Timing...

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, 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.
