ONEness of HEARTs
VOLUME 3
Part 39

3 June 1977

I am Mevlana.
“Interpretation,” is said, [chats are interpreted]
It opens to vision;
When it opens,
One passes from curtain to curtain.

Let selam [peace/greeting] be to all of you.

“Close friend,” we said,
We found in close friendship.
We took your greeting,
We came with greeting.

Say to the one who says,
“Let HIS blessing be abundant,
Let the one who knows the abundance [of HIS blessing], come”:
HIS blessing is abundant in every moment.
Let the one who conforms, take,
Let the one who takes, see,
Let him/her mature [spiritually] as he/she sees,
Let him/her find The Shah in his/her heart.
Let him/her give what he/she takes from you
To the one who wishes.
Let him/her say,
“From you to me,
From me to him/her.”

‘To rise’ is said for sun,
‘To set’ [is said] for sun. 
The sun does neither rise nor set,
It is only longed for by the eye of human. [sun==Prophet Mohammad]
The one that rises-that sets is not sun
But conformity,
It is ‘seeing The One Whom you conform to.’ [vision==to see HIM in HIS creations]

Moon does not make spare, [moon is not considered as spare]
It does not give shadow to the sun,
It does not hang curtain to the one who does not see. [it does not form [a] curtain for the one who does not see the sun]
“How?” is being said.
Both the one who sees
And the one who does not see
Are not mistaken.
When ‘not mistaken’ is said,
My word means that
It is the explanation of the one
Who conforms to vision,
Who tells as he/she sees.
If you tell about the sun from behind the tree,
You add the leaf.
If you tell [about the sun] from behind the cloud,
You wait for the rain.
Event is this.
Wideness is seen when one rises.

Say to the one who says,
“What is my [spiritual] level?”:
What you see, [vision==to see HIM in HIS creations]
Your look as much as you love.
[Previous verses may be better understood under the light of the following information: Allah grants spiritual degree/levels [18,000 of them] according to the following criteria: 1. Love, 2. Vision, 3. Display…]

Say to the one who says,
“Let the one who is master of path, come,
Let the one who is master of hal, stay”:
The one who is not [spiritually] mature,
The one who does not know,
Whom does he/she take from?
Let
The one who knows as well as
The one who does not know,
The one who is [spiritually] mature as well as
The one who is [spiritually] immature
Come.
Let the one who is [spiritually] mature
Give to the one who is [spiritually] immature.
Let the one who knows
Give to the one who does not know.
Let him/her give
So that he/she educates him/herself too,
So that he/she grinds him/herself with him/herself.

“Let us put oil in oil lamp,
Let us ask to ourself,” he said,
My Yunus entered the word.
Let one not say,
“Whether he enters [the chat] or not,
Whether he gives or not,
The one who took, took whatever he/she wished,
The one who loved, embraced his/her close friend.
What is left to the one who does not love?”
There is no one who is not loved
By the one who loves.
Let us say,
“Let us open our hand to close friend,
Let us turn our direction to Close Friend.”
Our subject conformed to the taste of the chat.
I came with greeting for the name of all [humans],
I brought the greeting from Yahya. [Yahya greets all humans]
Let us give to the one who comes,
Let us know that [it is] the hand of close friend,
He said.

Let us find [a] side of stove,
Let us conform to our hal.
We leaned our back [on HIM],
Let us say, “Thank YOU Allah.”


The one that we conform to the new one, [the new one==ONEness of HEARTs]
The one that we hear through heart,
Comes like in the example of river;
Let it not be thought that it is [would be] cut off.

“We are not from the ones who get satiated,
We are from the ones who take,” you say.
The more you take, the more you hear,
[the more] You know what The Giver gives,
[the more you know] HIS name without smoke.

“WHO is the one WHOM I lean on?” is said.
Of course The Lofty One.

What is scattered is
Not the vision
But knowledge.
What is conformed to is
Love-respect.

What the oil makes come into being,
What the stove makes come together,
What human criticizes
Is it only one pan of food?
Or is it the head that does [it]?
The one
That comes into being in three steps,
That comes together at the table,
That unites with the additive
Is human’s food.
“What is the one that comes into being in three hals?” is said.
Stove-fire-pan.
If stove is not sufficient,
If fire does not burn,
If pan does not hold
You can not take your food,
You can not know the satiety.
Conformity is such that:
When bitter-sweet become one,
When they become one and enter the pan,
It becomes from the ones that are loved.
“What is bitter-sweet?” is said.
If you take
The oil, the salt, the pepper, the onion
That enter the pan,
If you know [take them] separately,
You can not reach its taste.
If you do not cook the onion that is bitter,
You can not say, “Sweet.”
Heading toward oneself is like that too.
If you pass
Without saying, “Beautiful-ugly,”
Without conforming to his/her anger,
Without hearing the perverse word,
“You joined the sweet one of the food,” I say.
If you say,
“His/her word does not conform to my word,
He/she does not see the place that I look at,
He/she does not say ‘appropriate’ to the beautiful,”
[then]
“It is example
Of what you add to your food,
[it is example] Of what you taste,
[it is example] That you are scattered,”
I say.
What is meant by ‘being scattered,’ is
Not to conform to what is given,
Not to hear what is given,
Not to know the one that is loved.

Our word is to the one who says,
“My food is beautiful,”
Yet who does not consider ‘cheese-bread’ as food:
Turn to [spiritual] maturation.
The Reality is The One That is taken as IT is,
Not the one that is asked from ‘little-much.’
“What is ‘little-much’?” is said.
Little is the one that is known, [human knows little about HIM]
Much is The One That is seen.
There is no mistake in what is said.

Yahya says,
“Little brings much,
Much takes away the little.”
My word is to the one who says,
“It has become riddle,
It waits for interpretation”:
The Reality is
Not riddle
But [IT is] to be solved.
If you know WHERE you take from,
[if you know] WHERE you turn to,
You find in 'little and much.'

“Little known,” we said,
We gave as much as HIS human knows.
The One That is seen is of course much.
Yet
What fraction of WHAT you see, do you know?
The interpretation of the one who hears
Is as much as he/she leans on [HIM].

If successor knows the predecessor,
If he/she gives his/her hand at the place where he/she knows,
We say, “Eyvallah."
[we said] To the one who says,
“We teach to love.”

Let there be
No judgment of human,
No worry about what happens. [? No worry about the one who matures [spiritually]. ?]
He/she will find the balance,
He/she will pass through the sifter.
The day’s interpretation will conform to the one that comes.

Be entrusted to my Allah.

Let you stay as one with all [humans].

Love, rejoice.

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.
