ONEness of HEARTs
VOLUME 3
Part 17

20 October 1976

I am Mevlana.
We are on the day
On which there is pleading,
On which hearts fill.
Let selam [peace/greeting] be to all of you.
Let the one who says,
“I have put on shelf,” [==I forgot about it]
Put his/her hand on the shelf. [let him/her remember]

[spiritual] Immaturity comes from the one who hears [the one who is not on HIS path].

The wave that hits the shore
Does not empty the ocean.

At the place where sand is sifted,
Human does not stay without path. [? Human does not stay as degenerate. ?]

If you give heart
To the leaf of the one that is tree, [if you love the leaf of the tree]
[the one who searches excuse not to love:]
He/she asks for the flower.
If you give heart
To the tree with abundant fruit; [if you love fruitful tree]
Do you erase the tree when its fruit ends. [do you uproot the tree when it has no more fruit]
Let us be from the ones who love,
Let us not take the one who divides.
“Let us not take to where?” is being said.
What we do not take, is his/her attitude that divides.
Let us take from hand,
Let us know from tongue,
Let us find from path.
Let us share what we present with all [humans].

If you ask [about] The Reality,
If you search the one that is given,
Wait for the ripe one of the fruit. [wait to become spiritually mature similar to how you would wait for a fruit to ripen…]
...
...
The One That you wish to take,
The One That you say about, “I wish I can see,”
Looks at the [spiritually] mature of the one who will see.
You wish for [a] place,
You ask [about] hal:
How do you see before crossing notch?
What is called as “he/she matures [spiritually],”
Are the notches that are crossed.

Do you know the green color?
When you say, “He/she is [spiritually] immature,”
Do you measure what HE gives. [what measure do you base your judgment on]
“How is notch crossed?” is being said.
When one stays without question,
When one conforms to every hal.
When you say, “Your color is equal,”
To black and white,
To green and yellow,
You see that you cross the notches. [when you do not discriminate among colors [races], than you cross the notches]
If you say,
“Let me lift every cover that I see,
Let me see what is underneath,”
Then you pass [waste] time only.
Pass [forget] the one that is covered,
The one that is open is enough for you.
When you say,
“Why is the cover?”
Then you peel off hal,
You turn to inclination.
“What is inclination?” is said.
Hal [is] conformity,
Inclination is sensation.
What is meant by sensation
Is ‘turning from hal to shape.’ [paying attention to matter instead of The Meaning]

We wished for chiseling,
We have given since the day we came,
We passed that notch long time ago.
Our day is toward turning to hal.
For that [reason],
Let covers be opened for the ones who stay in shape,
Let notches be opened for the ones who conform to hal.

“We come while turning and turning,
We see the tree from far.
We say, 'Selam [peace/greeting],'
We take word [we join the chat],” he said.

(Question: Hazrat Veysel Karani?)

Eyvallah. [affirmative]
Bright word on bright day,
Sweet word in beautiful essence.
We said, ‘Veysel,’ we came.
We saw mirror on the right and left.
We took the greeting of the one
Who has Owner,
Who remembers saying, “Veysel.”
Let my Allah be pleased,
Let your name be remembered three times.
“What are ‘three times’?” is being said.
Morning,
Afternoon,
Passage to second half of the night.
“What is the honor of three times?” is said.
Morning, bright day.
Afternoon, mature day.
Second half of the night, oneness of black and white,
Devotion of all [humans],
ONEness of the universe,
Peace of ONEness,
Awakening of the one who sleeps,
His/her leaning on HAK’s Name.
Let
The pleading of the one who gives his/her greeting
Be this on the three times:
“My Allah,
I knew ONEness,
I overcame the difficulty,
Let me find peace.
The moment in which I find,
Let me mature [spiritually].”

It is written that you will be ONEness.
Difficulty is overcome,
One stopped at peace.
Of course one will pass
Hand in hand, pleading in tongue-in heart.
Will be found at the turn of the day.
Time opens path to the new one. [the new one==ONEness of HEARTs]
“Do I conform to the call?” you say.
“Put conformation into the intention,” I say.

(One human says: “Because human can only set up the intention. The One Who makes the intention become reality is Allah.”)

Eyvallah.


If we say, “We are the owner of the intention”
“Is it in your hand?” I say.

I am Mevlana.
If guest says, “I have trouble,”
[then] Host gives his/her place to the one who is on the [HIS] path.
[if host treats the guest badly, he/she is replaced by someone who is on HIS path…]
The one that is consulted is like that.

If you say, “Let him/her come to my foot,” [i.e. I am too arrogant to go to him/her, let him/her come to me]
Think that he/she will be partner in your trouble too.

Wideness is until one comes to wall.
Wall is the border of the wideness.
To the one who says,
“Where will I mature [spiritually]?
How will I know that I mature [spiritually]?”:
You see your place when you come to the border.
Border is ‘coming to the notch,’
Is ‘diving into the event.’
Give place to wideness.
Narrowness does not give you.

The intention that you set up
Does not stretch the rope.

Human does not ask [about] future happening. [human does not ask about future events]
When you stay without question,
You look openly at every day,
You see the issue with open heart.
There is no place for worry,
Wool ball is wound… [wool ball==lifetime on earth]

I was remembered as Yunus,
I found as I remembered [HIM].
To the one who opened path,
To the one who scattered [distributed] love,
“You [are] the beauty,” I said.
He/she will give,
He/she will rejoice that he/she gives.
If he/she says word about embroidery,
Then say to him/her:
The one who takes path from Yunus,
Let him/her not know creek as path,
He/she takes from river.
Let him/her not ask from the bird that is on mountain,
He/she hears from nightingale.
Let him/her erase the worry.

Seyyit Hasan says:
The one who respects and the one who eats his/her fill
Are not one;
The one who loves and the one who robs
Are not one;
The one who takes and the one who gives
Are not one.
Let him/her be from the ones
Who eat their fill,
Who love,
Who take,
Who give.
He/she read the one that is written,
He/she knew the one that is respected,
Let him/her conform to what he/she knew/knows.
He/she will mature [spiritually],
On every day that is born,
He/she will rise one step more.
Let us say, “Eyvallah,”
Let us greet all of you.

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

21 October 1976

I am Mevlana.
We are next to the ones
Who wish to Yemen for path,
Who ask their wish from grass,
Who find the beautiful one and the [spiritually] mature one as appropriate.
Our place is in hearts.
My Yunus wishes for word.
"We are in the essence of the nest, [nest==Mevlana’s/Garib’s congregation; all humans who read and understand ONEness of HEARTs]
In the word of HIS human,” he says.
If I say,
“I played with sand,
I did not respect earth appropriately,”
It is irrelevant.
[because]
Sand is not played with,
One does not know if earth is not respected.

I did not stand at narrow place,
I did not wear large dress,
I did not take smoke and whirl.
Wideness:
When one conforms to what happens;
For the one who comes [to earth / to his/her senses],
For the one that is heard.

You can not erase the reality [? The Reality ?],
You can not divide [it] appropriately.

What you will see,
What you will know
Will be
To conform to the new one, [the new one==ONEness of HEARTs]
To take as one matures [spiritually].

Pride is in the one
Who does not know him/herself,
Who does not conform to vicinity.

Close friend sells the one that he/she knows,
Throws away the one that he/she does not know.

“What will I become?” you say.
How much you are mature [spiritually]
Is equal to what will happen;
Each event is in harmony with human.

When you pass [progress], you read syllable by syllable.
When you mature [spiritually],
[then] You spend the night;
[you] Add the night to the day,
[you] Wait saying, “The day is born.”
[Previous may be better understood under the light of the following information: during sleep, spirit of the human who has permission from Allah meets with other spirits of the same spiritual level and/or his/her saint. These meetings take place in Light…]

You take the four,
You divide the four into fifty.
You add worry to worry saying,
“It does not happen, it can not happen.”
Consider each event as being appropriate [so that:]
Let what will happen, what will come
Not give worry to your home.
Let each event divide itself appropriately.
I said before: do not divide the four into fifty.
“What is four?” you say.
[it is] The one that you are obsessed with,
That you try to divide in the night of every day.

We gave before with word,
We showed the four directions of pleading.
Four directions of pleading are this:
Pleading
With tongue,
With body,
With heart,
With deep love.
With tongue: it is ‘to please the heart of HIS human.’
With body: to worship while prostrating oneself [as well as]
With body: to be helper to HIS human.
With heart: To love,
To be able to give the same love to HIS each human,
To HIS each creation.
Deep love: [it is] above every thing;
It is the pleading with my Allah.
Before knowing the [first] three,
Before dividing [them] into their [appropriate] place [before performing them appropriately]
You can not pass to four[th].

“Interpret each event with matter first,” I say.
When you sit at the table,
If you eat baklava first, [baklava=a rich dessert made of thin, flaky layers of pastry filled with chopped nuts, butter, and cinnamon and soaked in a honey or sugar syrup]
You know what will happen.
If it happens like that,
Next time you sit at the table,
You drink soup first,
You take the dessert the last.
Event is this.

You mixed your love with deep love,
You made each event race with deep love.
“Love is contagious,” I said,
I gave the reality like that.
With love, human
Matures [spiritually],
Comes together with the universe,
Has heart-to-heart talk with all [humans].
As such he/she gets ignited with the fire of deep love.
Deep lover
Does not say,
Does not put his/her deep love on display.
I said this before:
The one that is displayed is love.

We are not from the ones who are mistaken.

Do not tie tomorrow to today.

Iron is worked,
In hot flame, it comes to its exact degree of heat.
The duty of the iron is in the shape that it takes.
You too,
The days on which you say, “I burned,”
Are the days on which you come to your exact degree of heat,
On which you take shape.
On [that] day, you found your shape,
You conformed to the shape that you took.
Of course you expect reputation for the duty.
It is not wrong, reputation is name,
Is the name of the shape that you take.

Spare anchor of the ship that is at ocean.
We gave with matter,
Find the meaning yourself.
The one that does not change [in a ship] as place, as number:
The belongings of the ship.

Keep hearts as pleased,
Keep events as empty.
The one who matures [spiritually], will mature, [? What happens, will happen, ?]
The one who is mistaken, will find.
The one who walks on the path softly,
The one who says,
“My Allah, each event is in your knowledge,”
Will turn to Tabduk like in the example of Yunus, [Tabduk=mursheed [spiritual guide] of Yunus]
Will know his/her God-given share, there.
We already said:
[what is meant by] ‘The one who walks on the path softly,’
[are] All [humans] who know [that] every hal [is] from HAK.
When my Yunus went back to Tabduk,
Did he not know,
Did he not take [realize] that he was Yunus? [did he not come to his/her senses?]
Let it not be forgotten that
The ones who are next to you are
Essential anchors of the ship too.
“How?” is being said.
Who is the one who prepares the night,
Who takes the threes in between?
“We set up intention, we came,” is being said.
Your coming,
Let it not be forgotten:
Day will come and it will be given,
Your name will be written among the ones who are on duty.
Among seven’s, Eyvallah.
However, its word will be said when its day comes.

There are seven essential components of the ship:
Its pole,
Its rudder,
Its engine,
Its anchor,
Its propeller,
Its funnel.
If you wish for intention,
If you say, “He stayed at six,” [he said about six components instead of seven]
[then] You are mistaken:
You forget its radar.
The load of the ship is a lot:
There is
Its hawser,
Its boat,
Its winch...
However, if it does not conform to seven
Neither does it stop
Nor does it turn…

The one that you wish to take,
The one that you say about, “Let it conform to the new one,” [the new one==ONEness of HEARTs]
Finds its place,
HIS each human is pleased.

Be entrusted to my Allah,
Know the duty quickly.

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.
