ONEness of HEARTs
VOLUME 3
Part 13

14 August 1976

I am Mevlana.
We are at the place
Where green color spreads, [green==LIGHT color of Prophet Mohammad]
Where beautiful day is respected.
We are on the same path as the ones who come.
Let selam [peace/greeting] be to all of you,
Let peace come to your heart.

Let it be known
That sand is sifted,
That human is swaddled,
That helper comes to his/her place, to his/her path.

From the shore:
The one who searches from the shore
Does not ask from the mountain.
The one who comes from the mountain,
Does not take from the vineyard.

Say to the one who says,
“Let me [first] spin my wool,
Let me [first] separate my path”: [let me first take care of my earthly affairs]
If sheep gives your wool, [if Allah makes the sheep give the wool]
If HIS human sees the path,
[then] You spin, you separate.

The [current] day’s interpretation brings path to the new one: [the new one==ONEness of HEARTs’ teachings]
One takes his/her God-given share
Not from wind, from torrent
But from the sun. [sun==Prophet Mohammad]

Earth that you say about, “it spins,”
Seems to HIS soft human like in the example of game.

Do not worry about every event,
Your interpretation is irrelevant.
[this is] To [for] the one who takes smoke into his/her heart:
[even] Deer knows its [water’s] place,
Finds the shore of the water. [analogy with human and spiritual water]

Yahya Efendi says,
“What is waited from the path:
One finds as expected from one's pleading,
Wraps his/her heart in the new one.
One finds [his/her] place [in after earth life] from trial, [one takes his/her place in after earth life according to his/her test result on earth]
Takes [passes] his/her day like that.”

My Merkez says,
“Learn
Fruit from its ripe one,
[learn] To love from HIS spiritually mature.”
“How?” is said.
If you eat unripe fruit,
You can not take its taste.
[similarly,] In the love of HIS ignorant human,
You can not find what you seek.

Let the one that is scattered
Not give [any] worry.
Let one not say,
“How does it find order?” [how will the order be set up?]
Let one say, “Close friend,”
Let the ones who give hand, be known.

The one who disperses the smoke
Is the one who educates his/her heart.
The one who educates his/her heart
Is the one who drinks what he/she takes, sip by sip.

Let stove smoke,
Let degeneration end.
If you say,
“He/she is not from the ones who hear,”
Let his/her tied day pass.

(Picture is given: Nuh Aleyhisselam)

The one who took the chisel in his hand,
The one who put the wood in its shape, [the one who shaped the wood]
The one who gave up the sound, the word,
The one who conformed by hal,
The one who works to make happen the one that is said about,
“It does not happen,”
The one who shares what he does, with all [humans]:
Nuh [Noah] Aleyhisselam.
I took path, I came,
I greeted respectfully.
I interpreted the day’s event as good deed.
The one that is said about, “It does not happen,”
Will happen.

My Yunus says,
“Do not separate the bunch,
Do not think about the sick one.
It is blessing of my Allah,
It is the ‘himmet’ of HIS saint. [himmet= sincere effort to reach God]
Tree is not interrogated because of its giving.
Human does not request alimony
From the one whom he/she brags about.

Our place is from the ones that is known.
Our wish:
Let you find good deed,
Let you do good deed.”

Say to him/her:
The one who does not believe in the birth,
The one who does not bear the cloud
Can not find HIS Blessing.


Let you be entrusted to my Allah.

Say to the one who asks about the one who came to your place:
“Nuh [Noah] Aleyhisselam comes, gives his hand.”

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

27 August 1976
(First day of Ramadan)

I am Mevlana.
We came in moment,
We saw in HIM.
Our place [is] in hearts,
Our direction [is] to hearts.
The moment in which we are remembered,
Our path [is] on your path.
Let selam [peace/greeting] be,
Let HIS name be remembered in [by] all [humans].
The One Who is really remembered [? The one who is really remembered ?]
Is The One Who is heard through heart. [? Is the one who is heard through heart. ?]

We comforted, we longed for,
We came to the day that is said about,
“Sultan of the months
That is remembered,
That is searched.” [month of Ramadan starts…]

Let selam [peace/greeting] be.

Let my Allah be helper of the ones who say,
“Let my foot carry,
Let HIM purify my heart.”

"Come with the one who comes,
Tell with the one who says,”
He said, my Yunus entered the word. [he joined the chat]
If tree bends its branch,
If its leaf touches the ground,
Neither leaf nor ground complains.
If leaf falls on the ground,
If it covers the place where it falls,
Neither tree nor leaf complains.
At the most, human says, [if there is any complainer, it is human]
He/she says him/herself, he/she listens him/herself. [he/she says to him/herself, he/she listens to him/herself]

Yogurt [is] added one of the milk; [yogurt is milk that has additive]
Annoyer [is] thrown away one of human. [annoyer is human that one gets rid of]
Human should know human,
Human should find human.
He/she should know, he/she should find so that
He/she should love.
Salvation from the one who loves [is] to the one who loves;
Keramet that is in the one who loves [is] to the one who is loved. [keramet==1. miracle worked by God through a person. 2. the God-given power of working miracles.]

Did you say,
“WHAT is The One That I search?” [? "What is the one that I search?" ?]
Did you ask to yourself?

What is called “Enel HAK [=I am Allah]” is that:
Each creation [is] from HIM to HIM,
From moment to moment.

Sun of the bright day [sun==Prophet Mohammad]
Ignites fire in human.
Do not think
That sun burns differently,
That it looks at every human differently.

When we say,
“Take soft path,”
There is “that day.”
On “that day,” earth is narrow to [for] human.
What is “that day”?
The day
On which human knows him/herself,
On which The Lofty One erases with HIS pardon
Is “that day” for human.
Do not say,
“How do we know?
Where do we stand?”
Let us look at every day as “that day.”

In our heart, we did not give place to shadow,
We did not erase The Reality during our lifetime.

We gave before:
“You are from the humans who are chosen,” we said.
The One Who writes the destiny is HIM;
There no place for doubt.
If we know The Reality,
If we erase the judgment,
Let us be thankful to HIM for what HE gives.
There is no need for interpretation,
[because] We wrote openly,
Because we conformed to The One Who said, “Write!”
The post, at which we are,
Does not say, “He/she/it exists,” for the one that does not exist. [our position does not allow us to lie]
The one who is chosen is the one
Who is seen as worthy to [for] the duty.
Let one not say, “Who?”, let one not fall in separation.
Reasons: [are] not from us but from HIM.

Say,
“Let our good deed cover our sin,”
On each opening [new] day, plead like that. [every day plead like that]

Let the duty
That we give on [this] day,
That we consider as all yours’ [that we consider as the duty of all of you]
Not come as difficult.
However,
Let one work to be worthy
Of The One Who saw as worthy.
On the [current] day, liability of duty is given to all of you.

(Question: What is this duty?)

Of course it will be given [assigned].
If you worked half day for yourself,
You will work half day for all [humans].
If body does not give, [work] with tongue;
If tongue does not give, [work] with path;
If path does not give, [work] with hal.
You will see,
You will solve,
You will untie the knots.
We said not to one of you
But to all the ones
Who take the path of the nest, [nest==congregation of Mevlana/Garib; all humans who read and understand ONEness of HEARTs]
Who say, “Path [is to] my Allah.”

Wideness opens quicker than you hope for.

Deep love is that:
Let you say,
“We took,
We took, I will give, I will see,
I will be together.”
Let you find
Not by singularity
But by becoming one with many.
Let you love without separating;
Let you say,
“The one who loves does not separate [discriminate].”

Yes, until the [current] day, we gave to you,
After the day,
We will give together with you,
We will spread with words.
We gave before:
Love is contagious,
It spreads, it spreads;
Together we will do this.
To the one who does not love,
We will say, “Come even if you do not love.”
If we see one [who is] in narrowness, in difficulty,
We will show the wideness.
What is wideness?
You can of course save
Neither the one who is in narrowness
Nor the one who stays in difficulty.
[however,] You say
That each one that happens comes from HIM,
That HE will see.
You connect his/her path to HIM,
You can show the wideness like that.

The tree:
Sapling is planted,
Its water is poured to its root,
Its branch, its snag are seen,
Its fruit is waited [for] like that.
Our [spiritual] maturation on the [current] day is this. [your case today is similar/analogue to the tree’s]
You became sapling, you were planted,
You moved on the path to[ward becoming] fruit.
I can not say,
“You were shaken, you dropped.”
Each fruit that you will give
May become a sapling.

Every time your day opens,
Do not forget, plead:
“My Allah,
Let my good deed cover my sin.”

What is given is not temporary.

Meyhane is open to us, [meyhane=bar/restaurant like public place in 14th century where wine was served]
Sun [is] open, [it is sunny] [sun==Prophet Mohammad]
Path [is] open.
Say to the one who says, “Why?”:
I searched, I found,
I conformed to what I found,
“Thank YOU my Allah,” I said.
Say to the one who says, “Is it enough?”:
WHAT I found made [me] conform,
Took me to path of HAK,
Is it not enough?

Nevertheless, your load on the [current] day
Is heavier than the past.
[however,] My Allah does not load
On HIS human
[a] Load that he/she can not carry.
If HE loads,
HE does not leave [him/her] without helper.
Let us attempt without doubt,
Let us join the caravan of HAK.

“We came
From three paths,
From three hals.
We gave
The three paths,
The three hals.
My Allah, we connected with their hals,”
He said, Hazrat Hamza added his essence to the word.

To the one who says, “Mother-father,”
To the one who adds HAK love to his/her place,
[to the one who adds] HAK [love]  to his/her summit [? to his/her display ?],
[to the one who adds] HAK [love]  to his/her path,
My Allah gives the interpretation from itself.
Do not be mistaken.
When we say ‘HE gives the interpretation from itself’:
It means that WHAT is seen is solved.
It is said that
Without conforming to interpretation,
It [? IT ?] is seen openly,
It [? IT ?] is displayed openly.
'HE gives the interpretation from itself' is that.

We had said,
“The doors will open,”
We had given before.

You do not tie the ship to ship,
Yet you wave hand from ship to ship.
Let one be tied
Not with rope
But with heart.

The brave one dived into watching, [the brave one became lost in thought while watching]
He/she stopped at the place that he/she hoped for.
He/she mixed snow with honey,
He/she saw the beauty like that.
Say to the one who says,
“Let him/her come by the water,
Let him/her see on the day when he/she comes”:
The one who sees, sees even if he/she does not come.
The one who weaves, finds at his/her place.
...
...
Let one not say, “Narrow street,”
Let one not eat unripe fruit;
Let human not be mistaken on HIS path.

[let] Wine [go] into jug:
Let ‘ney’ give place to melody. [ney=nay, a reed flute (often used to play Mevlevi music)] [let one drink [spiritual] wine so that he/she hears not the ney's sound but its melody...]

If you say, “Is birth on the [current] day?”
“Finding,” I say,
“Conformity,” I say.
Let what is consulted about have
Its place,
Its path in all [humans]:
Let one conform to three hals.
“What are the three hals?” is said.
1) Let you say,
“I took, I conformed to what I took.”
2) Let you say,
“I conformed, I gave what I took.”
3) Let you say,
“I took, I conformed, I gave,
I loved every hal.”

When one matures [spiritually] like that,
Turning [away from HIS path] does not occur to you,
The one who loves, does not stay [behind on HIS path].

If my Allah rewards HIS human,
[it is] Because he/she does not fall in fault.
HE rewards because he/she is worthy.
If it is like that,
To say, “Does HE discharge me from duty?” is irrelevant.
If you do not do what is given to you,
It is because you did not take duty.

We congratulate all of you.
We wish for smokeless path,
For smokeless hal.

Be entrusted to my Allah.

We brought one’s greeting.
We freed from the one that separated HIS human
From the verse of Koran.
“What is the one that separates HIS human from the verse of Koran?” is said.
It is asked saying, “Which verse?”
'Ayet-El-Kursi' is human’s path, [Ayetel Kursi=255th verse in the Bakarah sura [2nd sura] of Koran]
Is human’s hal.
One’s every moment,
One’s every side
Is filled with it.
For that [reason], let us not stay as separated.

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.
