TRANSLATION OF THE CHAT/MESSAGE RECEIVED BY GARIB ON 12 APRIL 2008

[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

There are hikmets [hikmet= 1. wisdom. 2. philosophy. 3. real meaning, hidden meaning. 4. purpose, point. 5. the unknowable intentions of God.]
In the rotation of the earth,
In the burning of the stove,
In the coming [to earth] of the human,
In the falling of the rain,
In human's look at the nature. [in the way human looks at the nature]
Hikmets are secret for the ones who do not know.
In order to be among the ones who know
You should first look for The One [Darling] That is in yourself;
Then you should comb the hearts
Of the ones who are in your surroundings.
You should embrace The One That belongs
Neither to you nor to me
But to [all of] us.
Each event is the work [result] of hikmets,
[each event] Is design from my Rab. [each event is a design of my Rab]
The one who wants to reach His Science
Should know that the creation [genesis] is faultless;
Because faultlessness is unique to Allah.
His intelligence
Knows what is in the mind of each one of us;
To the one who serves on His path,
HE shows His path. [HE helps the one who serves on His path]
[The above verses may be better understood under the light of the following information:
- Allah created/creates the matter by transforming some of HIS LIGHT into matter.
- HIS LIGHT is shadowless, matter is imaginary.
- Every thing that is visible to human eye, including human body, is HIM in the form of matter, in other words, is HIM.
- HE lets His Matter act according to rules that may be expressed mathematically. HE allows humans to discover these rules that humans call 'science.' In fact IT is HIS Science that HE permits humans to find out in order for them to perceive The Meaning.
- Human eye, which sees His Matter light, forms a curtain that prevents us to see HIS LIGHT.
- HIS LIGHT is in us, we are in HIM in every moment. As an analogy, each human's Light is like one molecule of water in the ocean; all humans may be like one cup of water in the ocean. [Yet one human's Light may wrap the universe...]
- HE knows the thoughts and intentions of each one of us in every moment.
- HE is The Creator of all events.
- Human learns The Reality at the time of migration to after earth life. The most preferred is, however, to perceive The Reality on earth, while one is in body...]

At the door of Mevlana
There is no one who cries;
Next to him,
No one's complaint persists. [next to him, every one's complaint disappears]

In his surroundings, Yunus Emre
Gives the same hand
To the wise one as well as to the ignorant one.
The science that is given:
The wise one makes it be kept by his/her surroundings, [he/she shares The Meaning with other humans]
The ignorant one [makes it be kept] by him/herself.

Meryem, [Meryem=Virgin Mary]
Oil lamp in hand,
Handkerchief [foulard] around her neck,
She goes, she comes,
She gives advices to each one who comes and goes.
She says,
"Learn what you do not know,
Claim ownership of what you learn, [digest what you learn]
Tell [explain] what you know, [share what you know]
Go to His shore." [ocean==God]

I saw Fatima,
Jug in her hand.
I said, "Where is the beauty,
Is the feast by us [at our place]?"
She said,
"Knots will be untied,
The most beautiful writings will be written;
On the path on which Ali and Commander came [? come ?]
The writing that is wished will be written."
I said, "Dear mother of ours,
Will order be added to our order?
Will the ones who love
Hold the hands of one another?
Will my Lofty Rab make
All universe['s humans] read our Koran?"

Meryem and Fatima said,
"Let the pleadings be in your tongue, [keep on praying]
Let His hikmets stay in your mind,
Let the causes that are good deed come to you,
Let The One Who writes the decree erase the troubles [worries]."

We greeted each one of them,
We stayed in salvation,
We found remedy for our troubles.
Let us say, "Let selam [peace/greeting] be,"
Let us wrap all universe up in our love .

Let selam 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.
