ONEness of HEARTs
VOLUME 3
Part 4

4 April 1976

I am Mevlana.
If you wish for peace,
You search [it] at your place: [? You search [it] on HIS earth: ?]
You comb your heart saying, "Good deed."
No event is appropriate for coincidence. [no event is coincidence/all events are created by HIM]
The word of the one who changes place
Does not go with torrent.
The one who is washed [spiritually] does not add worry to day.
The one who is washed [spiritually]
Is the one who is purified,
Is the one who becomes HAK with HAK’s word.

The one who does not go, does not come; [no spirit comes to after earth life before it goes to earth to take the test in body...]
What is written, is not changed. [destiny that HE wrote/writes is not changed]

I gave in the past:
Wait for the convenient news.

The value of the day is
In The One Who makes [it] conform to your pleading.
Pleading takes place when it conforms to the writing.
I said before:
Let my Allah make our intention conform to our writing;
Let HIM make our pleading be known like that.

I gave before:
You take the news that will come from the island, from the big one of the island[s],
You start the journey on convenient path.

We gave the four in the four,
We showed one of the four.

One will mature [spiritually]
Not with shah [shah= the title of any of the former rulers of Iran; shah==chess game]
But clear explanation. [one matures spiritually thanks to clear [spiritual] explanation, not with mind games...]
The one who does not take,
Will say, “Beautiful,” at the return [to after earth life]. [the one who takes from our chats will perceive The Reality while he/she is on earth in body; however, the one who does not take from our chats, will learn The Reality only when he/she migrates to after earth life…]

Let you convey our greeting,
Let you send the writing like that.

When my Allah gives permission,
You book your place [in after earth life] from earth [while you are on earth]…
If HE does not give permission
How do you open [take] step?

The one who takes hand in his/her hand, [the one who holds hand / the one who takes the hand of his/her saint]
Takes his/her eye away from the earth,
Gets his/her worry free of the wind. [he/she gets free of worry]

What is written [what we write]
Is neither from hand nor from tongue,
But only from heart.

When heart starts the journey on [HIS] path,
When human sobers up into The Reality,
Neither medicine nor dessert is necessary;
Heart connects to heart.
We said before:
Ring joins circle of rings, [another ring is added to chain]
Wherever he/she is, he/she is waited for.

How is fault loaded on the one that will happen?

My Yunus says:
My word is to the one who says:
‘Do you know him/her, do you see what he/she does?’
My essence [is] not scattered.
I did not stay in narrow passage,
I did not dream saying, “Let me arrive.”
I knew my day from HIM,
I hoped for my tomorrow.

There is no [spiritual] immaturity; [there is no such thing as: “one does not spiritually mature”]
One moves forward to [spiritual] maturity.
When hearts become one,
What word stays for the path? [what is left for the path?]

The birth of the day is called dawn;
Freshly cooked bread is eaten.

Each human thinks that he/she ran during the day…

Yunus does not say word about the one who is not [spiritually] mature, [? Yunus does not say word about the negative one, ?]
He does not add the old one to the sweet one of the word,
He does not glance at the food of the one who does not eat.
When “he does not mix ‘helva’ for one [i.e. for himself only]” is said, [helva=halvah, halva, halavah (a sweet prepared with sesame oil, various cereals, and syrup or honey)]
“Let me have spoon and mix the helva,” he says,
He can not stop from sharing.

We talked about the four,
We showed its essence.
The one who wanders around on the mountain,
The one who acquires new form according to his/her heart,
The one who takes Light from HIS LIGHT,
The one who does not separate his/her hand from the eye. [? The one who does not separate HIS human from the eye. ?]
(Question: Is the one who lives on the mountain in Philippines, and who performs surgery with bare hands, one of the four?)
Yes.
Eye is Light.
The one who acquires new form according to HIS "Hal" [hal==to find oneself in water, air, sand, soil, tree, leaf…/ to be ONE with HIS creations]
Is pir.

Lokman says:
The one who takes hand with eye [? The one who takes human with eye ?]
Is the one who puts Light in his/her heart.
However, eye gives on soft path.
The one who does not know him/herself,
The one who rejoices saying, “I got trump in my hand,”
Eye
Throws him/her over mountain, over stone;
If he/she has water, it makes [it] overflow.
It both makes [it] overflow,
And makes him/her fall down.

“I took word from mouth,” you say;
And I say to you, “I have read the one that is written.”
You will give hand.
“Four,” we said,
We assumed the duty to build the wall of the four.
Didn’t we say, “When the roof of the four is built,
Then it becomes as if hand found hand”?
When your consultation becomes your craziness of logic,
Then the fours set up the balance [equilibrium].

If you planted your tree,
If you poured its water,
[then] Wait for its fruit.
[if the tree gives no fruit, and you do not understand why:]
At the place where your mind does not understand,
Know that there is the hand of HAK.

You can not take [steer] the ship without rudder.
After getting in the sea, you can not dive at the shore.
“Enter [go to] the deep,” we said.
If it is not written,
You can not drown even if you wish.
“There is no [spiritual] immaturity,” we said.
“What you wish for is HAK,” we said.
The One Who writes, does not change [it].

Wideness is
Not in the one who stops
But in the one who puts out [to wideness].

We gave the new one, [the new one==teachings of ONEness of HEARTs; the old one==old spiritual beliefs]
"Pass the old one," we said.
Do not say, “If I do not take?”
You too,
Let you know that what is being said [i.e. ONEness of HEARTs]
Is in accordance with the one that is written [by HIM].

Let us say, “Path is convenient,”
Let us tie the word with sweet.
Let us give honey to the one who loves honey,
Let us show [HIS] path to the one who says, “Hal.”

Does the falcon fly over the mountain?
Does it run away if it sees shadow?
It both flies and runs away;
However,
The one who sees that it flies
Does not know that it runs away.

Eagle does not set its nest up on tree
Because tree does not give any place to eagle.
Why?
Because tree is the one that shelters
Not the one that gives confidence.

Who finds the reality?
How does he/she know [that it is the reality]?
The Reality is The One That happens, [? The Reality is The One That exists, ?]
Is the one that is written in the book.
The one who reads as IT is written,
Knows The Reality.
If you say, “Who knows?”
“The One Who writes,” we said.
HIS Representative is the one who read as it was written.
“How is it read as it was written, how is it known?” is said.
He took Koran,
He knew the writing,
He found the universe,
He was in the same condition as HIS human. [? He became one with HIS human. ?]

We took four from the four,
We gave as roof.
We build its wall[s] together with you.
(Question: Do these four persons understand and explain some parts of Koran better than others?)
[the question is irrelevant because:]
How do we divide Koran?
Of course [they are] from the ones who know,
From the ones who found/find the universe.
“Are their numbers a lot?” you say about the ones who build the wall.
Yesterday’s day is passed,
The one who comes opened to the [current] day.

“Who is the roof of the earth?” is said.
HIS Representative.
[there are] Four rafters of the roof.
Windows that open: prophets.
Say to the one who says, “Its door?”:
[the door is] The heart of each one who wishes.
The door belongs to HAK, similar to The Structure That is HIS.

(Question: We heard that one of the four poles is in Turkey, would you help [on this matter]?)
You will find when you put point
To the lofty one of mountain,
To the syllable of the sheep,
To the cell of the cow,
To the drop of the milk… [you will find when you realize that the lofty mountain, the sheep, the cow, the milk, etc. all come from ONE point as theorized in the "Big Bang" theory...]
You will laugh saying, “Where did I search, where did I find?”
“To know one’s place [in after earth life]” is not “to find [HIM],”
[it is] “To walk in the moment in which you are called.”
You laugh, you pass;
On return [to after earth life],
You are amazed if you do not find What you saw [on earth].
Voila, That is The One That you search.
My Allah gives HIS vote to the one who searches,
However, HE first makes him/her wander around.

From life to life: eyvallah,
From life to you: eyvallah.

Be entrusted to my Allah.

Does it ever happen
That my word is not taken,
That it is not divided [that it does not spread] from human to human?

If your heart is in peace,
If the one whom you hit, is in readiness, [i.e. if you act bravely]
Then path is human’s.

The one who consults with tree:
It does not give with word.
[it gives by means of its fruits, however,]
It does not bend its branch before its fruit ripens.
On the other hand,
Whatever you say to reed, you take [that],
You give as you take.
We gave to the one who says,
“Do I work hard? Do I find?”

Do not say, “Coincidence,” to [about] events.

Say:
I was leaf, I did not fall.
I did not go away from HAK’s path.
Greeting [is] from HIM, from [through] my tongue:
Mevlana Celaleddin-i Rumi.

Noble spirit returns to his/her Original.
Goodbye.
Lailaheillallah Muhammedur Resulullah. [Allah is The only One to be worshiped, and Mohammad is HIS Representative.]

7 April 1976

I am Mevlana.
Our Original is from ONE,
Our essence is from The ONE That exists.

We came [to earth],
We saw our worry,
We said to [about] our [spiritual] maturation, "Tale."
I did not say about “coming [to after earth life].”
[it is thought that the previous four verses are about old spiritual beliefs…]

My Yunus says:
If a little is taken from a little,
Then it is shared.
If a little is taken from a lot,
It is known as his/her favor.
If it is said, "Is this the rule?"
Whether you take from a little or a lot,
It is your God-given share.

For the foot of the one who is ready,
Path is found as short, why?
Because he/she sees each existing one as beautiful.

The one who sees brightly, goes openly.
The one who is pessimist, goes depressed.
Do not say, “There is cloud in the sky, [I wonder] if torrent comes.”
Do not say, “Leaf fluctuates, [I wonder] if gusty wind blows.”
Neither does the torrent take away nor does the wind bring.
The one who keeps his/her heart as bright,
Increases [the number of] beautiful days [that are] in his/her lifetime.
Let it not be forgotten.

What entertains the shepherd is
Neither his/her flute nor his/her lambs,
But only HIS beautiful writings that he/she reads.
Is the beauty of the universe not because of the one that is written?

If you take the mirror in your hand,
If you look [in it] at the moment in which you laugh,
Of course you become pleased.
If it is like that,
Why don’t you laugh in every event?

“Does one laugh next to the one who cries?” you say. [isn't it a shame to laugh next to the one who cries?]
When you consider ‘holding the hand of the one who cries’ as duty,
Then don’t you become as knowing the new one? [the new one==ONEness of HEARTs]
When it is like that,
Then don’t you laugh with the one who laughs? [then don’t you laugh with the one who holds your hand and who laughs? / if the one who holds your hand laughs, wouldn't you join him/her in laughing?] [to laugh==to follow the footprints of Prophet Mohammad]

Path is
The writing for HIS bright human,
The dig for HIS closed human. [for HIS human whose heart door is closed]

Dream,
When one is tired,
Occurs on path like in the example of Yunus.
“How?” is being said.
If human is tired,
He/she sees in dream that he/she walks continuously.
“Is it [so] because it is in accordance with intention?” is said.
I said before:
During sleep, spirit leaves the body,
Yet it does not break off completely.
Voila, tired human
Can even know the going.
It is of course not contradictory.

If you get out [of your house] into cold air in the morning,
If you ask the religious fanatic about "ezan," [ezan==the call to prayer in Islam]
He/she says,
“Open your ear,
You have no God-given share,
Pass through my way.” [? Get out of my way.” ?]
[he/she acts wrongly] As if human’s God-given share is asked from human,
He says, my Yunus ties the word. [he finishes his saying]

If hand holds hand,
If he/she throws the pen, the paper, [if he/she submits him/herself to HIM],
If he/she covers each event saying, “Good deed,”
Then he/she does even erase the question of the religious fanatic who goes to worship.
I will take,
I will divide [give/share],
I will see with all [humans],
Like in the example of the sun, [sun==Prophet Mohammad]
Regardless of
Whether he/she is rich,
Whether he/she is poor,
Whether he/she is hungry,
Whether he/she is miserable…
Regardless of his/her religion
As long as he/she knows his/her humanity.
Coming [to earth] should be like that.
Going [to after earth life] should conform to coming [to earth]. [i.e. one should return to after earth life without wasting HIS Light That he/she had at the time of birth]

Manyness should go
Not to division
But to oneness.
Oneness occurs with peaceful coexistence,
Love fills the oneness that comes into being.

What constitutes the building?
“Stone-soil,” is being said.
Of course, however,
Concrete strengthens it.
[our] Advice does of course not give way to [spiritual] immaturity. [our chats [==concrete] lead to spiritual maturity]
No worry is seen when going on the [HIS] path.

It is seen that the one who says,
"Let 'yes' be said if he/she will mature [spiritually],"
Does not believe that one will not become immature. [he/she does not believe that all humans will mature spiritually]

The one who tries to get some ayran, [ayran=airan, a drink made of yogurt and water]
Thinks of yogurt even if he/she does not want [any yogurt].

If pain enters the foot of the one who falls down, [if the foot of the one who falls down hurts]
He/she does of course not say, “Why?”
The one who has pain without falling down
Has question.

Nevertheless,
It is thought that the one who is said about by the one who passes,
“He/she can not [spiritually] mature,”
Passes [the passage]. [the person who is thought that he/she is spiritually immature, is still granted spiritual degree]
There is no separation.
The one who is said about, “He/she can not pass,”
Will pass.
My word is this.

The ones who find shade,
The ones who say, “Oh! So beautiful [to be in the shade]!”
Are the ones who know the sun. [sun==Prophet Mohammad; tree==congregation of Mevlana; teachings of ONEness of HEARTs]
If one does not burn from [in] the sun,
He/she does not know the value of the shade.

Neyzen says:
I did not fish in the lake,
I did not ask my path from the moon.
I blew, I gave breath,
I wrapped lives with [in] breath.
I said, “My life,” I pleaded.
I do not start the journey at night.
I came to this hal, at the table of deep love.
The ones who know my day,
The ones who say, “One breath…”
Breath [is] in life, life [is] in skin,
Deep love [is] in me, vision [is] in you. [vision==to see HIM in HIS creations]
You said, “Drunkard,” I was offended.
I walked around in the tongue of close friend, [I was gossiped about among close friends]
From branch to branch,
From hal to hal…
I conformed to each one who said,
I heard from each one who said.
The one that says, is the tongue of the close friend,
The one that hits, is the hand of the close friend,
The one who loves is the rose of The Close Friend, I said. [rose==Prophet Mohammad]
I leaned on the demolished wall,
Does the wall carry me? [does the wall bear my weight?]
I conformed to the going of the path. [I conformed to events without any complaint]
I knew that
The one who beats as well as the one who loves
Is from me
Because all life is from HIM.
It does not happen [like that]:
The image of The Beautiful One is not known from [ITS reflection on] the glass [window];
Open your window, look like that.
He wished to come,
He gave with word,
Neyzen walked.

Doubt is dark day of lifetime.
Let us erase [the doubt],
Let us tie [finish] our word like that.

Let us look
Not at his/her state [situation],
But at the surrounding
Of the one who is drunkard.
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.
