Plow, Plant, Harvest

.

The reformer comes to plow the ground;

the prophet comes to sow the seed;

and the priest comes to reap the harvest.

Bowl of Saki, February 21, by Hazrat Inayat Khan

Commentary by Pir-o-Murshid Inayat Khan:

There is the time of plowing, there is the time of sowing
and there is the time of reaping the harvest. It is not all done at the same time.
