisherman discovered a fine large fish. He threw all the little fish back into the sea, and easily chose the large fish. Anyone here with two good ears had better listen!"

The wise person is not going to trouble himself with small fishes. He looks for it and finds a big one. Let you not impress by the abundance of details in your life. Be wised. Take only what is unique and consequently of value..
Small fishes which appeared at you, throw back them, but by knowing that in time they will become bigger... and that you will find them. Nothing gets lost!

What are fishes?

Things which you need in a vital way. But The only one is important, the Unique.

Other small fishes are good, but too small for you if you are wise. But if you are not wise, you go to content yourselves with small fishes, with small religiously correct ideas.
If you are wise, acute, thoughtful, informed, skillful, and if you act as such, you will prove that you have ears to hear what Jesus said here.

Many of our contemporaries are educated, but not intelligent. An intelligent person is the one who knows what to make with her instruction.
Have the knowledge of God and what He said in the Holy Scriptures. You will find fishes which you need to live and not those who serve only for existing.
