Examples

“Near-synonym: grū́das”
“Velniui buvo svarbi ne Marija, bet sėkla, kuri buvo jos viduje. Tas pats vyksta ir su mumis. Tol kol savyje neturime gyvojo Dievo žodžio sėklos, mes neįdomūs velniui. Tada galime gyventi patogiai ir gerai. Bet, kai tik palenkiame savo ausį, kad išgirstumėm Dievo žodžio balsą, o ne raidę, tada tampame potencialiai pavojingi velniui. Todėl, labai svarbu, kad mūsų širdis būtų atvira gerai sėklai ir nepriimtų kitos rūšies sėklos.”

The devil was not interested in Mary, but in the seed that was within her. The same happens with us. As long as we do not have the living seed of God's Word within us, we are of no interest to the devil. Then we can live comfortably and well. But the moment we incline our ear to hear the voice of God's Word, not just the letter, we become potentially dangerous to the devil. Therefore, it is very important that our heart be open to the good seed and not accept another kind of seed.
