Lessons by our Holy Fathers
People are generally called intelligent through a wrong use of this word.
The intelligent are not those who have studied the sayings and writings of the wise men of old, but those whose soul is intelligent, who can judge what is good and what is evil; they avoid what is evil and harms the soul and intelligently care for and practice what is good and profits the world, greatly thanking God.
Abba Anthony the Great
