For more than 30 years Idries Shah's collections of Teaching-Stories and narratives from the Sufi tradition have captivated the hearts and minds of people from all walks of life. Shah selected the majority of these tales from oral sources. They are repeated in homes, courts and caravanserais throughout the Middle East and Central Asia.

A farmer works the soil, sacrifices sleep, and tends to his crops. He then waits on the Lord for provision of the appropriate weather.

"The harvest is plenty and the workers our few. You are my workers. I chose you." Will you go?
