ONEness of HEARTs
VOLUME 2
Part 37

26 July 1974

I am Mevlana.
The one who says, “Our day does not conform to our heart,”
If he/she knows that he/she is mistaken, then path becomes convenient.
We came to all of you with greeting.
We saw contentment in the ones who come.
In the ones
Who take step on HIS soft path,
Who taste the peace,
We observed his/her Light that reflects from his/her heart to his/her skin.
Let it not be said, “Who?” It is in all:
It is in the one who makes him/herself conform saying that his/her day is good deed.

If one becomes guest, if he/she comes to the nest, what will we say? [nest==Mevlana's/Garib's congregation]
Let my Allah give from what is in his/her heart,
Let him/her see the same love in all [humans].

In HIS Blessing, we did not search further, we knew as it is [? as HE is ?].
In [the case of] HIS hikmet, we did not ask; “As HE gives,” we said.
We gave the day’s event.
Eyvallah.

Where does one say "beautiful," where [does one say] "ugly"?
Beautiful is [said] at the place where it comes into being,
Ugly is [said] at the place where one finds [fault].
Architect draws [beautifully], [this is] beautiful;
Worker digs, that [is] beautiful too,
Sets up the home, that [is] beautiful too.
What is ugly?
The one who finds fault in the one that comes into being. [? The one who finds fault in The Existing One. ?]

My Yunus says, “Let me take word.”
He wishes for relief for the one who says, “Trouble.”
Let you sell your trouble;
If there is no one who buys, let you throw [it] away.
If you say, “I can neither throw [it away], nor sell [it],”
[then] Let you open your eye to the universe,
Let you seek and find your place.
There is the place of each human.
The one who seeks, finds,
The one who consults, walks.
Even if he/she does not consult, he/she still walks.
Yet, when he/she consults, he/she sees. [vision==to see HIM in HIS creations]

Is there any spare in deer? [is deer ever walked on leash [like a horse in spare]]
Is there any target when it is watched?
“What is spare in deer?” is said.
Deer is example of the one who knows his/her place.
There is no spare of the one who knows.
What is the target for the one who sees?
The frame that HE traces.
For vision however, there is no need for any frame.
Did we take the new one [the new one==ONEness of HEARTs' teachings], did we stay [away] from the old one?
For example, did we see?
Of course we saw, didn’t we? [and we were successful in seeing The Reality, we got our spiritual degrees...]
However [today], you are the ones who see, [today you are on earth, it is your turn to see The Reality [to see HIM in HIS creations]]
We are from the ones who know.

The one who is faithful is the one:
He/she knows the pack [like pack of cards] as one,
He/she counts [? respects ?] one by one,
He/she [then] wraps [packs] [? embraces ?] again.

The day’s event showed the surrounding of the hearts:
How did he/she separate you from the one who says, “Neighbor”? [how did he/she discriminate among his/her neighbors?]
[however,] The one who is mistaken is the one who separated saying, “Mohammad,”
Because neither Hazrat Isa [Jesus] nor Hazrat Musa [Moses] said, “Separate.”
The path that I know is this,
The human whom I see is this:
The path of Mohammad, his arm is in all humans.
Isa [Jesus], Musa [Moses] hand in hand, all [humans form] one circle.
Let the one who conforms, conform, let the one who comes, know.
Let Yunus’s word stay here,
He said, my Yunus walked.

"Close friendship," we said, we called on our earth day.
“Allah,” we said, we shouted as much as our voice [allowed].
We knew that each one that was flying was HIS,
We saw HIM in everyone who passed.

It is not return [to after earth life] but birth;
Birth is cognition.

Is life in you? Erase the skin.
Is life in skin? Be mirror, see yourself.
If you do not see, do not say, “I became blind.”
If you can not find in yourself, seek around you.

May be the custom[s] did not conform to one another;
Day comes he/she opens [new page], passes the [old] page,
Each human chooses his/her day.
...
...
Osman says:
When he/she takes the weapon in hand, do not leave the shield, do not throw the helmet.
Say to the one who says, “Did you lean on your weapon?”
I came across his/her weapon,
I leaned my back on The Lofty One.
If you hit, it is from HIM,
The one that happens from HIM [the one that HE makes happen], is from the one that is written.

Ali says:
If  your hand is on your sword, let your heart be in your arm,
Let your [spiritual] maturity wrap [you/him/her], let the universe take from your hand.
If you say to the one who makes the ship move [who drives the ship], “Plead,”
“My Allah protect [us] from storm,” he/she says.
If you ask the one who plants the grapevine,
He/she wishes that its grapes are abundant.
Each one who wishes takes his/her own direction.

Omar [Umar] says:
For the one who opens the [record] notebook, [whose record notebook is opened because he/she does not conform to events/destiny writing]
For the one who runs away from the writing[==destiny, HIS writing],
One stone is enough:
He/she collapses on his/her knees.
Let us be the lifter of the one who falls down,
Let us know The One Who makes [him/her] fall.

Ebubekir [Abu-Bakr] says:
Wind is HIS,
Torrent is HIS,
The one who makes HIS path known is HIS.
You were not carried away by wind, by torrent.
Conform to the one who shows HIS path.
In narrowness, hear [feel] the worry of the one who is in narrowness;
Hear so that
When your narrowness is over,
You can give your hand to the one who is in narrowness,
So that you can erase in him/her the worry of narrowness.

Violence suits no one.
Arrogance [pride] never gives his/her place to HIS human. [human does not get his/her place [in after earth life] through arrogance]
Do not be mistaken:
If you say, “Is there not anyone who is arrogant?”
I said to HIS human.
Humanity is that you conform to what comes from HIM.
When you conform, where do you put the arrogance [pride]?

If you say, “Is there apparition of the birth?”
Of course.
The moment in which you erase, is your birth.

I am Mevlana.
It is not game, of course one got out of the game.
From the beginning, “HIS soft path,” is said.
Truth was sought at the summit, curtain was seen,
When smokes dispersed, one conformed to what was/is opened.

“Let me ride double horse, let me go far on my path,
Let me go, let me return quickly,” he said,
He looked for human with smoke in the smokeless sky.
“Let me look for, let me find, let me erase his/her smoke,
Let me divide his/her intention, let me make known that he/she comes from earth,”
He said, Gamsiz walked.

On that day he/she does not turn [to HIS path],
On this day he/she does not share.
If you load him/her on the mule, he/she does not come saying, "My path."
If you take him/her to the mountain, he/she does not look around [at the nice view],
He/she does not hold the leaf with hand.
[even] If you put the light shoe on his/her foot,
'I have no intention,' he/she says,
He/she does not go,
He said, Selami gave path. [it is thought that Hazrat Selami describes in the previous verses the attitude of a human who is not on HIS path...]

"Let me come, let me set the throne in hearts,"
He said, Mustafa came.
I knew my place;
Do not think that I found in bottle.
"The situation does not get worse,
Heads are not bent forward, [one does not submit oneself to human]
Eyebrows are not frown, [one does not get angry / one does not submit to ego]

…"
He said, Mustafa came.
The one who will be stopping, is not from us.
The one who will be erasing [matter], is not from the degenerate one[s];
He/she will be the one who laughs, not the one who runs away. [? The one who laughs will mature [spiritually], not the one who runs away. ?]
Let us say, “Eyvallah,” let us give the good news that we hope.
One boarded the ship, one came to shore.
All of them are wrapped [embraced], their “halvah” is mixed [prepared]. [halvah=a sweet prepared with sesame oil, various cereals, and syrup or honey]
He is named again,
“Your coming is first [time],” is said.
Coming occurs on each remembrance. [we come each time we are remembered]
We said that “coming into being of the birth”
Makes the one who knows to come to his/her senses, come together, [makes the ones who come to their senses, come together]
Forms the path of the one who knows,
Event is this.
I am Mustafa.
One does never take step toward the bridge that he/she can not cross
Because his/her helpers [his/her saint / saints] do not let.
Each Turk who takes step, says, "Salvation," he/she wishes for all humans.
The one who wishes, finds; the one that is written, comes.
Bigness is not in the one that is done, but in the one that is taken.
The one that is done, is the one that is written.
The one that is taken, is The One Whom one takes shelter in.
If you say, “What is the one that is taken?”
Step.
I am together with all of you.
For the question, “Yes, I am Mustafa.”
I came, let me give,
Let me see in all of you.
There, let me set up the congregation to unite in ONE.
The one who is knocked over, can not open,
He/she can not divide even if he/she wishes.
Of course HE does not favor [one human over another],
Yet, HE is next to the one who says, “Allah.”
If you say, “Is HE away from the one who does not say, 'Allah'?”
The one who says, "Allah," is with HIM,
The one who does not say[, "Allah,"] is with Whom?
Are the one who knows, and the one who does not know, one [the same]?
Ismet Pasha is next to me too.
I walked [on HIS path] with the dust of my foot,
With the degenerate one[s] of HIS human[s],
I gave my hand to the one who said, “Allah,”
He said, Mustafa walked.


We gave [explained] the birth,
All of us, we mixed,
We put in a bowl,
We presented to the one who wishes.

We conformed to the one who was born,
“HIS rose,” we said.
We desired to take HIS [spiritual] water as much as hearts can take.
We made bundle saying, “My Allah,”
We are wrapped in HIS swaddle.
If you say, “What is HIS swaddle?”
The whole universe.
Within the swaddle: The Giving of HAK,
The Essence of the wrapping.
Let us find the universe in HIM,
When we open [our eyes, when we are born], let us see HIS Essence. [when we are born, i.e. when we migrate to after earth life, let us see HIS Essence]

Beautiful, the most beautiful, you [are] beautiful, I [am] beautiful,
However, he [is] the most beautiful:
One of both worlds, [both worlds==earth life and after earth life]
Pir of all [humans],
Darling of HAK.
Let his [Prophet Mohammad's] intercession be upon you,
Let Muslim and non-Muslim be wrapped in his [? HIS ?] swaddle.
Goodbye.
Lailaheillallah Muhammedur Resulullah. [Allah is The only One to be worshiped, and Mohammad is HIS Representative.]

9 August 1974

I am Mevlana.
In the air of our nest,
There is the remedy of hearts.
Let greeting be to all of you.
To the one who says, “My homeland,”
Let the universe open HIS path.

When pen is in hand, when pleading is in tongue,
When all [humans] are in heart,
One does not seek remedy for trouble
Because what happens is not called as trouble.

The water that comes [down] as rain
Lands everywhere the same.
However,
It moves according to the structure of where it lands:
In lake, it becomes water.
In swamp, it gets muddy.
Therefore, it is necessary to seek the fault
Not in the one that comes,
But in the one that is already there.
If you say, “Is it because of earth?” it is affirmative.
If you stay away from the swamp,
Then you protect the body.
If you say, “What do we dry [it] with?”
Obviously not with shade. [sun==Prophet Mohammad]

Islam is that:
One does not chase the one who runs away;
One does never hit from behind;
One does not lift his/her hand against the one who begs for mercy;
One does not refuse the one who comes to his/her door.
What is meant by “the one who comes to his/her door,”
Is not the one who says, “Let me take your place,”
But the one who waits for his/her help.

Hazrat Omar says:
Take a glance at the action of the one who says, “I conformed,”
Not at his/her word.
If you say, “He/she did not conform,”
Explain the appropriate one.
If he/she still does not conform, put your hand on the sword [then grab your sword];
Say, “Ya Allah,” hold your hand out.
If it [the sword] comes across, it is the hand of HAK, [if the sword touches him/her, than it is considered as the hand of HAK]
If you say, “It did not come across," you lower your hand, [otherwise, you do not insist]
You say, “Justice [is] in the middle.” [then you do not make any decision about the justice]
Because The One Who will decide is HIM.
The One Who will take what HE gave is HIM.
The One Who will make one conform to the order is HIM too.
The One Who will make the one who does not know, know is HIM too.

Even if I have thousand enemies,
If I lean my back on my Allah,
One can not even take any of my tiny junk.

Beauty is
In the one who teaches,
In the one who learns beautifully.
If the one who learns does not come, we go,
“Let us teach the correct one,” we say.
We laugh, if he/she does not know that we laugh, we beat.
However, even our beating is with rose branch.
If its thorn pierces, it is toward the path of the rose.
If we wished to give,
We take the rose together with its branch,
"Its thorn is from HAK," we say.

The one whom you say about, “He/she does not mature [spiritually],”
Day will come, he/she will mature;
What he/she spoiled without knowing,
He/she will correct knowingly.
If you say, “What is [spoiled] ‘without knowing’?”
The religious denomination that he/she protects.
If he/she knew that
The Protector is only The Lofty One.

The one who swears, swears to whom?
To HIS human or to HIS path?
In reality, there is swearing neither to HIS human nor to HIS path
Because swearing puts human into frame.
[however,] There is no frame in the existence.
Is each creation the same? Of course not.
Wideness is far more closer than the one that is asked.
Do not be mistaken: I did not say, "The ground," I did not give that.
Wideness of love, wideness of respect, wideness of society.
Love is like [a] microbial illness that spreads;
It always infects its surrounding.
Since it has no medicine, it widens from day to day.
Distribute your love
At every place that you go, that you live.
You will see that how much farther you send,
That much sooner connection is set up.
The one that is real is only love.
For that [reason], it spreads quickly.
There is never anyone who denies.
If you say, “Is there not anyone who does not love?”
Of course not.
There is the one who does not know to love
And to show to the one who does not know
Is the duty of the one who knows.
If you say, “How?”
When he/she throws you stone, you will caress his/her back;
Let you put the stone on the ground, the [his/her] head on the [your] chest.
The one who seeks,
He/she seeks love, he/she asks for the one who gives love.
If you say, “I love,” he/she looks at your hal.
Let us love with hal, with tongue, with heart.
Let us give our love to each one who comes.
Let us distribute, let us distribute, let us keep the circle [all together hand in hand,] as one.
Let us lasso the one who is independent,
Let us pull the one who says, “I do not come,” like that.
Let us make [him/her] rejoice for his/her coming, let us not make [him/her] regret.

Our water is from HAK, our soil is from purity.
We are turned toward the sun, we are fish in the ocean. [sun==Prophet Mohammad; ocean==God]
We knew the earth, we erased the worry.
We turned the hearts out [to [spiritual] pastureland], we wished, we became shepherd of heart.
Let my Allah be pleased with all of you.

The service of the one who is not responsible for the events, is to HAK.
The one who does not rob the one who comes, the one who does not give suffering to HIS human
Is of course to[ward] correctness.
Do not say, “What is done to the one who went, why is it not done by us?” [what was done to the one who died, why do we not do the same to the one whom we captured?]
On the path of Islam, there is no “harming the one who/that is in one's hand.” [one does not harm the one who/that is at his/her mercy]

Be entrusted to my Allah,
Find in the writing, [find in our writings]
Be at ease.

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

15 August 1974

I am Mevlana.
We fell in love with HIS Blessing,
We spread the hearts to the universe.
We pleaded for all [humans]:
My Allah,
Let them find Your path,
Let them know Your Being,
Let them conform to what YOU give.
Amen.

Is hand beautiful or tongue?
Hand is beautiful when it holds [other humans’ hand],
Tongue [is beautiful] when it says [HIS word].

Is face beautiful or heart?
Face is beautiful when it laughs,
Heart [is beautiful] when it embraces.

Is path beautiful or foot?
Path is beautiful if [HIS path] is known, [path is beautiful if it is HIS path]
Foot [is beautiful] when it goes [on His path].

Is bright day equal to dark day?
Otherwise, is it [a] variety in the universe?
Bright day is for the one who laughs,
Dark day is for the one who cries [who sheds tears].
If you say, “How about illness, how about death?”
The event that you do not remember is of course away from you.

At the place where water flows, there is abundant mud.
For that [reason], do not be offended by the one who says [bad] word about flowing water.

Mirac's occurrence is the filling of the hearts, [Mirac= Prophet Muhammad's ascent to heaven [while he was on earth in body]]
Is the finding of the heart that matures [spiritually], its Owner.

Let us be among the ones who know to come to their senses.

Let us tie the word to the coming day,
Let us say, “Eyvallah,” on the [current] day.
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.
