7 May 1976
(chat on the day of remembrance of Yunus Emre)
I am Mevlana.
Let us say, “We saw nicely,” [we are welcomed]
Let us share selams. [selam=1. Greeting, 2. Peace; selams=plural of selam]
[in our case, ] There is no one who goes nor who comes.
When “we came” is said,
We say [about] the moment in which we come together.
We give the sun [to you while you are] in shade. [sun==Prophet Mohammad; Prophet Mohammad’s teachings; tree==Mevlana’s congregation; teachings of ONEness of HEARTs]
We said, “Selam,” we shared selam with you.
“Mountain can not cross the mountain.
If there is no deep love, deep lovers can not come together,”
He said, my Yunus entered the word. [he joined the chat]
Even though one said, ‘He/she does not know,’
Ask [about] deep love to deep lover.
Even though one said, ‘It is not eaten [like that],’
Eat the food from [with] spoon.
"I took the quince from the branch,
I asked human about the case,"
He said.
“It happened [before], it will happen [again]:
The soil will be filled with stone.
Its day passed, I consulted:
Stone did not come to soil,
It did not become foundation and it was not filled.
I did not know the future,
I did not see what would happen,”
He said.
To ask human about the day that will come
Is the fault of the one who asks.
The wise one who interprets
Gives of course according to direction.
You can not cover the sun as long as its night does not occur.
You can not push the night as long as its time is not over yet.
Smoke makes you search,
Makes you be looked after by the helper.
If you ask the rose: “Do you have worry?”
“Nonsatisfaction [of human],” it says.
If you say, “How about your thorn?”
“Nonconformity,” it says.
If you say, “Is nonconformity because of The Giver?”
“Never! [it is] Because of the one [human] who criticizes,” it says.
If you give yellow to interpretation,
It stays in softness.
Say to the one who says,
“See if you are not blind, hear if you are not deaf”:
Neither does the blind stay away from seeing,
Nor does the deaf [stay away] from hearing
If he/she fell/falls in deep love,
If he/she embraced/embraces The One Who loves.
Who is The One Who loves?
Who is the one who is loved?
The One Who loves creates,
Makes the one who is loved, search [HIM].
I came to tongue, I gave from tongue.
I entered eye, I saw from there.
I took the hand, I wrote through hand.
I walked around the hearts like in the example of honeycomb.
I said to the one who said,
"Are you bee so that you walk around [like bee],
[so that] You open to the day that is born?":
My word is not in installments: [I say as a whole [openly]]
The One Who gives to bee is HIM as well as
The One Who enters the heart [is HIM].
If you took through the essence,
You find in word.
Turning and turning, I searched my direction,
I combed heart in fading leaf.
I found Darling in every human who said, “Life.”
I saw in them, I saw and I matured [spiritually].
If you say, “What is the value of the one who matures [spiritually]?”
It is WHAT he/she finds.
Let there be no hole in your pocket,
Let it not be filled in pocket that has hole. [? Let hole not fill the pocket. ?]
The one who hears,
Let [him/her] not see you as different from what you are. [i.e. be as you are]
[? Let [him/her] not see you as different from what he/she is him/herself. [i.e. you too be among the ones who hear…] ?]
The one who runs saying, “Darling, Darling,”
Finds saying, “HE is, HE is,”
Returns to birth.
“What is 'return to birth'?” is said.
Birth is cradle to “knowing;”
Birth is threshold to “finding.”
If you say, “Does the one who walks around find?”
Both the one who walks around and the one who discusses find.
Say to the one who says, “What does ‘the one who discusses mean?’”:
“To discuss” does not mean “to dispute,”
But “to chat.”
In the language of branch,
In the language of hal,
On the path of lake,
In the science of sky,
What is meant by “to discuss”
Is 'to have [a] heart-to-heart talk with one [? ONE ?] another.'
Say to the one who says, “Universe [is] beautiful,
The one who chats [is] beautiful,
Where does ugly come from?”:
From the one who has no wideness.
‘The one who has no wideness’ is being asked.
When looking through [a] narrow frame,
You see only where you look at,
You give the measure from there.
If you do not know about its specialty,
You can not see the beauty.
Each creation has its essence and its form.
[for example:]
Door is form,
Essence [is] tree.
For the door that you make from [a] tree that you did not choose,
You [may] say, “Ugly.”
‘Narrow view’ is that.
If you say, “Is there form of each one that is essence?”
Essential takes name from form.
However, whatever name it/he/she takes,
With its/his/her every hal, it/he/she stays in its/his/her essence.
Let the one who hears, come;
Let the one who asks, know;
Let one see who the one who washes [spiritually] is.
Bright night is known to be because of the moon.
When heart burns, IT is seen by the life.
Mirage is known to be in desert;
In desert, heart bends forward.
If the jug was full, [if human's jug was full with spiritual water since birth]
If HIS human could find like that,
If he/she said, “Amazing,” and stayed [like that],
Then there would be need for
Neither path nor traveler nor caravansary nor caravansary boniface… [traveler==human who takes the test on earth; caravansary==dervish lodge; caravansary boniface==mursheed, spiritual guide]
Say to the one who says,
“Let us ask remedy for trouble,
Where do we search and find [it]?”:
Search from The One Who gives the trouble.
The one who asks [about] Darling:
Search [HIS] path.
If he/she says, “I searched, I could not find,”
Voila, trouble is that.
DARLING is in you,
Where are you?
We fell in trouble saying, “Give.”
HE gives to each one who wishes
Yet only to the one who does not call what HE gives, as “trouble.”
Trouble is the mirror of the trouble;
Remedy is the paramour of the trouble.
I am Yunus, I give,
I see the one who says, “Trouble,”
I melt [together] with each one who says [so].
“Are you snow [so that you melt] ya Yunus?” they said,
They teased me.
If they tease, is it trouble?
Otherwise, is our direction four?
“Let us consecrate,” we said,
They said, “Is your rooster too old?” [as if Yunus said, “I consecrate my rooster to God”…]
They criticized my every hal.
[however,] Let it not be forgotten:
They put patch on open hole,
Patch covered my fault,
My love for all of them increased.
To the one who says, “[but] The past day was trouble”:
Each trouble covered my fault.
If it is like that, do we call [it] “trouble”? [if it is like that, how can I call it as trouble?]
[if it is like that] Do we cry [shed tears] on every day of trouble?
If we do not know [The Reality], [then] we cry.
If we know, [then] we enjoy ourself,
We connect our love to all [humans], [we love all humans]
My Yunus said.
Let my Allah be pleased with the ones who remember,
Let them be among the ones who are remembered goodly,
He said, he wished for God-given share for all of you.
Let it not be forgotten:
God-given share is for everyone who wishes,
[however, what we mean by 'God-given share' is]
Of course ‘God-given share of The Meaning.’
Let depression not find you,
Let ‘longing for’ not stay in you.
When hand finds hand,
When eye looks in eye,
When “selam is from Darling” is said, [selam: 1. greeting, 2. peace.]
Plead also for the one whose hand is not in hand.
Call the one who does not give his/her hand
To unity too.
Hand of close friend does not burn,
Tongue of close friend does not demolish.
Neither storm nor torrent uproots the tree that is planted by close friend’s hand.
Beautiful [is] HIM,
Beautiful [is] the one who knows HIM,
Beautiful [is] the one who loves the one who/that comes from HIM,
Beautiful [is] the one who teaches to love to the one who does not know.
[however,] The teaching occurs not with tongue but with hal.
Crossing [of it] is not difficult.
The path that you will cross
Does never leave you alone.
I am Mevlana,
Come, see,
Lay the pileless carpet onto the green grass.
What is real in human is the root,
Neither stone [that uproots] nor planter that uproots is found. [no one can uproot human's root…]
Say to the one who says,
“Rope is stretched in between,
Curtain of secrecy is hung [from the rope]”:
Neither is curtain in us,
Nor is vision in you. [vision==to see HIM in HIS creations]
Do not be mistaken: fault is not said,
It has never been given from the curtain that does not open;
Yet each event is opened day by day,
As such one passes from day to day.
Future causes curiosity.
What is hoped for?
Where is it from?
Even if you know, you can not solve the day that you did not live on [yet];
Even if you see, you can not pass the direction that is said about.
Only, when its day will come, on [that] day direction will be yours.
What is written is yours, it is not crossed [out];
However, it is not solved before its day comes.
Let us know our day,
Let us thank God for each hal.
Be entrusted to my Allah.
Goodbye.
Lailaheillallah Muhammedur Resulullah. [Allah is The only One to be worshiped, and Mohammad is HIS Representative.]
11 May 1976
I am Mevlana.
Eat sip by sip. [spiritual knowledge is taken not like eating morsel by morsel but like eating sip by sip...]
I conformed to my promise,
I wished, I came,
I started the day’s interpretation.
Issue: he/she does not ask you about the new one. [the new one==ONEness of HEARTs]
At the place where it is said, “He/she does not mature [spiritually],”
Sand’s path is not seen. [there is no soft path]
No curtain is hung at the door that is opened.
In every human whom you respect,
On every path that you conform to,
Let you know HIM,
Let you see HIM.
You do not ask cause,
You do not say, “Why?”
You are responsible for
Neither the one who/that passes
Nor the one who/that runs away.
The moment in which you say,
“I conformed to the writing, I knew like that,”
You see the one that will happen as beautiful.
You ask [about] the door that is opened.
I said before: no curtain is stretched [hung].
Look for worry in the one who does not know HIM.
The Meaning does not enter the narrowness.
If human knows the one that is written,
Then he/she does not worry about the one that happens.
The one who has loaf [of bread] as his/her God-given share,
Does not sell basket.
What the one who says, “It is enough if I know The Reality,” [the one who is content with learning about The Reality only superficially]
Does not know
Is that his/her day enters the worry.
Do not forget:
Worry is created by human too.
The measure of the sky
Is the reality of your eye.
You conformed to birth, [you were born on earth]
You searched path to [spiritual] maturation;
Then why did you fall in worry when stopping?
Do not say, “If I knew to come to my senses.”
Each event that you appropriate to yourself
Is indeed because of your writing. [? Is because of your writing in The Reality. ?]
If it is like that,
To say “if I knew to come to my senses” is inappropriate.
Three pieces are left in your hand:
“Let which one be the trump?” you say.
Trump is the one that is in your hand
Not the one that is in your tongue,
Not at all the one that is on your path.
What you call as difficult
Is not powerful when it comes.
“Is there migration?” you say.
There isn’t.
One looks at the writing;
It is said with the permission of The Giver.
“What is meant by migration?” is said.
I said: trump is the one that is in your hand.
It will be given to the interpretation of the day,
It will be embroidered like in the example of embroidery. [you'll discover the answer of your question when its time comes; for now, be content with what you understand...]
Somuncu says: [Somuncu==Sufi saint who lived in the 14th century]
Let us know to eat,
Let us laugh at tomorrow. [let us be happy with what we eat, let us be hopeful about tomorrow]
How does
The one who can not take his/her eye[s] from the moon
Look at the sun, row on the ocean? [moon==Hazrat Ali; sun==Prophet Mohammad; ocean==God]
Do not say, “I missed the ship.”
The moment in which you arrive,
You are in the ship.
“You gave the mirror to my hand,
You put my heart on HIS path;
You took my hand,
And then suddenly you left it,” you say.
The one who takes your hand
Does not leave [it].
He/she sews the patch at the place where it is necessary,
Pours into your heart from the [divine] wine.
The moment in which you say,
“I am sad, I am left as separated,”
You should know that the one whom you wish for
Is next to you.
Let you find what you search,
Let you throw away the stone that is on your lap.
“I can not go on soft path,
I can not divide [disperse] if I see smoke,”
You say.
Do you not say that each event is from HAK?
Do you not try to conform?
If it is like that, do we say that events are stone[s]?
What is in your hand is not temporary but recorded.
“It does not make [spiritually] mature,” you say.
“It is embroidered like in the example of embroidery,” I said.
Do not say, “Did I see the new one?”
To [for] each shadow that is temporary.
Deer is the one that gives
Not from tongue
But from heart.
“Is it the one that/who is traveler?” you say.
No.
Vision is either on HIS earth or in depth.
If you say, “Is it the one?”
No.
“My bright day is the day on which I am tied to my God-given share,” you say.
Your God-given share is not solved yet.
To the one who is next to us,
To the one who asks about grapevine:
Do not run away from hard ground, [? Do not run away on hard ground, ?]
Do not take offense saying, “What will happen?”
Existence is equal to nonexistence.
There are all kinds of days.
Yesterday does not conform to today.
Today does not know tomorrow,
Human does not erase the worry.
Say, “We are at [a] time that is equivalent to sun,” [sun==Prophet Mohammad; the new one==ONEness of HEARTs]
Search the new one like that.
“I took bundle, let me put in order.
Let me see what will happen.
Let me give to the one who will take.
Let me put heart in endless [let me fall in love with endless],”
You say.
Is there any human [who is] without OWNER?
Let you be at ease, let you say:
“My Owner is The Lofty One.”
We gave [told about] the specialty of the water,
The beauty of the path,
You know.
Do not say,
“Four walls do not give path.”
My Allah is together with HIS human even [when HIS human is] within four walls.
On the day that is called as cold, you long for hot;
On the day that comes as hot, you grab the ice.
You talk about winter in summer,
You talk about summer in winter.
On the day that passes, you open the page…
The one that is yours is the one that is mine.
The one that is mine is the one that comes to you.
IT is The One That gives night [and] day,
[IT is The One] That rolls up with all [humans],
[IT is The One] That prepares one's meal table,
[IT is The One] That shares with all [humans] what one eats-gives.
It is of course not one’s Owner, but The One That is in the service of its/his/her OWNER.
Let it not be forgotten:
Each creation is on duty.
[We think that previous verses are about HIS LIGHT and HIS Particles [matter-light] That HE shows us...]
Connection of the soft path to the new one: [the new one==ONEness of HEARTs' teachings]
Specialty is seen in one’s/its being,
Beauty is seen in the specialty,
One’s/its name is given like that.
We wrote-we gave,
We filled pages.
Did you erase [them] and throw [them] away?
[or]
Did you turn [your back] and sleep?
On your earth day, our giving is permanent.
Did you find the bridge that you say about, "We did not cross,"
As inappropriate?
Quilt is necessary to cover,
Wood [is necessary] to burn.
Every path that is necessary,
Is open to HIS human.
[spiritual] Immaturity does not come from us.
The one who is said about, “He/she does not mature [spiritually],”
If it is written [by HIM that he/she matures, then],
[his/her heart door] Does not stay as closed.
Be entrusted to my Allah.
Goodbye.
