TRANSLATION OF THE CHAT/MESSAGE RECEIVED BY GARIB ON 16 AUGUST 2007

[Texts written between square brackets and some punctuation are added for the sake of making the meaning clearer.]

IN THE NAME OF ALLAH, THE MOST MERCIFUL, THE MOST COMPASSIONATE

The sound of running waters,
The ornament of their surroundings
[they] Find oneness together with human,
[they] Protect their surrounding together with human.

At the place where darling [beloved] Meryem stands, [Meryem=Virgin Mary]
On the day when her name is written on skies,
She gave her word [promised] in the name of all universe.
She saw the benefit [good deed] of the duty that she assumed:
She found herself in loving hearts.
She said,
"If your day is well-lighted
Mine is sunny;
If your heart is burned
My heart is in fire.
We should reach waters,
We should question waterlessness.
It never comes from my Rabb as incomplete.
HIS human who is in peace
Does not experience poverty,
Does not know unlawfulness,
Does not become prisoner of his/her ego."

Mevlana said,
"Barley[, and] wheat turn green in field.
Human succeeds if he/she serves.
[however,] If patience is not enough, it may come to an end.
You should [first] know the place of everything
Then you start to serve."

Yunus Emre runs to windmill.
He carries provisions sack by sack;
Each one will be bagged and placed,
[and] Will be given to their owners by Yunus Emre.
Neither is he The Writer
Nor is this the order.
No one's property is left to anyone else.
The ones who get their labor, do not laugh in vain. [the ones who serve, they laugh] [to laugh==to follow footprints of Prophet Mohammad]

Hadji Bektas is by the water.
He salutes his close friends,
He looks at his close friends.
Each one is in pen. [each one attends our chats]
The one who donated/donates his/her name yesterday, on day [the one who is remembered [by his/her service] yesterday, today]
He/she is sure of WHAT is in him/herself.
Where he/she steps his/her foot on is ground. [he/she stands on solid ground, he/she has spiritual level]
He asks us,
"Do you know WHOM does the universe belong to?"
THAT is only one name:
That name is my Allah's.

Jugs that are filled up to the top... [we present plenty of spiritual knowledge]
[however,] The ones who do not know are mad at us. [the ones who do not know turn their back to us]
Where there is love,
There is never any "being mad [at one another]."
Human who is mad [at another] can not find what he/she seeks.

Sufism is the foundation of humanity;
"To be human" is the aim of the one who knows.

Let peace be, let peace be, let peace be.

Allahu Ekber [Allah is The Greatest], Allahu Ekber, Allahu Ekber.

Lailaheillallah Muhammeden Resulullah. [Allah is The only One to be worshiped; we wish to YOU and to Your Representative Mohammad.]

LOVE, SEE & SHARE:

Love all HIS creations;
See HIM in all of HIS creations;
Share HIS Meaning.
