ONEness of HEARTs
VOLUME 3
Part 58

18 October 1977

I am Mevlana.
We saw Beautiful,
We knew Beautiful,
We chose Beautiful.
In each event, we conformed to The Beautiful.

Let selam [peace/greeting] be to all of you,
Let the one who comes
Know that he/she takes. [? Know WHAT he/she takes. ?]
Let him/her love the writing in [musical] composition, [musical composition==events that happen, that Allah creates in matter environment; the writing==destiny that Allah traces in every moment]
Let him/her laugh at the wave at sea,
Let him/her stay without question,
She said, Meryem entered the word. [Meryem joined the chat] [Meryem=Virgin Mary]
In branch and in hal, the law of The Beautiful One [The Meaning],
On path and on mountain, the law of The Special One [The Matter]
Are read,
[similar to how]
Pileless carpet is weaved on loom.

Human keeps away from where, from whom?
When he/she climbs the lofty mountain,
He/she looks around saying, “Beautiful,”
She said, she greeted.

“Let us see salvation in good deed,
Let us say,
‘Let our divine merit be abundant,’”
He said, my Yunus took the word.
The one who searches crime in the bandit,
The one who asks for wine to the cupbearer
Says,
“I entered the precaution because of hal,”
Becomes one of the ones who complain.
What is meant by ‘complaining,’
Is to search crime in the bandit.
If we wish to search crime,
Let us turn to ourselves only.
Let us set up accountancy in our heart
About our faults, our good deeds.
If we say,
“Fault is in you,
Good deed is in me,”
Then we fall in the judgment of the event,
He said, my Yunus greeted.

No fault occurs in effort. [effort is not considered as fault]

Human is not filled without loving.
Human who loves, does not fade.
If you say, “Concrete evidence”:
You say, “Mevlana, Yunus,”
In each moment, you remember [them] very freshly.
We say eyvallah to what is said about:
We remembered, we came,
We loved, you knew.
We embrace hearts.

We said, “Hay,” [hay==human separating his/her heart from his/her body]
We stayed alive.
To the one who said, “Temperament,”
We said, “Irresponsibility.”

The Creator gives The Beautiful One [that is] in The Beautiful One.
If human says, “Ugly,”
He/she stays as [spiritually] immature in his/her heart.

WHAT makes the leaf come into being, [leaf==human]
WHAT makes the ones who love, come together is
Neither you nor me
But only The One Who loves.
We loved, we will love,
We will praise with every hal.
We will enter intensive work [while holding] hand in hand,
From Beautiful to BEAUTIFUL.

If I take deer, if I am filled with love,
If I gave writing pages and pages [long],
If I entered the word in each heart,
Neither would the day be enough
Nor would the word end.

I did not see the narrow path,
I said, “Smoke,” I did not enter.
I did not separate shah and slave. [I did not discriminate between shah and slave]

The one who is order [orderliness] in the surrounding,
The one who visits each home,
The one who forms with his essence, door to The Building
Came to word:
Hadji Bayram stood on flat.
Let it be face to Face,
[let it be] Face to knee;
Let knee be on earth,
Let mind be at the summit.
Let us present the wine,
Let us drink,
Let us be satiated.
Let us be satiated, let us burn [in heart],
Let us turn face to Face,
He said, Hadji Bektas greeted.

“We said, ‘Darling,’ we gave head.
We took the word from The One Who embraces.
We burned in the fire of wood,
We were purified,”
He said, my Hallac stood by the word. [Hallac=Mansur al-Hallaj, a Sufi saint who lived in the late 9th and early 10th century]
Word opens word, [==humans chat among themselves on superficial subjects]
Human runs away from The Reality.
He/she thinks that he/she runs away,
He/she hits stone,
He/she falls down.
When he/she falls, if he/she pleads [with HIM],
His/her pleading finds its place, [his/her pleading would be accepted by HIM]
He said, he greeted.

Building makes known the craftsman, [building shows the skill of the craftsman who built it]
Door [makes known] the deep lover;
How does [would] HE let the door be opened by the one who is not in deep love?
He said, my Veled greeted. [Veled=Sultan Walad was the son of Hazrat Mevlana Rumi]

We said, “My Allah,”
We wished for HIS consent for all of you.
Let my Allah be pleased,
Let the one who loves, find the one who loves.

There is delight in one’s remorse.
About the door of the delight,
Do not say, “It is narrow.”
Eyvallah to the darling who comes, who passes.

Spiritual Meaning is necessary for the writing,
[similar to how]
Hoe [is necessary] for digging.

Ask the rose and the nightingale about the morning,
Let them tell you,
If you [can] understand…
Let nightingale start to talk,
Let it say, if you [can] listen.

Our path is open
If your heart enjoys,
If you do not say, “Difficulty,” and take the paths.
What is meant by ‘heart enjoys,’
Is to please others,
Is to see delight in pleasing,
Is to give your hand without saying, “[you are] Blind,” [vision==to see HIM in HIS creations]
Is to enter the chat without saying, “[you are] Deaf.”

In whatever language you say, HE takes your word.

The leaf that does not take [leaf==human]
Is shed on the [HIS] path.

My word is to the one who says, “Did unripe grape ripen?”:
Grape ripened,
Wine
Entered the jug,
Took its place in the cellar,
Is kept in secrecy.
In its secrecy, there is the essence of the one that comes.

In your deep love there is the word of The Lofty One.

When word comes to word, [when our chats are deciphered/when one digests the chats]
When HIS human who loves, matures spiritually,
[then] One talks
About the curtain of the eye that sees, [vision==to see HIM in HIS creations]
About the song of the tongue that says.

If we knew to come to our senses
It is
Because we took the mirror in our hand,
Because we presented the wine to the one who loves.

In the east and in the west,
The flower of The Reality blooms.
HIS each human,
When he/she takes the mirror [while holding] hand in hand,
Runs to Darling.

We became one of the ones who love,
Elhamdulillah. [Praise to God]
With Darling we found DARLING,
Elhamdulillah.
We found ONEness
In the language of kal,
In the direction of HAK,
Elhamdulillah.
We passed 'you/I,' [we reached ‘we/us’ i.e. ONEness]
We chose the correct through heart,
Elhamdulillah.
“Let us drink the ‘ayran’ from you,” [ayran=drink made of yogurt and water]
You say,
You wish for what my RAB presents:
We took [from HIM], we gave [you],
Elhamdulillah.
We dived into HIS watching [we watched HIM] [vision==to see HIM in HIS creations]
Without haram being said,
Without seeing as incomplete,
Without falling in love with the disorderly [order],
Elhamdulillah.

Somuncu took the word, [Somuncu=a Sufi saint who lived in the 14th century, and whose real name was Hamid Hamiduddin. ‘Somuncu’ means ‘loaf of bread maker.’ He used to make bread and distribute to the ones who wished for it…]
“Ya Allah!” he said, [ya Allah==thank YOU for my God-given share, I accept without any complaint]
He entered the essence.
Let my Allah be pleased
With the one who comes, who knows,
With the one who remembers from day to day.
You came, you greeted,
Let my Allah be pleased with your greeting.
“Let one take my word in three directions,” he said:
It will be seen
That he/she takes HIS [spiritual] water,
That he/she gives what he/she takes.
Cotton yarn will be weaved as linen.
‘Helva’ will be mixed at his/her table, with each hal. [helva=sweet made from cereals, pine nuts, sesame oil and honey]
Let selam [peace/greeting] be to the one who knows.
We are remembered,
Let him/her be from the ones who are remembered [too],
He said, he greeted.
He took from tongue,
He gave from hand,
He distributed loaf [of bread] to the one who wished.
He greeted.


Let us be ember, let us burn,
Let us say snow, let us freeze;
With every hal,
Let us see The Beautiful One.
Let us love,
Let us be loved,
Let us say,
“Salvation is in love.”

If you do not eat hard loaf [of bread],
If you do not inquire about other person’s situation,
Who gives from whom to whom?
Who comes from you to me?
If the society does not connect the word to you,
If it does not find the correct from you,
[then] Turn your path to flat,
He said, my Yunus took the word.
Let one not say,
“Is my path from the ones that are curved?”
The one that comes to you as straight [flat] [if you think that it is flat, then it]
Is of course correct.
Yet the one who sees differently
Is HIS human too.
HE makes his/her path turn,
HE makes the one who is faulty, find.
With saz, [saz=a stringed musical instrument]
With word,
We knew the earth with trump.
The one who does not walk
Before taking the trump in hand,
Before finding the path on flat
Is HIS human [too].

The One That is in you,
Is HE not in him/her?

The one who comes from HAK,
The one who knows HAK
Is the one who loves.
Yet all of them are the ones who are loved.
Let my Allah be pleased with all of you,
He said, my Yunus walked.

[similar to how]
[each] Filament of hair is counted [slowly and slowly, with patience],
Deep love spreads to heart [like that],
Human comes to his/her senses all together [with one another].
Let us be from the ones who come to their senses.
Let us pour the deep love
Not to word
But to heart.

I am Mevlana.
If you do not see Beauty,
If you do no see as Magnificent
[then] You would not love the earth,
You would not say, “Life [is] This.”

Earth’s order [orderliness]
Wearies the degenerate,
Makes the one who promenades, love,
Makes known The One Who writes.

There is sound of the water that hits,
There is decoration of the water that stands still,
There is mourning of muddy water.

[if]
There is no judgment in the giving [if human does not fall in judgment about the giving of HAK]
[then]
No interrogation stays in the creation. [then human would not have any interrogation during migration to after earth life…]

If conformity is seen in The Order, [if one conforms to The Order/to events]
If one finds satiety in the universe,
[then]
Why is ‘coming,’ ‘going,’ ‘worrying’?

Food is not eaten before cooking,
[if it is eaten, then:]
Its taste does not come to mouth.
You say, “Lamb,” you love,
How do you eat [it] without cooking?
You look at the fish like that too.
Order [orderliness] goes as it is set up.
Shepherd herds lamb only.
In the structure of the interpretation,
The development of [spiritual] maturity is present.
It is necessary that the wood burns
In order to become coal;
It is necessary that it takes spark
In order to become ember.

You wear lovingly the cloth
Of which you love the pattern.
You do not glance at,
You do not touch with hand
The one for which you say, “I did not like.”
If you do not like [it], is it not beautiful?
It is [was] weaved saying, “Beautiful.” [the one who weaved it thought that that pattern was beautiful...]
And that one, it is written as destiny:
It comes as difficult to the one who reads.
Iron is worked at the right temperature:
It comes as difficult
Not to the blacksmith
But to the one who watches.

The one who finds path to the fort
[and goes uphill toward the fort]
Is the one who looks around saying, “Beautiful.”

We had given the purple color,
"The summit of the deep love," we had said.
Mountains
That are very faraway,
That look as if they can not be reached
Are wrapped in purple color.
[yet] When gone step by step,
There is no place that is not reached.
If you say, “Let me run,”
[then] You get exhausted, you can not arrive.
[however,] If you have set the intention up,
You can not stop.
You can not lay pileless carpet at the muddy place;
“Let there be green grass,
Let my heart find contentment,” you say.
Like that, you reach [there] step by step.
Yet it is first necessary to know the colors,
It is necessary to enter from color to color.
Beyond orange [color] is red,
Beyond red [is] purple.
However, let us not fall in fault: [let us not make mistake]
No color is less valuable than the other one.
The mountain that looks like unreachable
Represents only the distance.
Green color opens arms to every creation. [green==LIGHT color of Prophet Mohammad]
Without saying ‘rich-poor,’
Without separating [as] ‘ugly-beautiful,’
Green is the one that embraces,
Purple is the one that [? The One That ?] makes [one] long for,
Is the one that [? The One That ?] looks after the one that you long for.

Respect in slave,
Love in shah
Are known.
Neither is slave [known] as slave, without shah
Nor is shah [known] as shah, without slave.
Let us know the places [of humans]
Not according to value
But as component. [i.e. part of the whole]
Individuals make the society, one;
If there are no individuals,
There is no society,
Persons do not find their places.
There is independency in component,
[there is] Irresponsibility in person,
[there is] Unconsciousness in individual.
Even though it makes known singularity,
What is searched in singularity is not independency.
Since we set up in [as] intention 'to hold hand in hand,'
Then let us want its foundation.
To start the foundation of the duty,
To gather the ones who are on duty
Is set up on the day by intention;
“It is in The Power of my Allah,” is said.
The value that is in duty [is]:
To bring the day’s interpretation to zero [additive].
To show the one who wishes
How to look at The Beautiful One without additive
Is not as difficult as it is scared of.
Because all HIS humans,
Thanks to one’s [human’s] structure,
Want peace.
As a result of such a foundation,
There is no need to be called.
The one who wants will come
To take his/her place in the foundation,
To find the peace,
To spread the peace that he/she finds.
To be 'only taker,' offends my Allah.
What is meant by ‘offense’ is not difficulty:
HE does not love the one who always takes.
The one who takes, should give,
What he/she takes, should stay in his/her possession.[i.e. when he/she gives what he/she takes [i.e. The Meaning], what he/she took still stays with him/her [because love and knowledge multiply when shared...]]

We gave before:
Do not separate as ‘the one who knows’-‘the one who does not know.’
Even the one who does not know
Gives to the one who knows:
He/she teaches [him/her] that
He/she does not know the most difficult one.

Duty is problematic;
If you can not give what you take,
You stay as loaded,
You walk on the path slowly
Because what you take is entrusted [to you].
If you say,
“I did not want,
Why do I take load?”
Because human who is chosen
Is
Not from us
But from The Lofty One. [he/she is chosen not by us, but by HIM]

Does fruit fall from the branch?
Does chicken dig the soil?
“There is no need to ask:
Both it falls and it digs,” he said,
My Yunus came to word.

Meryem gave her greeting. [Meryem=Virgin Mary]
Fight does not occur without reason;
Adversary does not stay without judgment.
At the moment [of fight]
Both of them do not love one another.
However,
If the giving of the one who comes in between [to separate them]
Is abundant,
If his/her love is free, [i.e. if he/she does not favor one over the other one]
He/she separates the one who is adversary.
HE spins [human] like in the example of wool,
HE gives his/her wool ball to his/her hand, [wool ball==lifetime on earth]
In knitting, HE makes them come as equal to one another.

Love makes ONEness be set up.

Time is temporary,
Human is of course migrant.
If human is taker, giver in hal of earth,
When he/she arrives [in after earth life],
He/she is finder of The most Beautiful.

Word is given
Not from basket
But because of reason.
Tongue with The Beautiful One,
Hal with The Beautiful One
Are given.
Reasons are secrets of my Allah.
In our word, The Reality
Is given page by page,
Is connected to HIS human’s intention.

You throw the fishing line
To take fish,
[however,] You catch the one that is in your God-given share.
Because it is not in accordance with what you know:
You take step to what you conform to.

If the surrounding does not wrap [embrace],
It is not the fault of the face.

Our coming, our giving is to all [humans].
Let it not be said,
“Let it be tried,
Let it be given to the one who knows.”
What the one who knows, knows
Is at the place where he/she reads.
What the one who loves, gives
Is at the place where HE [? he/she ?] weaves.
[what the one who loves]
Says about, "I heard,"
Is The One Who comes to his/her pleading.
[what the one who loves]
Says about, "The One Whom I saw," [vision==to see HIM in HIS creations]
Is The One Who enters HIS chat;
When it is like that
HE is The One Who displays in the universe.

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

21 October 1977

I am Mevlana.
In the being of the interpretation
There is the love that comes
From the narrowness of HIS human.
Let there be no questioning of the one that passed;
In the step that is taken to the day that comes,
Let it be known as door to The Building.

The one who finds his/her value in iron [human who is spiritually educated [with events] similar to how iron is worked on]
Is the one who is prepared to coming day
Like in the example of gold. [gold==The Meaning]
Is The Building entered without door?
Your [spiritual] maturation is built;
Yet only when you open your heart door,
It is entered inside. [There are two ways to spiritual maturation: 1. Through the heart thanks to the teachings of ONEness of HEARTs, or 2. Through events similar to how iron is worked...]

What is meant by grape?
[spiritual] Maturation never ends.
The Building is the one that is started.
Hut is also building.
[yet] Magnificent Building’s construction
Is long too.
[when] Building ends,
Its decoration starts.
Yes, your building.
Its good deed is a lot.

We gave before:
Let us not claim the ownership.
“Do we give to everybody?” you say.
What will transform the events into display is that:
Not the one that comes from oneself-from you,
But the one that comes from The Lofty One.
To the one who will benefit,
One transfers by means of publication.

Wherever Garib is
The center is there.
This is not secret but open.
We said, “Wherever Garib is,”
We did not say any location.
Whenever it is necessary to say,
We say.

Do not put worry in your heart;
There is good deed in every event.
Beauties will open page by page. [beauties==The Meaning of the chats]
[? Beauties will open leaf by leaf. ?] [leaf==human]

In our love, let us not give place to additive.
In additive
There is bargaining,
There is commerce.
Let us love without additive.


Meryem has her place in the new one. [Meryem==Virgin Mary]
From human to human,
She continuously gives.
She is always with you in sea, on land, in air.


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.
