- Reader of the sutra: Sw Ananda Teertha.
- The sutra
- There was once a woman who had heard of the fruit of heaven. She coveted it.
- She asked a certain dervish, whom we shall call Sabar, "How can I find this fruit, so that I may attain to immediate knowledge?"
- "You would be best advised to study with me," said the dervish. "But if you will not do so, you will have to travel resolutely and at times restlessly throughout the world."
- She left him and sought another, arif the wise one, and then she found Hakim, the sage, and Majzub the Mad, then Alim the scientist, and many more...
- She passed thirty years in her search. Finally she came to a garden. There stood the tree of heaven, and from its branches hung the bright fruit of heaven.
- Standing beside the tree was Sabar, the first dervish.
- "Why did you not tell me when we first met that you were the custodian of the fruit of heaven?" she asked him.
- "Because you would not then have believed me. Besides, the tree produces fruit only once in thirty years and thirty days."
