ONEness of HEARTs
VOLUME 2
Part 23

3 November 1973

I am Mevlana.
Let us be without smoke, let us erase the doubt.
One does not ask about beyond the one that happens.
Let it not be misunderstood, I did not say, “No question [during our chats],”
I said “Beyond the one that happens.”
If I tell [you] beyond the one that happens, you can not know,
You can not fit [it] in your cup. [your capacity is not enough to understand it]
If you ask about the secret to the one who comes [to earth], to the one who goes [to after earth life],
What he/she will say to you is this:
I am secret too.

Let us give the open one of the word,
Let us first spread peace to hearts.
Mistake is in judgment, not in the giving.
Look at the flow of HIS water, not at what it carries [as dirt].
Look at what your heart burns [ignites], not at what it takes apart [not at the hearts that it breaks].

Do not blame yourself, do not load offense on The Architect.

Who enters the ship besides the traveler?
Do not forget about the crew.
You wish for the meaning to the one who knows.
Who do you think the crew is?
Who comes to the path of the traveler?
Who gives his/her help [to him/her]?

Do not say, “Without place.” [because every thing has a place, is created for a purpose]

We do not say to the one who is sick, “Be at ease.”

Doubts are curtain for human.

The one who is faithful knows,
He/she sees the stars in the ones who promenade. [star==saint]
Is the light that you take, little?

The place where your inclination takes [you to], is it not your image?
Because your image reflects the state [situation] which you are in.
However, your real one is beyond the image. [however, real you is beyond the image]

If you say, “Do the souls live in stars?”
Star is spread to your vision,
Is in the service of your body.
“There is in the universe no being that is created for nothing,” we had said.
Each star that is in orbit, is loaded with giving.
The giving of none of them conforms to one another.
The gas that you take on earth, that you say about, 'Depot,'
When it is brought there, it only spreads.
If you try to take your load [with you], you can not find your coming.
If you take the nucleus that the earth named as atom to the moon,
What would its service be?
I asked about not what you obtain, but its service.
What is your service on earth?
If you mix iron to the mirror, what does it give you?
What do you give to the going of the soft path?
Of course your heart.

You ask about the star, “Is there any living being?” you say,
[this] Was answered before.
Do not look for body [that is like the body that you have on earth].
The universe means life, IT is alive and powerful.
Yet, there is no living being in the sense that you ask.
The One Who is alive and powerful [is] The Creator of the universe,
RAB of the universe.
It is said openly:
Why is it not possible to see Every One That is open?

When saying "Eighteen thousand worlds,"
How many sections of your brain did you open?
With which measure of yours did you take [evaluate] the stars that you see?
In you, what is the standard of the measure of the worlds?
First [of all], do not measure the universe according to your [matter] eye standard.
Did you look for 18,000 worlds in the science that you see, that you solved/solve? [did you look for 18,000 worlds using your matter eye and matter science?]
The one that you see, the one that you fell in its number [the one that you try to understands by counting in a matter environment]
Is not even in one of the worlds. [earth is not included in 18,000 worlds]
If we say that the place of the earth in the universe is just [a] point,
“Seek your own place,” I say to you.

Let The One That exists come openly.
Why would The One That exists hide HIMSELF?
If HE hid HIMSELF, why would HE show HIMSELF at small place?
If HE has that power, that superiority, why would HE not come and spread?

In events, look for clarity, do not imagine [things].
Event: [the purpose of the events is:]
To give excitement [emotion] to earth,
To assort because of the day’s thought. [to assort humans spiritually according to their thoughts...]

The One That is real belongs to the one who says:
“On earth I am human,
My hal is in after earth life.”

The one who seeks a lot, if he/she is in doubt, [then] he/she is mistaken.
When he/she says, “Blessing of HAK,” he/she finds.

Let us say “Good deed,”
Let us believe in events in the order that is on surface. [events happen in matter world, i.e. they are imaginary; therefore, let us believe them superficially, let us know that God only gives the one that is good deed...]
...
...
Civilization:
It is the one that sits at the place of each one that collapses, it is the one that starts again.
When “civilization” is said, do not look for the same measures.
Grace, elegance [that is] in life styles
Refines also the civilization, takes [it] to the last stage.
However,
Since there is no end in each creation,
Collapse is seen.
How does the collapse occur?
Collapse in The Work or in the record;
It is written in his/her [? your ?] record like that, the notebook [of record] is put away.


We said before, [in after earth life, there is] never body [like on earth].

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

4 November 1973

I am Mevlana.
"Let us erase the smoke in the hearts
From the one who comes with appropriate attitude," we say.
If you say, “We wait for the ship on HIS shores,” [then] my hand is in you [then I hold your hand].

Do not stay away from the vision. [vision==to see The Creator in HIS creations]

Do not take into your heart the worry of the one that happened/happens.
Neither does it become worry, nor does it stay in you.

If you say, “Let me remove the obstacle,”
Do not count the day that passes. [do not rush, be patient]

While going on the path, do not conform to the one who adds word to word; [do not conform to the one who talks/gossips about the events]
If you say, “Is to conform [to him/her a] fault?”
It does not make [you] win.

There is inappropriate measure in the one that you wish it to come true.
However,
The mistake of the measure is neither from you nor from him/her.
You pass beyond what you hope for.
To respect the cloud at the rise of the sun
Is to conform to the rain.
The one that you take to your heart, the one that you say about, “Does it happen?”
I gave before, it is beyond what you hope for.
Beyond what you hope for, is the one that is above your wish.
Let it not be forgotten:
The one who closes the silver door, opens the golden door. [silver==matter; gold==spiritual meaning]
Do not say, “If I do not take.”
Refer [transfer/submit] your each hal to my Allah.
What comes from HIM is the most convenient one.

The connection of your path is to HAK.
Smoke does not cover the heart of the one who says, “My Allah." [? Smoke does not cover the heart of the one who says, "I am Allah." [i.e. I found Darling, I realized that HE is in me, I in HIM, hence I am HIM] ?].”

Say,
"I conformed to the coming, I gave my hand.
[for] My destiny:
I erased the doubt from the line of The One Who traces,”
Be prayerful.
Let it not be forgotten:
The One Who wrote/writes is HIM.
Human neither writes nor changes your destiny.
Whatever he/she says, let human conform to The One Who traces.

Do not say,
“If I think before saying, 'It happens,' [if I try to change the events before they happen]
Do I find the one that is more appropriate?”
The one that comes to you is the most appropriate one.

Bird does not open its wing without reason.

The one that will come erases the one that passed. [future erases the past]

Smoke divides [erases] the peace.

He/she will mature [spiritually] whether he/she comes [to HIS path while he/she is on earth] or not,
He/she will laugh whether he/she says or not.

When good deed door opens, only the one who has permission passes.
If you say, “Who has permission?”
The one who says, “My Allah,”
The one who conforms to HIM with every hal.

If you wish for “meyhane,” ask for the wine server. [meyhane=bar/restaurant like public place in 14th century where wine was served]
Take God-given share from the wine that he/she presents.

Do not say, “My worry is a lot;”
Worry belongs to the one who does not know HIS path.

If there is conformity in majority, then you find your place.
If there is 'listening' in minority, then you see you, yourself.
One seeing him/herself:
Is to conform to HAK like in the example of looking in the mirror.

If there is peace at the front-line, then trench becomes meaningless.

Do not stay away from the [spiritual] meaning,
Because the light of your path is from there.

The One Whom you lean on, is with you.

Do not stay away from the hal of the soft path that you conform to.

[if] You say, "Do I make the distance longer?" [do I go faster on HIS path [and make the distance between me and the others longer?]]
You fall in questioning.

In your wish, the one that does not conform is not seen. [if your wish is inappropriate, it is not taken into consideration [by HIM]]
[? When you wish, the one that does not conform [to your wish] is not seen. ?]

One does not say, "Eyvallah,"
For the one that does not happen in accordance with his/her heart.
Do you know what beauty is?
To say, "Eyvallah," for each one that happens.

When your smoke is erased, what you will see
Is the most beautiful one of the days.

In every flowing water, one sees litters that are carried.
Yet, nothing can change the flow of the water. [since every flowing water runs to ocean...] [ocean==God]

Nest’s happiness is in heart conformity. [nest’s happiness is due to the conformity of the hearts] [nest==home; nest == Mevlana’s/Garib’s congregation]

You wish to erase because you cover the one that passed.
The most beautiful hal is
To cover the copper pan with golden lid. [gold==spiritual meaning]

My Allah gives the path that is in accordance with HIS human's pleading.
Because
Let one not think that HE would let HIS human plead for something that does not happen.

What comes from wine? Drunkenness.
If you do not wish, you do not take from wine, you do not become drunk.
Wine is the wine of deep love.
However,
It inflames the deep love that is for HAK.
If The One Whom you wish for is HIM,
HE is with you.

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

9 November 1973

I am Mevlana.
In armful of love, I found all [humans].
I saw the fire that burns in hearts.
When we say, “Armful of love,”
Take the measure not with matter but with heart.
In the question, importance of love is seen.

Let there be no fear from loss.
Each event, when it reaches the summit, it descends, it ascends like in the example of wave.
Day’s event is that too.
I say for that [reason], "Do not seek fault."
The one that does not come to eye nicely, [the one that does not look nice]
The one that does not conform to custom
Is found as strange.
It is in reality 'search.'
Although it is said, “Revolt against technology,” it is return to one's reality.
The one whom you call 'hippie' and whom you do not like,
If he/she does not know to search, fault is not his/hers.
[fault] Belongs to the one who did not give to him/her.
Do not say, “Who does not give?”
I gave before, it descends, it ascends like in the example of wave.
If there is no descent, it does not find path for ascent.
[similar to how:] When there is no stopping [and resting], one can not endure the road [travel/trip].
One is filled into the ascent from the descent place of the West.
Evidently when West ascends, East descends.
We gave before:
The door that will open to West, to East
Is the place where you are inside, where you call as “my homeland.”
Do not forget:
Name of Yunus, name of Mevlana walked to there.
In reality, that is the name of HAK.
However, earth human seeks representative from him/herself,
Gives his/her own name to there.
[in fact,] What is said is HIS name, HIS remembrance, HIS commemoration.

I gave before, I said, “Read [our chats] again and again.”
[our] Chats find their value when they are read again.
The one that is consulted, is seen quickly because return is to HIM.

Each flower that degenerates, is more fruitful when it becomes dust.

The guest who comes to the ship with the traveler
Sees the same closeness too. [is heartly welcomed too]

Each God-given share is in HIS human’s bodily constitution, not in his/her taking.
The one that is said about, “Is this it?” of course, this is it.
The food that you do not eat, is not yours even if it is on your table.

Our heart is with each one who remembers, who wishes.

'To share' is this:
To rejoice with the one who rejoices,
To caress the back of the one who feels sad,
To show HIS path to the one who wishes [for HIS path],
To ask about the state [situation/condition] of the sick one.

What is the mistake in effort? [what is the mistake of the one who spends effort?]
What will happen, what will not happen are from HIM.
To spend effort to make five with three is mistake.
Because with three only three is made.
If you try to make four
Then you fall in mistake, [then you make mistake]
Then you become as attributing [a] partner to HIM.

What you call 'part' [without understanding the WHOLE]
Does not take [one] to ecstasy, [does not make one come to his/her senses]
Does not make one find Darling in his/her life.
When you know that your life and Darling are ONE,
Then part shows you the one who makes HIM known.
If you undress before its [hot] season comes, you feel cold.
[similarly,] If you seek from the part without knowing, [if you try to understand THE WHOLE just by looking at Its Part]
You get carried away like in the example of torrent.
The one who is faithful knows, he/she finds in [our] chat each one that he/she seeks.

Kaygusuz says: [Kaygusuz= nickname of Sufi saint Gaybi meaning “worry-free;” he lived in the 14th century]
If you do not say, “What did I become, what should I become?”
Then you erase the worry like me.
HE gave [my life], HE sent [me to earth], HE will call [me back to HIM];
What is left for me to think about?

Yahya Efendi says: [Yahya Efendi=Sufi saint who lived between 1494 and 1569]
I took with fifty, I gave forty-nine.
When one stayed with me, I said, [when I was left with one of them, I said:]
“Ya Allah, did I take his/her [? Your ?] share?
Do I give [it] to the one who wishes for [it]?
[or] While I am with YOU, should I be content with one [? One ?]?”

Yusha [Joshua] says:
For each one of HIS givings
That found with “kal” when I came [to earth in body], I saw, [hal==to find oneself in water, air, sand, soil, tree, leaf…; kal=state higher than “hal.”]
I said, “Thank YOU my Allah,
I am attributed with Your God-given share.”

I am Mevlana.
If you seek in the outside appearance, [then] you solve according to your pleasure.
[however,] It does not happen by guessing.
In guessing there is doubt.
If you say, “It is my guess that the universe is big,”
[then] The doubt of “I wonder” comes:
Is it as big as your guess? [you wonder if it is as big as you guess]

If I say, “Do not erase the surrounding,”
You say, “We did not fall in erasing.” [You say, "We have not been erasing."]
What is meant by “erasing” is
Not to fall in doubt about beyond the vision. [not to doubt The Being even though one does not see]
If you say, “It is The One That is unknown,”
Knowing The Being is as much as your heart takes,
And there is no measure for that.
In The Giving of The Being
Humanity’s love is present endlessly.
The event that was not tried [before] is the call to the one who wishes. [our call to humans occurs like this for the first time]
The One Who wishes to give is HIM, The One Who sends is HIM too.

In every moment, helper is present at every place of the earth.
The one that is dense, goes in abundance.
The imbalance as it is said, is in outside appearance.
All of us we go, we help.
Let there be no worry.
Like in the example of Kaygusuz, let one say, “Beautiful day is close.”
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.
