TRANSLATION OF THE CHAT/MESSAGE RECEIVED BY GARIB ON 19 FEBRUARY 2010

[Texts written between square brackets and some punctuation are added for the sake of making the meaning clearer.]

BISMILLAHIRAHMANIRAHIM [IN THE NAME OF ALLAH, THE MOST MERCIFUL, THE MOST COMPASSIONATE]

If you sift the flour through the sieve,
You see the most beautiful end.
Saplings got leaves,
Trees got flowers,
Soils got bugs:
Each one's duty is different.

If you do not fall in judgment,
If you do not dig the one that is secret
[then] You head toward your memory,
You wander around the events. [you do not participate in the event; your path is stoneless...]

In each region of the earth
Human sets up his/her own order.
The orders that he/she sets up
Are always useful.
Sun, moon and stars [sun==Prophet Mohammad; moon==Hazrat Ali; star==saint]
Do never disrupt His order;
Does not disrupt, however,
Their places change continuously.
For that [reason]:
Human’s action
Should start with the nature,
With the ones who mature [spiritually] around him/her,
[? With the Ones who are around him/her, ?]
[? With what [the events that] happen around him/her, ?]
[? With WHAT are around him/her, ?]
He/she should find his/her Reality,
He/she should work hand in hand, he/she should work hand in hand.

By whirling and whirling I found earth,
By whirling and whirling I saw Darling.
I asked His saints:
Did you overflow like me?
Did you always work hand in hand on that path?
Did you enthuse about flowing waters?
Each one of them said, “Eyvallah [affirmative].”
“You enter the path of Hak
With your close friends,” they said.
I gave name, I made reservation,
I saw the close friend, I rose [spiritually higher].
Wind came, torrent came,
[yet] The place where we stood
Has never stayed as narrow.

With Mevlana, we burned [in heart],
With Yunus, we came together,
With Hadji Bektas, we worked,
With Meryem and Fatima, [Meryem==Virgin Mary]
We held hand in hand.
We said:
Before adding one to one,
Before holding hand of close friend
Nobody is remedy for anybody,
Nobody knows His path…

I came to bakery,
I asked the baker:
Do you open the lid?
If you see the fire
Do you pass over it?
Baker said:
In order to open the lid
It is necessary to prepare the loaf [of bread].
In order to pass through the fire
It is necessary to jump over it.
You, if you do not know to protect yourself,
You, if you do not use the mind that is given to you
Neither do you find remedy for your trouble
Nor do you become remedy for troubles.

If we take the jug in our hand,
Of course we write the [musical] composition.
What will give life to our mind, to our idea,
What will build bridge on the path of return [to after earth life]
Is your love,
Is your mind,
Is your labor.

Let selam be to all of them.
Let all of us find salvation.

Let selam [peace/greeting] be, let selam be, let selam be.

Allahu Ekber [Allah is The Greatest], Allahu Ekber, Allahu Ekber.

Lailaheillallah Muhammeden Resulullah. [Allah is The only One to be worshiped; we wish to YOU and to Your Representative Mohammad.]


LOVE, SEE & SHARE:

Love all HIS creations;
