The story told by the historical figure named Jesus about the sower focuses on another group of people. This is a group who hears and receive God's word in their heart but never become productive in a spiritual sense although they remain receptive to spiritual matters. (Mark 4: 18-19)
This group does not have the word taken from their heart by the enemy as Jesus discussed earlier in the story. Nor does this group drift away because of persecution or hard times in life which Jesus talked about as well.
Instead, this group hears and receives the word sown in their heart but never become fruitful and productive from a spiritual perspective. The reason is simple.
Their spiritual perspective in life never becomes quite clear. They are unfruitful because their life focus is on the cares of life, or the deceitfulness of riches or their eye of the tiger is on fulfilling the lusts of the flesh.
