The fisherman was transporting one person on the boat. The passenger hurried the fisherman: “Hurry up, I’m late for work!” And then he saw that on one oar it was written “pray”, and on the other - “work”. - Why is this? he asked. “For memory,” answered the fisherman. - So as not to forget that you need to pray and work. “Well, of course, everyone needs to work, but praying,” the man waved his hand, “is not necessary.” No one needs this, why waste time on prayer. - No need? - the fisherman asked and pulled out an oar with the inscription “pray” from the water, and he began to row with one oar. The boat spun on the spot. “You see what work without prayer is like.” We are spinning in one place and there is no movement forward. From this it is clear: in order to successfully sail through the stormy sea of life, you must firmly hold two oars in your hands - “pray” and “work.”
