TRANSLATION OF THE CHAT/MESSAGE RECEIVED BY GARIB ON 22 NOVEMBER 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

We traverse His paths,
We run saying and saying, "Darling."
We are amazed at each one that we see
We become thirsty [for spiritual water] whenever we see his/her/its [? His ?] Reality.

In the field, the ones who plant,
The ones who harvest the crop
Do not conform to one another.
Human does not become [spiritually] noble
If he/she does not acquire the beauty as hal.

Big and big gates
Easily opened to us,
With the ones who knew themselves
One easily passed the threshold[s].
How beautiful are those structures:
They cleaned us [spiritually];
Without saying straight, curved [without discriminating]
They saved [preserved] our identity.

The pen that is given to us
Will write the beautiful one, [? The Beautiful One ?]
To the one who knows humanity,
[it] Will give HIS word.

If we sat at a table
Close together with Mevlana,
If we finished the word that is in hearts
In one pen,
Then happiness belongs to all of us,
Wherever we are
Mevlana finds us.

To come together with Yunus on the same path,
To work [with him] for the same goal [target]
Gives happiness to earth human.
Human finds him/herself
With the love of my Rabb.

Meryem and Fatima [Meryem=Virgin Mary]
Came together on the same path,
They worked in the same hal,
They reached all universe.
Their word
Gave us power,
Their love
Crowned us.
Earth, universe
Crowned humans for what they know,
Accused [them] for what they did not know.
Each one of them greeted us with love.

At the dervish lodge of Yesevi
The one who loves becomes the loved one. [? There are the one who loves as well as the one who is loved. ?]
Human who loves
Finds him/herself in heaven.
Love brings love,
Love ends darkness, he said
Yesevi greeted us all.

The only one word of Merkezim:
To find the center of each event,
To stay in the reality of each event
Puts the one that is difficult away,
Gives lesson to the one who is late [on His path],
Shows every thing at its time [when its time comes].

Let selam [peace/greeting] be, let selam be, let selam 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.
