I am Mevlana.
To see the beauty on the face
Is to weave the decoration with word[s].
To see the flower bud on its tree, is to spade its root.
If you do not spade its root, you can not see its flower bud.
To talk about the beauty that one can not have enough of admiring
Is to gather in moment at a place that is beautiful.
Let greeting be to all of you.
Let our chat find its place.
You crossed all humans, you dug the foundation, you measured the wall,
You left the outcome veiled.
Let me say the outcome:
To go back to beginning [means], to start from the foundation;
We drew the rose,
The foundation is the book that is given,
The foundation is the Koran.
Its walls are his four caliphs.
When we say, “Let us all conform to our Prophet,”
Let us make our structure claim the ownership of
Not his word,
But his every hal.
Upon his [? HIS ?] foundation,
Let us build our own heart walls.
“We became drunk [with joy], we knew his word, we took [it] in heart,” we say.
For what we take, what do we thank God with?
To take with tongue, to give with tongue is not the foundation of human.
One takes with hal, one puts in heart.
Only my Allah and HIS human know that.
The moment in which you say,
“I took, I gave, I saw HIS humans,
I looked after [them] according to my power,”
Is the moment in which you make yourself into [a] package.
Neither what you give, nor the one whom you look after is yours;
Both The One Who looks after and The One Who gives, is HIM.
However, HE gives by means of the hand of the human that HE wishes;
HE looks after by means of the eye of the one that HE wishes;
You are not there.
“The moment in which you make [it] fall in word, is the moment you are packed,” I say.
Is it seen that the tree praises itself for its giving?
If you say, “Does it know to praise itself?”
If HE wished, it would learn;
Similar to how animals protect their cubs,
Tree would conceal its fruit too.
Why is the climbing of the ladder, difficult,
Whereas its descent comes as easy?
Because of its trouble.
[it is the same for the spiritual ladder:]
Think about what you will see after you climb so that
You do not complain about the difficulty. [while climbing think about the Beauty That you will see at the summit, then you would not complain]
My Yunus says:
I loved pain because it drew me near my Darling;
For the one who knows, it is HIS favor.
For the one who does not know, it is his/her pain.
When my path became longer, when tiredness wrapped my body,
I found pleasure without thinking of complaining.
I saw various living beings that I gave HIS path.
The place at which I saw, I matured [spiritually] once more.
Why?
Because of thanking HIM for HIS giving.
If HE gives less, 'Thank YOU.'
Both 'less' is from HIM and 'a lot' is from HIM.
I used to say, “Let the one that is less be in me, let the one that is a lot [be] in all humans,”
[this is how] I used to be prayerful.
With life, one arrives in Darling,
In Darling, one stays as One.
When you say, “Let me take Your [spiritual] water, let me come to the source,”
You do not stay without God-given share:
Your jug is given to your hand,
You are brought near to the water,
“Fill your jug,” is said.
'To fill [your jug]' is yours. [it is up to you how much you fill]
You take your water,
“My God-given share is from YOU, my Allah,” you say,
As much as you wish, you drink;
Neither does your water lessen, nor is your source cut off.
Let you present to the one who wishes, let you not be scared that it lessens.
I am Mevlana.
What the day brings to the nest [nest==Mevlana's/Garib's congregation]
Is what my Yunus talks about.
What is seen in wholeness, let it not be erased with doubt.
Let one not look at its surface with doubt,
Let one not say, “It [earth] walks around its pole.”
It is neither on its surface only nor its pole only;
“All universe,” we said.
Universe is in heart;
Hearts are all one, in HIM.
“When doomsday occurs, what is the state [situation] of the earth?” is said.
Similar to how human becomes nonexistent while there is his/her body,
What earth, sun, moon and stars will become
Is nonexistence too.
[it is] In Reality not nonexistence but return [to HIM].
After perceiving
HIS giving, HIS judgment, HIS vision
With body,
Arrival in HIM is birth.
You digest intense work with rest.
If you say, “How?”
When you do even the work with [an] aim,
When your work gets on the path of solution, [when your work progresses in the positive direction]
You give yourself to rest, [you have a rest]
You observe [re-evaluate] the work that you do,
Saying, “Is there [a] mistake or not?”
You try to cover [correct] the mistake that was made,
Then it gets in order.
[however,]
If you try to conceal [it],
Then it appears suddenly in front of you on the day that you do not expect.
For that [reason], each human,
Whether it is on the path of matter, or on the path of meaning,
Should observe [re-evaluate] him/herself,
Should try to correct the mistakes, not to cover [them] up.
The moment in which he/she does like that,
Is the moment he/she is born.
The birth is the arrival.
If you say, “One does not arrive without knowing,”
What is it that you want to know?
HIS Persona or HIS Attribute?
Is “to know” not arriving in HIM?
It should not be thought that
My Yunus
Lets you leave HIS path,
Lets your arm that he holds, go. [if you are on HIS path, and Yunus gave hand to you, he will not let you down [he will help you]]
Even if his table is poor,
He did never see anybody as worthless.
He found the richness in his/her heart.
With what he found, he conformed to “oneness of heart.”
He said, “Let greeting be to all of you.”
Let all of you be entrusted to my Allah,
Let you find HAK in the matter as well as in the meaning.
Goodbye.
Lailaheillallah Muhammedur Resulullah. [Allah is The only One to be worshiped, and Mohammad is HIS Representative.]
19 April 1973
I am Mevlana.
In the foundation of the nest [nest==Mevlana's/Garib's congregation]
In the wish of all humans,
There is assemblage.
Every thing from the existence, fills the space.
Each human, in his/her heart,
For the one that does not conform,
“It is unnecessary,” he/she says, [and] gets rid [of it].
The one who puts the light shoe on, is the one who sets the intention for [to go on] the path. [to put the light shoe on==to follow the footprints of Prophet Mohammad]
The building is not without foundation;
The foundation is not left as mud.
One does not enter the door that is not opened.
The event that has not happened, is not asked about saying, “How will it come?”
Even if skill may be seen in effort, outcome belongs to the one who has God-given share.
In the game that you play,
You think about what you will take, about what you will give;
[accordingly,] You check your own effort.
You keep human responsible of the stone that falls;
Let it not be forgotten that there is no responsible one [human] in events. [Allah creates all events]
If you do not think about the one that passed,
If you do not consult about the one that will come,
Do you change the one that will happen?
My word belongs to the one who takes [it], [and] who owns [it].
The one that is sought with poison, is the interrogation of the death.
However, the one that is called “poison,” if it stays in measure, it is antidote.
If you say, “How come?”
If you think of the contribution of The One Who gave the house of the body,
[then] You [can] find.
Why is the harm of the smoke?
The moment in which you become distant from HAK,
Smoke warns human;
Then poison becomes antidote.
For the bunch of leaf [leaves],
For the music of the song,
You say, “It is beautiful.”
You peel the leaf off its branch;
Whose crime is “staying [without leaf] of the branch”? [when the branch is left without leaf, whose crime would that be?]
If you peeled the leaf because it was necessary,
[then] No interrogation of the branch stays. [then the branch will not blame/interrogate you]
If you peel the leaf only because you like [it],
Your crime, its day comes, it saddens you.
In each bud, think of the trunk of the tree, [remember that each bud would grow to a tree]
Think of the ones who will take shelter in [the shade of] the trunk of the tree.
Think of The One Who gives to all humans.
If you are within all humans,
When your pleading is for all humans,
Then you are also included.
First, all humans.
You exist together with all humans.
We gave [give] work as example:
[a] Tree that has abundant fruits, is it [ever] seen being without owner?
Be at ease, let you erase the worry from heart.
To The Founder of The Existence,
To The Protector of the Koran,
We said, “My Allah,”
We admired [HIM] deeply.
When honey is in tongue, when rose is in human, when deep love is in heart,
The place of the human is at the [spiritual] chat table.
Let us walk hand in hand, let us protect each human.
Let us sift the sand to remove the stone, let us wish for all humans.
Let us not cut one of the four legs of the table.
Let us not run after the one whose foot is disabled.
Let us not be amazed at the one who says, “Your ear does not hear.”
Let us know The One Who gives, let us not say, “It does not happen.”
Among the “namaz” that is performed in small mosque, [namaz==praying while prostrating]
The one that is performed from heart is preferred.
Even if you circumambulate the Kaaba,
You can not make your fault in namaz be erased.
If it is said, “What is the fault?”
It is the namaz that confuses human.
What is expected from patience?
Patience is among the attributes of my Allah,
If HE made [it] your God-given share too.
Think
Not of the reward that human will give,
But of what my Allah will give.
The reward that human will give
Pleases [you] on [earth] day.
The reward that my Allah will give
Pleases [you] at your migration [time], it is forever.
"Let your head that you do not bend, touch the ground,
Let him/her mix the flour and the water, add its syrup,
Let him/her distribute to all humans,” he said.
The one who takes [understands our chat[s]], knows [The Meaning].
[our chat] It is said to all of you [to all humans];
The one [who does not take but] who is offended, is he/she mistaken?
If fields turn green,
Humans say, “Spring [season] came.”
The one that spring brings, the one that torrents take away,
The one that human waits as God-given share
Is the one that he/she has been pleading for in each moment.
If HE gives, he/she will take, human will be saved from hunger.
My Lofty God created, looked after HIS each human.
Is it not irrelevant to wait saying, “If it does not happen?”
Why is the pleading of virtuous human acceptable?
[because] He/she wishes with all humans [for all humans].
The one that is asked, is not judged.
One does not doubt HIS addition.
What is the giving of the sun, where is it?
What is the giving of the waters, where are they?
The giving of the sun is the display of the life.
The display of the waters is the giving to the hearts. [[spiritual] waters==chats of ONEness of HEARTs]
The existence of the star, erases the narrowness from hearts.
[sun==Prophet Mohammad; water==spiritual water, i.e. chats of Mevlana and other saints; star==saint]
Let you be entrusted to my Allah.
Goodbye.
Lailaheillallah Muhammedur Resulullah. [Allah is The only One to be worshiped, and Mohammad is HIS Representative.]
2 May 1973
I am Mevlana.
No pen is taken from unexpected world. [pen==chat]
One does not return from the path that is taken,
The [heart] fire that burns is not extinguished.
Let greeting be to all of you.
Each one who takes HIS path, let him/her know the universe.
Neither let the heart stay in the one that passed [forget about the past event],
Nor let one worry about the one that comes. [do not worry about the future events]
Let our eye look for cloud in the horizon,
Let one find the blessing in the cloud.
Let us be indifferent to our ego. [let us not be under the influence of our ego]
Handkerchief does not fill the pocket.
The food that you do not eat, does not go to your stomach.
Human does not set his/her intention up saying, “Bad.” [The one who does not merit being human, sets up his/her intention saying, 'Bad.']
He/she does not hang dirty linen on the rope.
We took soft path, we all have been example for human. [? We took soft path, we all have been human example. ?]
If you say, “Is our migration the arrival?”
“Let your intention be [set for] peace,” I say.
In peace, there is forgiveness.
In forgiveness, there is erasure.
In erasure, there is 'knowing.'
In knowing, there is 'seeing.'
See whatever you wish,
Love whatever you see.
In love, there is 'wishing.'
Let there be no complaint of yours about the one that surrounds you.
Let it not be said, "It blocks my path.”
Let it not be forgotten that there is support.
Let one take from each wine that is presented;
It should be known [that it is] in the name of HAK.
Whatever is presented, is from HAK.
As long as it comes from HAK,
If HE wishes, let HIM even give muddy water,
Let us drink that too,
Let us say, “HAK separates the mud.”
If you take dried cow dung in your hand, of course your hand gets dirty.
[however,] It should not be forgotten that this dirt is external:
Water cleans it.
Let my Allah not let HIS human fall
In dirt that does not clean.
If you say, “Does my Allah let HIS human fall
In dirt that does not clean?”
The one who knows my Allah, does not fall.
The dirt that does not clean is the dirt of heart.
The heart of the one
Who takes the mirror in hand, and holds the bright face toward him/herself
And the dark face toward someone else
Is dirty.
One should think about
Not the one that happened,
But the one that will happen.
One should turn the page of the day that passed.
One finds what he/she deserves.
Do not say, “Of course he/she hits his/her foot to stone.”
Do not seek human’s fault in the worry that he/she fell in.
Let each human find his/her own mistake,
Let him/her beg my Allah’s pardon.
In any case, the stone that trips the foot makes human find the right one,
Lifts [lessens] the distance that is in between.
In battlefield where there is fight,
Two opponents are seen.
One says, “Hero,” for the one who wins the fight;
Why it is not said [“hero”] for the one who loses?
The one who fights is hero
As long as you are on HAK’s path, even if he/she is [even if you are] defeated.
There is hikmet in his/her defeat.
We love the nightingale because of its voice, the tree because of its fruit;
If there is no fruit, [we love it] because of its shade.
If there is none of these because of HIS fire.
We love the [spiritual] water because of HIS ocean, [ocean==God]
We even find [the ocean] from its drop.
If I am drop, if I stay in space,
If I cry for help saying, “Ocean,”
Who hears me, who conforms to me?
When drops become one,
When the rain comes down like that,
Creeks fill, rivers flow.
Do we say, “Let the ONE That is sought, be found”?
Of course we do not say, why?
Without knowing its cause, it torments human;
“Let me be one with You[/YOU],” it says.
My Allah creates each being appropriately.
[for example,] Ant looks after the soil.
It claims the ownership of the microbe
Of which we can not know the distance [measure],
Of which we can not think of the importance.
The bug
That digs into the fruit of the tree,
That makes its fruit fall,
That pesters the flower;
It [ant] collects its egg, adds [the egg] to what it eats.
If it is not like that
You would neither see the grass nor pick the flower.
“He did not give the heart up, he did not migrate from earth,” we said,
We gave word to my Yunus.
No water stays in the jug;
If full jug is in the hand of faithful human, it is not spilled.
How much ever precaution you take for what will happen, it is not avoided.
We walked [on] path with Darling,
We sought close friend with saz. [saz=a stringed instrument (which somewhat resembles a lute); to play saz==heart song]
“Let us come together in the town,” we said, we looked for honesty in the leader.
We looked for, but what did we find?
We returned to the place where we came from.
First we opened the palm,
“One drop of faith,” we said.
Then we opened the palm,
“Present [offer] close friendship, God help us,
Decree is in YOU," we said. [You are The One Who issue the decrees]
We looked for the close friend, we found HIM at the summit too.
In the case of our mistake, give calamity.
Let helal make [one] reach HIM.
Fill our heart with close friend.
Make us be satiated with Your deep love,
Make us burn [in heart [with Your deep love]] my Allah, make us burn [in heart ].
The one who does not burn [in heart],
Is the one who stays on earth,
Is the one who comes from most behind.
The one says, “Let me find HIM quickly,” is the one who laughs at earth.
I say to you: be among the ones who laugh.
Let matter be your slave, not you are its [slave].
Let matter stay in you, not you in it.
In each chat that is presented, there is the name of HAK.
In each fruit that is presented, there is the taste of deep love.
In Glorious Koran, there is The Essence of HAK.
Let it be known that each drop that disperses, will come together
Even if it mixes with soil.
Let our aim, our effort be [for] "quick reunion."
At brave ones' place, we gather, we have heart-to-heart talk like that,
All humans and we embrace one another.
When 'savant' [? 'religious scholar' ?] is said, what did we find?
We mixed halvah with after earth life: [halvah=a sweet, candy like confection, consisting chiefly of ground sesame seeds and honey.]
We presented to savant [? religious scholar ?] as well as we presented to ignorant.
“Who is the one who eats the most,” we said.
We saw the [spiritually] mature one as [being the] eater.
Of course he/she will eat, while eating he/she will find, he/she will know What he/she finds.
Ignorant eats saying, “Food,”
Savant [? religious scholar ?] [eats] saying, “Science,”
The [spiritually] mature one [eats] saying, “Let me mature [spiritually].”
Nevertheless, all of them eat.
After earth life is all humans’.
Arrival, your intention, [? Arrival, intention's, ?] [where [at which level] you arrive depends on your intentions on earth...]
Walking, your wergeld. [? Walking, wergeld's. ?] [the events that you go through on earth, are the wergeld of your intentions]
Of course, not each intention is one [the same];
Flowers do not open in heart.
Goodbye.
Lailaheillallah Muhammedur Resulullah. [Allah is The only One to be worshiped, and Mohammad is HIS Representative.]
