ONEness of HEARTs
VOLUME 2
Part 48

10 October 1975

I am Mevlana.
We looked at the new one,  at the old one, saying, “HAK.”
We saw inclination in each heart as much as it takes.
We are not from the ones who measure what flows, what one looks at. [we do not judge humans]
We have not been from the ones who interpret badly the one that happens.
We did never give the one that was not written.
We did not set up “the congregation to unite in one” [our congregation] at the place that we wished,
We found at the place where it [the destiny] is written;
On earth where we found, we matured [spiritually].
To the one who was maturing [spiritually], we gave our hand [to help him/her],
To the one who held [our hand], we said, " Eyvallah."
“How about the one who did/does not hold?” is being said.
Let it not be forgotten: what is written is eaten. [one eats[/experiences] only what Allah writes as his/her destiny]

If you try the hard one, you conform to the one who consults.
If you conform to The One Who is consulted, you turn to right [correct]. [consult directly with HIM, not with the one who says that he/she consulted with HIM]

It is seen that the one who is soft
Takes his/her place from the new one. [the new one==ONEness of HEARTs’ teachings]

At each curve, new hope is searched.

Even though it is said, “The one who takes sip by sip comes late to the conclusion,”
The arrival is not temporary.
“What does it mean?” is said.
What is the gain of the one who says, “Let me arrive quickly”?
Path [is] yours,
Direction [is] mine,
End [is] all humans’,
He said, my Yunus entered the word. [my Yunus joined the chat]
At the place where there is intention, end is not valid.
Why?
Because the one that is written does not conform to one's intention,
That is why.
At the end, each human takes God-given share from the water,
However, his/her intention stays in the garden.
For that [reason], the end that is in intention is not valid.

“Let herd be the one that I drive,
As long as it takes me as leader,” is being said. [I want to be leader at whatever cost, even if what I lead is just a herd]
Let it not be forgotten:
Whatever is the herd, you are accounted for its responsibility.
Can you take such [a] load?
Can you put [it] on your back?
With tongue, every human says, “[yes] I [can] take [that load].”
When it does not conform [to his/her intention], he/she submits to Allah.
Human is such that:
Let him/her submit what he/she takes, what he/she is,
To my Allah.
Let him/her say, “Let the one who can take its [herd's] load [on his/her back] come
As leader of the herd.”
“Why did you give the herd,
Why did you take human as example?” is being said.
I gave before,
I said to the one who says,
“Whatever happens,
Let leadership be given to me too.”

Become [a] united whole with the one that is given
By the one that [? who ?] rises from HIS root,
By the one who leans on Its trunk;
Surround him/her like in the example of [love-]crazy.
Choose for yourself not the desire of giving but [the desire of] taking;
If giving is desired, spread the one that is given.

“Ya My Representative! It is your duty to spread what [Koran] is given, [ya=O ...!/Oh ...! (used to show strong emotion, especially exasperation): Ya Rabbi! O Lord!]
To make [spreading] easy, [is] from US,” was said.
It was given to HIS Representative like that.
The one [ONEness of HEARTs] that is given on the [current] day
Is the one that spreads from human to human,
[it] Is of course the one that is being taken from the root of the tree.

"Two branches," are said, its interpretation is searched. [branch==saint]
My Yunus says:
Branch does not crush branch.
The saint does not go around alone,
[he/she] Does not erase his/her shadow,
[he/she] Does not divide all [humans]. [does not discriminate among humans]
He/she does never stay alone.
He/she does not take the heavy word. [he/she does not break heart]
Whatever happens, he/she never wilts. [he/she is always [goodly] remembered]
What he/she takes, what he/she gives is from HIM only.
The One Whom he/she consults with, is HIM.

He gets used not to be defeated but to be tried.
To be defeated is not unique to major battles;
Battle of idea[s] depends on human’s talent too.
Let my Allah make HIS blessing rain upon
All humans who are written about,
Who[se pictures] are drawn, who are remembered during the chat.
“Let my Allah make the place of the one
Who comes, who gives his drawing
Be God-given share of all of you,” is said. [I wish that all humans are granted a spiritual degree similar to Hamza's...]
(drawing of close friend Hamza is received)
His identity is asked.
Not on [one] day [only]
[but throughout his life]
He was without fault in serving HIS Representative,
He gave his heart to him as he [Prophet Mohammad] was.
Let us say his name, let us read as Hamza.
He came [to earth as] young, he matured [spiritually while he was] young, he migrated [to after earth life while he was] young.
His service belonged to HIS Representative’s youth. [he served Prophet Mohammad while Prophet Mohammad was young]
“How?” is being said.
My Yunus says:
To know the one who matures [spiritually] is God-given share of each person.
To conform before one matures [spiritually] is God-given share of the brave person [only].
'To conform before one matures': in the sense that human knows. [there is no need for any explanation, it is in the sense that you understand]
How does one know that he/she matures [spiritually]?
Because he/she is heard about, because his/her 'keramet' is seen. [keramet=1. miracle worked by God through a person. 2. the God-given power of working miracles.]
Hamza conformed
Before HIS Representative was heard about.
He conformed to his camel, [he conformed to Prophet Mohammad's camel, he went with Prophet Mohammad, he accompanied him]
He handled his load, [he helped him with his load]
He was his helper when he [Prophet Mohammad] was not known. [? He was his helper, [yet] he is not known [that he was Prophet Mohammad's helper]. ?]

When you run into difficulty, remember Hamza.
He was from the ones who perceived HIM [? him [Prophet Mohammad] ?].
However,
He saw, he knew, he conformed
Because of what he knew himself only.
He waited [he served] without sleeping.

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

17 October 1975

I am Mevlana.
We are together
With the ones who are faithful,
With the ones who find the [HIS] path,
With the ones who know all [humans as One].
Our path is the one that is written [by The Creator],
Our word is the one that is given.

It was asked before:
“Is the intention valid in two worlds?” is said. [is the intention valid on earth and in after earth life?]
Intention
Is [a] hal of earth,
[it] Is human’s brain. [it is related to human’s brain]
When brain goes to ground,
When soil covers it,
What [purpose] does the intention serve under the soil?

“Is it true that human stays in the ground,
That the spirit seeks HIS path?” is being said.
When spirit leaves the body,
It perceives The Reality.
“Is there perception in the one that has no brain?” is said.
Perception is not in brain but in spirit.
Brain’s perception is what the spirit gives.

“Does the one who does not take from our chat
Run to waste?”  is said.
What the smoke gives, is seen there:
The one who does not conform to the giving of his/her day
Is the one who does not know the bright day;
The one who stays in the dark is of course the one
Who searches the brightness.
We came to the new one, [the new one==teachings of ONEness of HEARTs]
We opened [new] page to the [current] day.
We gave, we saw, we returned with greeting.

Be entrusted to my Allah.

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

24 October 1975

I am Mevlana.
He/she does not come because of the spare,
He/she does not laugh before loving,
Each one who takes, does not stay [behind on HIS path],
We said, we greeted all [humans].

“He/she does not come from spare,” we said.
What is “spare”?
He/she is the one who says, "Let me give help, let me come hand in hand."
However,
One walks hand in hand on the path only.
When going [from earth to after earth life], each human is single.
[when] Hand [is] in hand, purple does not stay in lake; [purple==human who matures spiritually; lake==religious teachings/beliefs that do not lead to ocean [ocean==God]]
If rose opens, it does not wilt.

No fault is seen in the existence;
Fault is in interpretation only.
If “what is body fault then?” is said, [how about humans who have defective bodies?]
“It is equal to beauty,” I say.
Say to the one who says, “It can not be”:
You are the one who see fault in the body;
Let you see the wise one that is in the heart,
Let you spread the flower in your garden,
Let you give The Beauty to the one who sees.

WHO performs the interrogation of the one
Who undertakes the interpretation of the day?
The reality is built like in the example of wall.
He/she hid [what he/she wants to conceal] from the eye of passerby,
However, The Creator is forgotten. [nothing can be hidden from HIM]

Take your water from the one that flows, [flowing water flows to ocean] [ocean==God; stagnant water/lake==spiritual beliefs that do not lead to God]
Give your heart to The One Who looks after, [fall in love with The One Who looks after]
He said, my Yunus entered the word. [my Yunus joined the chat]
Let
The olive be on the branch,
The rose [be] in human,
The heart [be] in The Beautiful One.
Let the events be left to HAK. [HAK is responsible for events]

Let the sun illuminate the one that the window covers. [sun==Prophet Mohammad]
From assembly, we will go to LIFE,
In all [humans], we will find HIM,
We will fall in our deep love.

Of course we will take wish;
“He would not come,” they said,
“Yunus would not give,” they said,
Behind the curtain, they said and they said.
If the one who said knew,
If he/she found our Darling,
If he/she entered hearts [then he/she would not talk about Yunus...].
How about if he/she does not enter [hearts]?
Our heart will still stay in HIM.

He/she will be loved even if he/she does not love,
He/she will be given even if he/she does not see;
He/she will be gathered as much as he/she takes,
He/she will be revived only like that.
What is meant by “being revived” is “he/she will wake up.”


If 'the vision,' 'to know' conformed to 'the entry to interpretation,” [if The Reality was easy to perceive]
'To know The One Who is known' would not stay until the end. [then to know Darling would take place on earth before the migration time]

Each one who comes to earth, [each one] who makes known his/her name [on earth]
Is only recognized until his/her migration [time].
After his/her migration, he/she is remembered with his/her name.
Our event is that.

If you open the curtain partly,
If you see The Reality,
You would not separate the new one from me. [the new one==ONEness of HEARTs’ teachings]
“What is 'the new one'?” is said.
Our coming,
Our giving,
Our introduction to the writing.
The writing is the one that is given,
It is the one that is called sprout.

Mountain pass is crossed.
WHO is The One Who makes [one] cross?
Who crosses?
The one who crosses: the one who sets up the intention.
The One Who makes [him/her] cross: The One Who writes the writing.

Let us not fold the page,
Before its day comes;
Let us not say “Why?”,
Before my Allah gives.
The One Who gives is HIM,
The One Who sees is HIM,
The One Who unties [the knots/solves the problems] is HIM.

If you know the day that comes,
Will you build wall to your destiny?
Or will you clean the stone that is on your path?
Whether you know or not,
You will pass through that path.

At the place where water flows, every path opens [leads] to HAK.
[however,] You do not love the one that is torrent,
You do not praise the one that is wind.
Do not forget
That torrent makes [one] cross,
That wind takes [one with itself].
Where to?
[it brings] Each one that it takes to its range. [analogy with humans: wind/torrent carries each one that it takes according to his/her range / events grind humans to make them spiritually mature...]

Your [spiritual] maturation is beautiful, as you mature [spiritually];
Your coming [to earth] is beautiful as it stays [without wasting HIS Light];
Your vision is beautiful as it conforms [to events], [vision==to see HIM in HIS creations]
As it finds HAK in all [humans].

"Let us know your place, let us remember your name," is being said,
It is asked from Yunus.
Open your heart, he is there.
Choose the leaf, he is in it.
Remember his name, he is [there] in moment.
(Yunus Emre’s drawing is received)
Let each one who wishes, take,
Let him/her say, “My Yunus.” [? Let him/her say, “I am Yunus,” ?]
It is the hal that occurs
When one finds the maturation of not yesterday but of the [current] day,
When one knows him/herself.

Let us say goodbye,
Let us tie the word like that. [let us finish our chat like that]

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

31 October 1975

I am Mevlana.
The most beautiful one of the temper is the one that conforms to every event,
We said, we gave [this] before.
“The place of the one that does not conform?” is being said,
It is given to interrogation during the chat. [it is asked during the chat]
The one who does not conform looks at the day,
[yet he/she] Burns torch in heart. [instead of having sunlight in heart]
Let greeting be to all of you.
Let us say that path is convenient for the ones
Who come, who ask, who say, “Our path is to HIM,”
Who know themselves [to be] in The Beauty,
Who laugh at events like in the example of Yunus.

Branch [is] thin, it bends;
If it becomes arrow, it is thrown with bow.
[however, branch:] It shows its place when it is planted. [analogy with humans...]
What is the word of the one who sees, to the one who does not see? [what does the one who sees say to the one who does not see?]
Let your branch be at its [? your ?] [? HIS ?] place, [let] your leaf [be] at HIS summit.

Thin water’s flow
Is said to carry slowly;
What it throws is on the ground;
Where is the one that it holds [and carries]?
I do, of course, not say puzzle to the one who knows,
I do not say secretly to the one who sees:
The one who conforms to the flow of the water
Is the one who puts him/herself in the ocean. [ocean==God]

The generation is asked about:
The one who is remembered, is embraced. [among each generation of humans, the ones who are remembered goodly on earth are embraced in after earth life]
One is selected according to the admission of the sun[light]. [sun==Prophet Mohammad]
Open your heart door so that you can take the sun[light],
So that you can embrace what HE gives.

My Yunus says,
Do not keep away the new one [==ONEness of Hearts] from ground,
[do not keep away] The old one [==old spiritual beliefs] from apex. [tolerate if one criticizes the new one, and/or praises the old one]
Let the wisdom be in you,
Let the universe embrace all [humans].

The one who says, “My place!”:
Let what [the destiny that] HE draws be according to his/her wish.

Let me give
To the one who says,
“I took as much as I ate,
I kept my promise,”
[let me give] To the one who asks saying,
“Let me know the name of the one
Who comes to help me.”
He did not take from ground,
He did not ask question.
He came, he found, he saw, he matured [spiritually]. [vision==to see HIM in HIS creations]
He gave to be given,
He loved to die for:
MANSUR.

Question: Is he Hallaj Mansur?
Answer: Eyvallah.


There is no stagnant one of the flowing one [water];
There is no place to worry.

“What is given is door to the one that is taken,” we said.

Do not wait at narrow stop, you [may be] depress[ed].

Do not get in line to question [the events], you may be put to test [by The Creator].

You are loved as much as you love;
Love is attractive [love is like [magnetic] attraction]: it finds the one who loves.

Let one not say, “The one who searches without voice, stays without owner,”
The one who stays without Owner is not seen. [there is no one who is without Owner]
If one is without Owner, the universe is not built.

The one who says, “Give, let me take, let me present to the one who wishes,”
Should know his/her place:
He/she should love his/her surrounding more than him/herself.

My Yunus takes word, [my Yunus joins the chat]
His heart stays in you.
I came from soft path.
When I came, I saw the amazement.
To the one who said, “Where [are] you, whom [am] I in?”
“In moment, in HIM,” I said.

Pen is ready to write, soil [is ready] to be dug.

There is no place for spare [there is no need for spare because when one gives what God gives, God gives more…]
At the place where the water flows [to ocean]. [ocean==God]

One says, “Are you not from the ones who get tired?”
‘The one who gets tired’ is word [an expression] of earth.

The one that is stretched [like a rubber band] is the writing that is written [i.e. our chats]:
Each one who holds, pulls
According to how it suits his/her heart,
According to how he/she looks at its [writing's] essence. [? According to how he/she looks at his/her [own] essence. ?]
Word is stretched, is stretched [even more],
When it is released, one comes to the same place.

Let us say, “Eyvallah,” to all of you,
Let us entrust you to my Allah.

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.
