- Reader of the sutra: Sw Ananda Teertha.
- The sutra
- It is recorded that someone said to the great philosopher Saadi, "I wish for perception, so that I shall become wise."
- Saadi said, "Perception without wisdom is worse than nothing at all."
- He was asked, "How can that be?"
- Saadi said, "As in the case of the vulture and the kite. The vulture said to the kite, 'I have far better eyesight than you. Why, I can see a grain of wheat down there on the ground, while you see nothing at all.'
- The two birds plummeted down to find the wheat, which the vulture could see and the kite could not. When they were quite near the ground the kite saw the wheat. The vulture continued his dive and swallowed the wheat. And then he collapsed: for the wheat was poisoned."
