ONEness of HEARTs
VOLUME 3
Part 16

12 October 1976

I am Mevlana.
Traveler of the soft path.
We put on light shoe, [to put on light shoe==to follow the footprints of Prophet Mohammad]
We said, “Hay,” [hay==human separating his/her heart from his/her body]
We entered HAK’s path:
We knew that what happens was from HIM.
The One Who writes is HIM,
The One Who protects is HIM,
The One Who decorates your heart with rose is HIM.

Our path is ONE,
Our heart [is] ONE.
We will wind the wool ball, [wool ball==lifetime on earth]
We will untie the knots together.

Real humanity:
To know that what happens is from HIM,
To conform to what comes because it is from HIM.

We gave before:
We are at the place
Where one is not confused,
Where one is not mistaken.
You stayed without doubt;
Hearts [are] pleased.

We will say, “Ya Allah,” [ya Allah==thank YOU for my God-given share, I accept without any complaint]
We will know our place,
We will conform to Koran.

We do not set our heart on having the one that is not given.

We said, “Allah,” we became ONE,
We became pir on HAK’s path.
We hold the hand of the one who conforms,
“We have been together,” we say.
“Let us come closer,” you say,
It is like that;
However, hearts are together in every moment.

Let us erase the one that passed,
Let us laugh saying, “It passed.” [to laugh==to follow the footprints of Prophet Mohammad]
Our day that comes is bright,
Let us say, “Thank YOU my Allah.”

Wealth of heart
Opens path to the new one. [the new one==ONEness of HEARTs]
Happiness is in heart.
...
...
We said intercession,
We trusted HIS Representative.
“My Allah,” we said,
We leaned our back on HIS Power:
My Allah
WHO creates,
WHO makes live,
WHO protects.

We are together,
We will be together;
In each event,
We will know [that it is] The Giving of my Allah.

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

16 October 1976

I am Mevlana.
We became [spiritual] washer,
We came from yesterday to today.
We said, "Selam," to all of you.
We gave ‘kelam’ from what was/is in the record. [kelam=1. meaningful word. 2. utterance, remark. 3. Islamic theology. 4. the Koran.]
We set up our intention to arrive in HIS Persona
While [we were] on earth.
We were attributed with HIS attributes. [in Koran there are ninety nine names/attributes of Allah]
Our coming is, of course, to HIS worthy humans;
Our giving is to each human who wishes.

“Is there any one who is not worthy?” is being said.
In the word: [the answer of your question is in the following question:]
“May the one who knows and the one who does not know, be one?”
This knot unties. [your question is answered]
The one who gives: the one who is worthy,
The one who takes: the one who tries to be worthy,
[the one] Who is tried to be made worthy.
Of course [it is] mutual.

“The one who does not take,
How does he/she [spiritually] mature?”
Is being said.
The power of my Allah is sufficient
To make HIS each human find,
To make HIS each human [spiritually] mature.

The one who teaches, is the one who learns;
The one who is being taught, is the one who sets up the intention to learn.

I became fire, I burned,
I was saturated with Your flame.
I became coal, I froze;
I took spark, I knew to burn like that.
I burned inwardly,
I became ember,
I transformed into ash.
I became ash, I was winnowed by the wind.
They named each one of my dust[s],
They said, “Yunus,” as my name.
They have read, they have known.
The ones who conformed, they melted.
They formed rows and rows,
They came and came.
What did they find?
WHAT we found/find is HAK.
What we burn [is] the rod of nothingness.
When “Ya Allah,” is said, [ya Allah==thank YOU for my God-given share, I accept without any complaint]
When one enters the [HIS] path, with deep love,
Nothingness becomes our path-fellow,
Existence [becomes] our hal-fellow.

(Question: Is Existence [The Being] HAK?)

HIS attributes.

The drunkard keeps on walking around,
Has heart-to-heart talk with wine.
His/her measure is the vineyard.
Deep lover: he/she keeps on burning [in heart],
His/her measure is the mountain.
Nightingale finds path-fellow at high-plateau,
Pheasant [finds path-fellow] at plain,
Sea gull [finds path-fellow] at ocean.
Neither does the sea gull stay on mountain
Nor does the nightingale go to ocean.
Are their deep loves separate [different]?

Omar says:
In the word of Mevlana
Who took my deep love as measure,
Who knew his hal from me,
Who conveyed to HIS Representative that he took me from me,
The Light of his essence is seen.
On earth day, his pleading:
“My Allah, decorate me with Omar’s deep love,
Give me to Your Representative like that.”
He used to say,
He used to wish like that.
The pole of his wish,
His heart filled like that.
Because it was given by his pleading,
His deep love was conveyed from Omar to HIS Representative.
He knew,
On earth day, he took like that.

“Is it not like that?” is being said.
Each human’s deep love is in accordance with his/her heart.
‘Pleading’ is because of the abundance of deep love.
‘To wish’ is because of the fullness of heart. [one wishes because heart is not full]
Is ‘to wish’ not ‘to want’?
May the one who wants
Be considered as full?
The One Who is wished for is HIM.

I am Mevlana.
In what Omar says,
When earth saw my day, [when I was on earth in body]
Deep love wrapped me,
Mixed me with Shems.
HE took Shems,
Mevlana stayed.
My intention was
To wrap Omar’s deep love around myself,
To crawl on the lap of HIS Representative.
What is meant by crawling is:
To prostrate myself,
To present my deep love to The Lofty One by his hand.
“My hand is upon you;
Present your deep love [directly] without intermediary,”
He said, HIS Representative greeted.
Let selam [greeting/peace] be to all of you, [=we greet all of you, we wish peace for all of you]
Let your deep love be conveyed without intermediary.

The one who takes from the moon, [star==saint; moon==Hazrat Ali; sun==Prophet Mohammad]
The one who knows the star,
How does he/she deny the sun?
Of course, the universe will one day see the sun.
When it sees, it will conform unconditionally.
East-west will become one on that day.

Sea gull opens wing on all seas. [sea gull flies over all seas]
Whether it is calm or there is storm,
It flies, it flies.
It runs away from waterless place.

The roses of all vineyards [rose==Prophet Mohammad]
Will open.
The paths of all mountains
Will open.
Valleys will bring merriness
To the plain.
Peace-order will openly be seen
In the universe.

My Yunus says,
“All the ones who are remembered
Took the epic. [epics were written about them]
The ones who are called ‘yatir’ [yatir=tomb of saint; yatir==saint]
Put on the dress.
Rushing and surging in crowds,
They give blessing to earth.
They sprinkle HAK’s blessing
Like in the example of flower.
Beauty is that:
Let one be from the ones who take,
Let one find his/her place, with the one who gives.

We gave before:
You are happy,
You are blessed.
You are from the ones who take,
You are charged with the duty of giving.
The duty is of course difficult.
However,
Your day that passes is beneficial.
Distribute.
What is meant by
‘The one that is pruned, gives path’
Is that.

(Question: When ‘yatir’ is said, is it all yatirs or ‘seven yatirs’  [seven sleepers]?)
[yatir=tomb of saint; yatir==saint]

All.

When we said,
“Let seven sleepers be remembered,
Let [them] be given to pleading”:
When sevens give,
When HIS humans take
It is written that:
Day comes as short,
What is given, is with easiness.
What we call, “Let them be remembered,” is that.
We did not say, “Let them be searched.”

“The one whose nest we are in,” we said, we gave openly.
What is the one that is given to Seven?
We consulted, we had heart-to-heart talk with Seven.
Let one give as much as one knows the meaning,
As much as one enters the subject.
Let one not say, “Would I be mistaken?”
It is not given to the one who is [would be] mistaken.
...
...
Let one take sevenly from Seven.
It will be given of course.
We gave before:
The ones who are charged with duty
Are not only eleven.
After eleven are given [their duties],
It will be chosen saying, “Seven,” [seven more humans will be chosen for duty]
Once sevens are chosen, [sevens==plural of 7]
Duty will be divided into forty one humans.
Gradually one will of course go to manyness:
When it gets bigger
Number of the ones who are charged with duty
Will increase.

Omar says:
First plan is set up,
Then workers are given for the building.
Let one not say,
“Does each human who takes duty, give enough?”
The one who can not give is not chosen,
One does not migrate [to after earth life] before being able to give.

Be entrusted 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.
