ONEness of HEARTs
VOLUME 3
Part 29

11 March 1977

I am Mevlana.
“Let our day be good deed,
Let hearts know HIS path,”
He said, my Yunus came in moment.

Let selam [peace/greeting] be to all of you.
Let the day’s interpretation stay in human.
Let good deed be wished
For the one who wishes for path to the new one, [the new one==ONEness of HEARTs’ teachings; the old one/the one that passed==old spiritual beliefs, faiths]
For the path of the one who asks place from the one that passed.

If you say,
"If you come by sea,
You respect the waves.
If you see the three,
You peel the fruit.
You put heart in all [humans] from earth to sky," [from earth to sky, you love all humans]
I say, ‘Eyvallah [affirmative].’
I see the same love in all [humans].

Migration [to after earth life] is
Sweet for the one who goes [there],
Bitter for the one who stays [on earth].

Standard of value
Spreads sand on one’s path,
Mixes sand with water. [water==spiritual water]

The ones who start pleading,
Find with pleading,
He said, my Yunus walked.

Falcon sets its nest up on lofty mountains;
In intention: it interprets what it finds.
Its maturation is hard
Not because of intention
But as it is written in the record.
It does not seek partner for its offense.
It does not find itself in anyone else.
It does not become responsible for the congregation.
When it is like that,
“Its interrogation, its judgment are in itself,” it says,
It asks [it] to itself.

The morsel of the one who eats his/her fill, is big,
The vision of the one who looks, is small.
“What does it mean?” is said.
Of course there is no food of the one who is full.
[however,] The one who looks, sees the morsel as small;
His/her hope is for the big one.

If you ask the poet,
If you say, “Earth?”
He/she tells you its emptiness.
[however,] Earth’s emptiness eliminates human’s stony place.
If it is like that, let us say
Not earth’s emptiness
But [earth’s] niceness.
Let us educate ourself on earth.
Let us educate as well as
Let us grind as well as
Let us distribute what we grind.
Then we get free of ego.

Blessing is ‘coming to earth,’
Ornament is ‘knowing the earth,’
Value
Is ‘becoming [spiritually] mature on earth,’
Is ‘finding the earth,’
Is ‘conforming [while one is] on earth,’
Is ‘returning [to after earth life/to HIM] like that.’

Fight of the one who says,
“I fought against life,”
Is against his/her ego.

Ney takes [human's] breath, gives sound. [ney=nay, a reed flute (often used to play Mevlevi music).]

My Yunus says,
“Let guest be from life, [? Let guest be sincere, ?]
Let my path be from Darling.
Let each one who hears, come,
Let each one who takes my voice, know.
There is no necessity for recording,
Let him/her conform to what happens, as it happens…” [when one conforms to events without any complaint, then there is no sin to be recorded…]

The one who knows the [spiritual] maturation thanks to coming [to earth], [the one who matures spiritually on earth]
Is the one who gives what he/she knows.

The one who puts load on his/her back,
Takes as much as he/she lifts.
What he/she can not lift, stays.
My Allah does not give HIS human, the load that he/she can not lift.

Leaf is known on branch, [branch==Mevlana’s/Garib’s congregation; leaf==human who is member of the congregation [i.e. all humans who read and understand ONEness of HEARTs]]
Flower [is known] on [HIS] path,
Fruit [is known] in hal.
[in previous verses, it is thought that ‘leaf,’ ‘flower’ and ‘fruit’ symbolize different spiritual phases of human]

[while standing] By splashing water,
One gives ear only to the sound, [one listens only to the sound]
One waits for hope from the sound.
[however,] The one that happens is due to [? [however,] One matures spiritually thanks to ?]
Not sound
But the flow [of the water]. [? But the flow [of the spiritual water]. ?]

Does the one that you take from ground stay in you
[and does the one] That you take from branch stay in me?
Surely the one that is on the ground as well as
The one that is the one on the branch
Are yours.
Only what I give is mine,
It is the one that I took.

My word is to the one who says,
“I took to give,
I loved to die for”:
Let my Allah be pleased with you.

"Our door is open to all [humans],
Let him/her stand on the path of the who comes,” is said. [let him/her be welcomed / he/she is welcome…]

Say to the one who says,
“I can not take from the ignorant,
I can not give to the wise”:
There is no record of science so that you say,
‘Where do I give from?’
There is no condition of ignorance so that you say,
‘What do I take?’
The one who hears,
Even if he/she is so ignorant,
He/she gives his/her sensibility.
His/her love directs his/her heart,
His/her deep love decorates all [humans].

(Question: What is ‘to hear’?)

The one who hears
Is the one who conforms without knowing.
He/she is the one who does not know what he/she sees,
He/she is the one who does not solve what he/she knows.
He/she is the one who whirls with his/her deep love,
He/she is the one who finds the universe in his/her deep love.
Yet he/she is the one who conforms
Without knowing that he/she found. [? Without knowing WHAT he/she found. ?]

Let us say,
“Every time we open the page,
What we will see is good deed,”
Let us not think of the page that will come.
The one that will come is written.
[however,] Do not wish to see.
Say,
“We will weave,
While we weave, we will see.”
Belt that is from cloth [is] around the waist,
Wool ball [is] in hal, [wool ball==lifetime on earth]
What you weave [is] in you.

The happening of the one that comes [what will happen in the future]
Is not solved on the [current] day.
If it is solved, it is not loved.
“Why?” is said.
What my Allah writes for HIS human,
HE makes known on its day,
HE makes [it] be loved on its day.
Woodwork:
When you start [chiseling], you know,
When it [chiseling] is over, you see.
The one that is in between,
You chisel from day to day.
Human’s lifetime is [like] that too.
It is cut from the three,
It is chiseled like in the example of woodwork,
It is made to fit the door-the window.
When it becomes mature, [when it takes its final shape]
When it finds its place,
[then] It is beautiful.
Isn’t human’s birth like that too?
He/she is born, he/she grows up,
He/she pushes one another,
He/she gets involved in every event.
When he/she finds his/her place,
When he/she knows the aim,
He/she becomes [spiritually] mature,
He/she knows.
Standard of value is that;
It is "one's taking [his/her] place."
Value is
Neither being door of palace
Nor door of hut.
It is only ‘to be door,’
To find his/her place at the place where he/she is.
[? To find his/her place at the place where he/she becomes [spiritually] mature. ?]
The one that [? who ?] burns is at its [? his/her ?] place [? The one that [? who ?] burns is appropriate ?]
As well as
The one that [? who ?] is stepped on
As well as
The one that [? who ?] is hanged from the ceiling.
There is place of each one who/that exists,
There is his/her/its value.
Each service [duty] is the most valuable,
It has no measure. [it can not be measured]
Measure
Is in [for] the one who knows him/herself,
Is in [for] the one who conforms to The One That exists.

“What is the one that sleeps?” is said. ["Who is the one who sleeps?" is said.]
He/she is the one who is not chiseled
By The One That knows to chisel.
He/she does not conform to The One That exists.
Of course, one's essence; one's eye that is in his/her heart.

My word is to the one who says,
“Is the guest at his/her place?”: [? “Is the guest appropriate?”: ?]
Let him/her be at the summit, [? Let him/her be at HIS summit, ?]
Let him/her come from the one who hears,
Let him/her be entrusted to my Allah.

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

LOVE, SEE & SHARE:

Love all HIS creations;
See HIM in all of HIS creations;
Share HIS Meaning.
