TRANSLATION OF THE CHAT/MESSAGE RECEIVED BY GARIB ON 22 JANUARY 2009

[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

I saw footprint on the path of sand,
I promised the saints:
We will walk around everywhere.
We entered the vineyard,
We will plow its soil,
Vineyards will give sprout,
Leaves will wrap the branches,
Onto my work
My Rab will shower blessing.

To chat with Mevlana,
To share with Yunus Emre,
All universe loves
Praises with love.

Yunus Emre said,
Before His creation
Mountains, stones prostrate themselves,
Find Him in His creation.
The one who knows, the one who does not know
Fights [against his/her ego] for his/her Rab,
Educates his/her ego,
He/she grinds the negativities,
[then] He/she is appointed to the post of humanity.

Yahya Efendi said,
My Rab Who watches after His creation says,
"Keep the promise that you made/make to Him!"
There is one “hikmet” [hikmet=1. wisdom. 2. philosophy. 3. real meaning, hidden meaning. 4. purpose, point. 5. the unknowable intentions of God.]
Of each creation.

I asked Hazrat Ali,
Which one is beautiful:
To know?
To find?
Not to know?
Not to find?
Hazrat Ali said,
My Rab presents His Giving to His human.
You are obliged to know Him, to find [Him];
You are obliged to share What you find.
You are obliged to be filled with love,
[you are obliged] To spread your love.
[The above and below 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. Everything that is visible to human eye, including human body, is indeed HIS LIGHT in the form of matter, in other words, is HIM. Human learns The Reality at the time of migration to after earth life. However, the most preferred for human is to know The Reality on earth, while still in body. When human comprehends that matter is in fact made of particles that belong to Allah, he/she should love not only all humans but also each one of His creations; humans who perceive The Reality are expected to share The Meaning...]

I said,
I greeted every beautiful one that I saw.
He said,
You will see each existing one as beautiful.
Each one who/that is created
You will praise [him/her/it] because of The One Who makes exist.
You will spread your knowledge, your love
As much as you can spread.
Because heart
Takes as much love as you give,
Does not say, “I have no space.”
Love grows as much as it is shared,
Makes you grow too.
Hate makes its owner smaller.
Let my Allah make our love be abundant,
Let Him protect all of us from hate.
Amen.

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.
