The Garden of Ziraat
"There is one Holy Book, the sacred manuscript of nature, the only
scripture that can enlighten the reader."
--Pir-o-Murshid Hazrat Inayat Khan
Ziraat is a heart-based
approach to gardening and food production outwardly, and to spiritual growth
inwardly. The heart, like the earth, is regarded as sacred soil to be prepared
for planting. Rocks and roots are removed; last year's stubble is plowed under.
New seed is placed in the furrow. Sunshine and rain attend the turning of
the seasons, and the ancient cycles of sowing, growth, fruition and harvest
are realized in ourselves and in our gardens and farms.
--Pir Moineddin Jablonski
