VOLUME 2
Part 26

14 December 1973

I am Mevlana.
If you pass over the path that is soft,
If you say, “Does footprint stay? Let it give path to the one who comes,” [if you say, "let me leave footprints so that the one who comes after me finds the path easily"]
Do not forget that the one who comes, [is] on the same path [too].
Footprint is covered, path is gone on [one goes on the path], word is said,
Chat opens to the one who wishes. [the one who wishes understands our chats]
The moment in which you say, “I loved,”
One conforms to the one who is loved.
All of you are greeted.

My word is to the ones who say, “I am among the ones who love Mevlana.”
If you are among the ones who love Mevlana,
Then love the one whom/that he loves, that is enough.
Who/What is the one whom/that Mevlana loves?
It is the sand that is in desert,
The fish that is in lake,
The fiber that is in bulrush,
The dry leaf that is on branch,
The cracked soil that is on ground,
The wretched traveler who is on path,
The litter that is in torrent,
The hard rock that is on mountain.
As long as you lean your back on The Creator,
Let the one whom/that you love, be the one whom/that I love,
Let the one whom/that you know, be the one whom/that I see.
Let your heart be untiable knot with all [humans]. [let your heart constitute with all humans a knot that can not be untied]
Let you find beyond life, in Darling.
Let you know beyond me, in HAK.
If I gave, I gave the one that came/comes from HIM,
I said the one that was wished to HIM;
I have never put [even] a dot from me.

Oath was said, it was passed over,
It was repaired with The One That lies in heart.

If we are far from blood, let us know from life, [if there is no blood tie, let us know ONEness of life]
If we are far from life, let us say from HAK.
Let us put dot to what HAK gave/gives,
Let us know that even dot belongs to HIM.

Do not say [bad] word about the bridge that is crossed over.
If it lets you pass, there is also work of your [own] step.
If you say, “How about if it collapses, if it falls apart?”
Then you deny the step that you take.
My word is for all [humans], not for the congregation [only].

How do you know the beautiful one, what do you describe [it/him/her] with?
With its/his/her form? With its/his/her color? With its/his/her smell?
There is no description of the beautiful one because vision does not stay within line. [vision==to see HIM in HIS creations]
The moment in which you describe, then you draw line.
My Yunus says:
The one who can see the entire beauty
Is the one who can spread the body to the universe.
The one who can not mature [spiritually] in sound, in word, in line
Is because he/she puts the beauty in the frame.
Why does the mirror not make what it takes, fixed?
Because it takes into itself every one that comes.

Write with the writing, solve with HIS word, play with HIS saz. [saz=a stringed instrument (which somewhat resembles a lute)]
WHAT you will take as well as WHAT you will find is HIM only.

Your heart path wants door, your hal of earth wants intention.
[when one sets up the intention [to reach HIM] then]
One passes from intention to pleading.
At the place where there is pleading, human chooses HAK.

Eat as much as you can, say as much as you can.
However,
Neither let the one that you eat be load for your body,
Nor let the one that you say be [load] for your heart.

It is known
That the one who matures [spiritually] conforms to what will happen,
That he/she hears HIS each human in the name of HAK.
Neither is what happens from you
Nor is what is being said from me:
HE wrote, I said, you saw.

Do you know what the most beautiful one of greeting is?
“I loved the one whom you loved,
I conformed to HIS path because it is to HIM.
I saw HIM in you.
When life is said, I found Darling in you."

Body structure finds in body, knows the body as the building;
In nacre, it conforms to color,
In tree, it looks at form,
On sand, it looks over the heart.
When hearts fuse with one another, one takes [the greeting], gives the greeting.
“How about if hearts do not fuse with one another?” you say.
If you know that HIS human is from HIM,
You do not say, “The one that does not fuse [with one another],”
You conform to him/her.
Do not say, “If he/she does not conform to me?” so that
Your intention is not divided into two,
So that it does not separate your heart [into two] as “the one who conforms,” [and] “the one who does not conform.”
Let one seek in each one who does not conform, the direction that conforms.

“Ya Yunus,” I said.
We did not advance into the ocean with [a] raft,
We did not become wheat and we were not spread to ground.
We were not bridge on earth, we were not crossed.
We said, “Allah,” we fell in HIS deep love.
We dug our deep love like the ember in brazier.
Nevertheless, we arrived [in HIM], we said, “Allah,”
We came back, we fell in human heart like in the example of blessing.

What you did not eat, does not say word about what you ate/eat;
What you ate, does not glance at the one that you did not eat. [be content with your God-given share...]

Soil does not turn green if there is no water. [analogy with human's spiritual water: human does not mature spiritually if he/she does not drink spiritual water...]

He said, “Ya Mevlana,” Yunus took word.

If you look for heart in the one who takes step in desert,
In the one who sells his/her honey at the market place,
If you put on the scale, its value is priceless.
One does not attempt to bargain with the heart.
One does not look at human’s body appearance
And [does not] measure his/her heart.
Honey and vinegar are not mixed of course.
Body is passed saying, "Jug [of spiritual water]," it opens to The Meaning.
If you say, “Bad,” about the vinegar
Then why do you sour the grape?
What you find in vinegar, is of course not the one when you mix with honey. [the merit of vinegar is different than when you mix it with honey]
However, what you will take when it matures,
May even be more necessary than the honey.
Vinegar: the first steps of “The [spiritual] Meaning state [situation].”
At its appropriate time, it becomes sour;
At its appropriate time, one roars.
[however,] Day comes, [when vinegar becomes wine] it knows to lie down in heart,
[it knows] To make the heart whirl with deep love.
It does not turn into wine before being vinegar.
It does not make human drunk before being wine.
Come on, say, "Eyvallah," for vinegar too so that
When its day comes, it burns your heart.

We said, “Ya Allah,” we entered the word with honey.
The one who takes the honey knows [it], not the one that gives [it].
It is daily food of the one that gives.
Its value is not in it;
It collects, it collects, it presents to the one who wishes.
It knows that he/she will take, it still gives [it] again.
[there are humans like bee:]
It is [similar to] the human who conforms to every hal.

Path does not open if it is said, “If it does not happen?”
Because doubt and peace do not walk around together.

Be entrusted to my Allah.
Goodbye.
Lailaheillallah Muhammedur Resulullah. [Allah is The only One to be worshiped, and Mohammad is HIS Representative.]

21 December 1973

I am Mevlana.
We said, “Good deed,” we saw [good deed] in every hal.
Let greeting be to all of you, let each one who comes, take.
Let each one who takes, find.
Let him/her not fall in questioning about The One Who writes.
The One Who writes, knows and writes, sees and writes.

Search your shadow not beyond HIS path,
But at the step that you take.
In your shadow, conform to the rotation of the day,
To conform is beautiful.
[Previous verses may be better understood under the light of the following information: according to the teachings of ONEness of HEARTs, IN REALITY there is no shadow, shadow is only in the image, i.e. in the matter environment. HIS path leads to THE REALITY, where there is no shadow. On earth seek your own shadow, be under the sun, i.e. follow the footprints of Prophet Mohammad. Know that all events are created by HIM, conform to them without any complaint...] [sun==Prophet Mohammad]

Do not say, “The one that I saw on the ground,” it is dry autumn leaf;
The [new] one [leaf] that comes, even though it is not from you,
Know that it is from HIM.

Even if he/she does not laugh [smile] at your face,
It is because he/she put worry in the heart.

What is searched in vision? [vision==to see HIM in HIS creations]
Is it only the brightness of the day?
On [during] the day you search your shadow on the ground,
At night you respect the stars in the sky. [star==saint]
If it is like that, you conform to every hal saying, “From HIM.”

If you say, “Is my destiny from HIM, [or] from me?”
The building that is set up is from HIM.
You, furnish the interior of the building as you wish!
Organize in the way that you wish!
My being belongs to HIM, your narrowness belongs to you.
If you say, “Narrowness in the being?” then change your organization:
Do not block the front of the window with cupboard.

Can the one who takes the jug in hand say,
“I will fill together with the one who came by the water”? [can he/she say, "I will go by the water and fill with the one who has already been there"?]
[no, he/she can not say so because]

If he/she breaks the jug, what he/she will take is as much as his/her [hand] palm.
When we say, “Ya Allah,”
It means, “Eyvallah for what YOU made [my] God-given share.”

Do you enter the ocean with shoe?
Do you walk barefoot on thorny path?
Do you ever see the surrounding?
If you say, “Why does HE throw me to thorny path?”
It is because you are in doubt about the arrival,
Because you forget to see The Beautiful One.
HE reminds you of The Beautiful One.
When you get out of the thorny path,
Whatever is on your path, do you say, “Ugly”?
Therefore, even thorn is helper to you.
Come on, love it so that your hands are open [you pray] to HAK in every moment.

The one who knows to stop, is the one who is tired.
If it is like that, let one go not to stop, but step by step.

If you walk around the surrounding,
If you have heart-to-heart talk with each one whom/that you see,
What is the one that you will see?
Hikmet of the coming [to earth], help of the path-fellow.

If there is no pride in your attitude, then your event does not tire [you].

If you mix the [spiritually] mature one with the [spiritually] immature one,
Then you become as sacrificing the mature one.
If you say, “How?”
The immature one does not get free of the state of the mature one. [he/she would continue to act as if he/she was a mature one…]
Each [such] being that is mixed, is not favored. [each immature one who acts as if he/she were spiritually mature, is not favored [by God]]
There is no mistake in the word.

The fish that is in the ocean, how big it may be,
Once it gets out of the ocean, it comes to you, not to itself;
Because it is the property of the ocean.

What is the one that is seen on the path of the ship, in the hal of the dolphin?
Pleading, of course.
“Beautiful” is the beautiful one of the intention, not of the interrogation.
However,
Let your pleadings be to arrive [in HIM], to know HIM only;
Otherwise, it [the dolphin] takes you to where you go.
What is seen in the hal of dolphin and ship,
Is the one that is given by HALIK.
I said before, that HE makes the one who lost HIS path, find.
If human does not see, if he/she does not conform to the line [of destiny, i.e. to events],
Then the dolphin leads the way, makes [him/her] find HIS path.
If you say, “How does the dolphin know?”
That is also from the hikmet of HAK.
For that [reason],
Submit yourself to HAK with absolutely no doubt.
[then, in order to help you]
Star comes at night, dolphin [comes] in ocean, waterless [comes] in desert, [star==saint]
Makes you find HIS path.
“Who is waterless?” is said.
Omar says:
Ask about the water to the one who is waterless, so that he digs well for you;
Wish to him for path so that he leads you.
Do not look for footprint on the sand because it is covered.
Do not hit your knee on the mountain, it hurts.
Do not fall in interrogation about the one that goes and the one that comes, [do not question past and future events]
[if you do, then]
HE gives knot to your wool ball. [wool ball==lifetime on earth]

My Yunus wished for word.
One does not say,
“Let us be one with the ones who come, let us see the one who reserves the place,”
Because we are all one.
We ignited the fire, we found the sibling.
We sought in hal, we tied with heart.
We knew that The Reality is the return.
If you say, “Is there any one that is lie?”
Only the coming [to earth] and the return [to after earth life] are real.
If I became Yunus,
It is because I had my coming, my return. [? Because my coming became my return. ?]

In the one who will mature [spiritually], moth does not orbit;
When he/she matures, it orbits. [moth=flying bug that is attracted to light and orbits the light]
Moth fades out with each one who matures. [because he/she joins HIM]

If there is water on the roof, [if] it leaks into the room;
Does the water that leaks from the roof please human?
Then, even water is needed at its [appropriate] place.

Let us say, “Eyvallah,”
Let all [humans] and we hug one another.
We took the word from Yunus,
We said goodbye.

Lailaheillallah Muhammedur Resulullah. [Allah is The only One to be worshiped, and Mohammad is HIS Representative.]

25 December 1973

I am Mevlana.
We saw the most beautiful temperament in the one who conforms.
We laid in hearts the most beautiful one of the flowers.
We gave you writings [chats] in the name of HAK.
When 'my Allah' is said, the one that is taken stays in the bodily constitution of the one who takes,
The one who gives, comes to his/her help. [? The One Who gives, comes to his/her help. ?]

In the foundation of the nest, there is “peace to the nest.” [nest==Mevlana's/Garib's congregation]
[? In the foundation of the home: one takes peace to the home. ?]

Hope is for the going of the path;
The going happens as you hope.
Each one who wishes, finds his/her helper.
Even if you go on foot,
If you know walking, [if you know HIS] path,
The going of the path comes as easy.
However, let you have no worry about the shadow.
The one who takes [HIS] path, does not turn back.
If fire got flame, it does not go out. [if heart got ignited, it is not extinguished]

Sharia is school, you learn as much as you read; [sharia=Islamic law as derived from the Koran and the traditions of Islam]
You train the body, you grind your heart.
However, deep love [for HIM] fits neither into the universe nor into the sharia.

[in order to understand our chats]
The key is the heart of each human.
Open [your heart] door to The Meaning so that
It fills your heart, so that solution is obtained as wished.
Because solution of the writings [chats] changes from day to day,
It changes with every one that opens. [it changes with every new chat]
[similar to how]
The description of the tree is from the side that you see.
The one that you can not solve, [it] is because its day has not come.

Each one who leaves the earth does not come to earth on duty.
Saints being helper to earth,
Is not with their services on earth [only];
It is necessary that they serve the ones who come from earth too.
The duty of the one who comes [to earth], is to earth;
The duty of the one who does not come [to earth], is to the ones who come from earth. [i.e. to humans who pass away, to humans who continue their spiritual educations on other planets in the universe...]

I am Yunus.
Our wish is to be one with all of you in the nest in every moment.
Wish is seen on soft path,
However, the writing is in the hand of The One Who writes.

Goodbye.
Lailaheillallah Muhammedur Resulullah. [Allah is The only One to be worshiped, and Mohammad is HIS Representative.]

1 January 1974

I am Mevlana.
The good news
That will be taken from Yunus and that will be given to all [humans],
That the bud of roses will be seen in hearts
Is given to our nest. [nest==Mevlana's/Garib's congregation]
Let it not be said, “What is it?”
Let one not fall in question.
Let it be taken as it is said, let hearts be pleased.
Let my Allah come as willing, let your path arrive at brightness.

We walked on sand, we said, "Footprint," we searched.
We saw the face in HIS LIGHT.
Be owner of the days that come without smoke,
Find “coming into being.” [? Find [spiritual] maturation. ?]

Take from me three keys for the day that comes:

[1] At each door that you will open, stop for a moment.
Whatever you will see at the door that you will open
Is from HIM.

[2] Whoever is the one who comes to my path as helper
Is from me.

[3] The One Who lays the foundation of my nest: [nest=home; home==Mevlana's/Garib's congregation]
Whoever says what, is HAK only.
The one who sits on his throne is of course shah,
However, think of The One Who makes him sit.

What I took, what I will take is from HIM.
The One Whom I know, The One Whom I will find is HIM.
WHAT I see, WHAT I will put in my heart is to HIM.
Let us say, “Eyvallah.”
Let us say, “It is for good deed,” let us open day’s door like that.

The one who comes next to us, the one who asks about HIS path,
Let him/her have no worry about HIS path.

If the architect falls in interpretation in [about] the foundation of the building,
He/she encounters difficulty in the completion of the building.
However, there is no interpretation of the taking, of the giving.
Matter opens The Meaning;
If you fall in doubt in matter, [then] The Meaning runs away from you.
Let us say, “Soft is our path,”
Let us know that HAK is in our heart,
Let us stay away from interpretation.
Each event is as it is written.
When, “Our path is HAK, my pir is pure” is said,
Why is the smoke?

 Goodbye.
Lailaheillallah Muhammedur Resulullah. [Allah is The only One to be worshiped, and Mohammad is HIS Representative.]

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

LOVE, SEE & SHARE:

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