ONEness of HEARTs
VOLUME 2
Part 28

21 January 1974

I am Mevlana.
There is beauty of the new one, there is specialty of the old one.
My Yunus says:
Ask for path to the one who promenades, ask for direction to the one who perceives.

The one who expects from caldron, is the one who adds to the pot.

All that you hope for, is in going to [spiritual] maturity,
Is in reaching the one who gave his/her heart [to HIM]. [is in reaching the one who fell in love with Darling]

I became Yunus, I gave from tongue.
I saw in heart, I matured [spiritually] with patience.
I was soft, I found my path.

If you say, "I took from the path of water," then path becomes appropriate.
If you knew to perceive, if you reached [? matured [spiritually] ?] through heart,
If you took from HIS water, [then] there is no place for worry.
[however,] One calls the one who does not get full as gluttonous. [however, one should drink the spiritual water sip by sip...]

If you do not give slope to your water, if you do not see the flow,
[then] You do not find HIS path, you do not reach your end [your destination].
Your path is in the flow of the water.

How is it known that Yunus is Yunus?
Because he was very sorry for the mistakes that he made.

You say, “Custom of my place,”
You keep on walking on the sand [without seeing HIM]. [if others do not see, do not be like them, do not repeat their mistake...]
The One Whom you will arrive at is HIM,
The One Whom you will find is HIM.
WHAT I see, WHAT I will see is The One Who/That comes from HIM.
WHAT you take in hand, is The One That comes from HIM.

Why do you wish for clover,
Why do you say, “Let my fortune change”?
Clover is in your heart.

Let your heart stay at ease about the event of the day.
Do not change your direction, do not extinguish the deep love that is in your heart.
There is none that goes out;
Do not be mistaken: the one that is in heart is the fire of deep love.
It does not burn in every moment with the same flame.
Day comes, it becomes ember; it is the most [spiritually] mature hal of human.

When “I became soft” is said, [when you say, "I became soft,"]
Do not be scared of turning back.

Hearts become pleased with The Beautiful One.
What is The Beautiful One?
The Beautiful One is in the one who loves,
Is in the one who knows HIS place.
My Allah is with the one who loves,
Is with the one who sees. [vision==to see HIM in HIS creations]

Why does the nightingale give its voice in silence? [why does the nightingale sing when the surrounding is silent?]
Because it has nothing to hide.

The most beautiful one of chats, is the pleasure of hearts. [it is the chat that pleases the hearts]

If cause is asked, if “What is the reason of the events?” is said,
Who would set up the order?

We are of course next to, in the heart of each human
Who conforms to the going of our path.

If you wish to defeat, what is the one that you will do?
To get more powerful...
“To defeat” is to close your eye:
Can you enter The Meaning before closing your eye?
[There are two ways to close your eye: 1) You fight, you die, you enter The Meaning; 2) You close your eye not to see the fault and you do not fight, you mature spiritually, you enter The Meaning.]

If you ask the sparrow about its place,
You see the specialty of the nest.
You will see the modesty of the sparrow,
You will give example of being soft.

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

22 January 1974

I am Mevlana.
My Yunus asks [human] about [HIS] path, from his/her path he looks for his/her hal.
The one whom he sees on display, he interprets it as his/her maturation.
The one who knows the chiseling, the one who says HIS word, [chisel/chiseling==all events are created by God, and they chisel humans]
My Yunus is his/her path’s. [my Yunus helps him/her to walk on HIS path]

The ruling of the judge benefits one of two persons.
If you say, “I wonder if it found its place?” [was the ruling just?]
Justice is not mistaken in the presence of HAK.
Whatever human does, he/she can not run away from HAK’s justice.

If you say, “Lofty mountains do not give path,” [If you say, “Lofty mountains block the path,”]
Just start walking at once and see.
You, set your intention up,
Then mountains give passage, trees bow before you.

Flowers bud even in snow.
Let us keep the yeast soft.
Let us add the name of HAK to our path,
Let us take HIS Name to our tongue, HIS Persona to our heart.

Why do you eat the sugar?
So that it gives taste to the mouth.
Why do you drink sherbet? [sherbet=any of a number of nonalcoholic drinks made with sugar and spices or sugar and fruit juice] [sherbet==spiritual water / ONEness of HEARTs]
So that it pours comfort into your heart.

Neither is the one that is thrown [away], from you,
Nor is the one that is added, from me;
Each one that is collected is from HIM.

If you pay attention to your patience, “Pole [support] of my path,” you say.
[when you are patient:] You see the place where your heart reaches.

In dew, you find the 'rahmet' of the universe. [rahmet= 1) rain, 2) blessing.] [in other parts of ONEness of HEARTs, it is mentioned that the universe is just water/water vapor...]

Where is success?
In the on who says, “I opened my day in HIS name.”
Otherwise, not in the one who says,
“I have put on the effort,
I confronted the world.”

“The one who wishes for chiseling,” we said,
From nacre we saw “coming into being of the blessing.”
I gave before, didn’t I?
The one who finds in dew the blessing of the universe
Is the one who reaches his/her [spiritual] maturity in nacre.
Even when he/she reaches HIS blessing,
He/she is the one who sees the trouble of the earth.
It is said,
“He/she is washed with HAK’s blessing,
He/she became pure,
He/she became pure pir,
How come earth’s trouble found him/her?"
What you call trouble
Is the herald of the blessing,
Is the ambassador of the destiny.
If there is “being hurt” in your destiny, you will see [it];
Even if you are saint, you will pass that bridge.
Even if you are pearl, even if you stay in your shell,
If it is written, you will be pierced.

In the debt of HIS human, HAK’s Law
Is written together with grams. [i.e. very precisely]
HE does not let one grain of his/her sand be paid [wrongly] for the right of HIS [other] human.
On the other hand, HE does not forgive if he/she does not love HIS [other] human. [HE would not forgive if a human did not love any one of HIS other humans]
HIS pardon is not only because of HIS Greatness, HIS Loftiness,
But also because of HIS Love.
What is meant by 'pierced pearl' is the one
Who stayed away from favoring [one human over another] on his/her day,
Who devoted him/herself to the ones who are from HIM.
If you say for yourself, “Is HIM,” then each human who comes from HIM
Is the one who is from Yourself.
He/she got free of every one of his/her pleasure, breath,
He/she stayed tied to earth with only his/her body cage.
He/she devoted even his/her breath to the one who wishes. [he/she prayed for other humans]
Breath is not necessary for him/her because he/she passed from his/her life,
He/she made his/her life migrate so that it arrives in Darling.
Even if pure gold was given, he/she did not even consider.
It is the name of the ones who said,
“Give the gold to the one who wishes for it,
Roll me up with Darling.”

Let each one of our word[s] be pearl for all of you.

Be entrusted to my Allah.

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

25 January 1974

I am Mevlana.
We came with armful of love,
We found like that, we are pleased.
We did not give up on the one who stops,
We did not choose the one who erases.
We were not amazed at what we saw.
We did not pay attention to the word of the one who says,
“[I do not care] Whether one matures [spiritually], whether one does not mature [spiritually].”

THE Giver is from HIS Persona, the one that happens is from HIS Essence.
Similar to how the flow of the water is because of HIS coyness.
Did you glance at the place where the water rears up and flows?
Did you look with smokeless heart?
Our path is to HIM like in the example of flowing water.
Our word is to all [humans].

When our worry is erased, WHO erases is known.
Why does one worry about the one that The Giver gives.
HE is The Seer;
When HIS human falls in worry, HE is The One Who sends helper.
When “who is the helper?” is said:
Of course HE sends the one
Who could [? can ?] say, "Earth," for earth, [who knew what earth is in The Reality]
Who could [? can ?] erase the worry from his/her body [while he/she was [? is ?]] on earth.
The one who is sent, is from [among] HIS selected humans.
Let it not be said, “How about 'HE did not separate [discriminate], HE did not favor among HIS humans'?”
HE never separates, HE never favors the one whom human separated.

Arrival is in accordance with the distance taken by each human.
How much earlier you start walking,
That much path you take [you go].
Word does not change, [it] is one.
I gave before:
My Allah gives
The matter to the one whom HE wishes,
The Meaning to the one who wishes for [it].
Wish [for The Meaning] so that you take, so that you are overwhelmed in HIS ocean. [ocean==God]
If you say, “I wished, HE did not give, HE did not give me preference,”
Then you are mistaken.
The moment in which you think like that,
You fall in accounting. [you become as negotiating with HIM]
HE never has any accounting with HIS human.
The one who will account for [his/her intentions] is human.
Each human’s helper comes in the moment when he/she wishes.
Each day that passes, shows HIS human the new birth.
Is the one who sees, different than the one who does not see?
The day on which he/she does not see, he/she is of course different.
However, the day on which he/she will see, will be born too.
Let us open eye to the day that is born.

Mesnevi is said, it is connected to the chat.
Each sinking [downfall] gives the good news of the birth.
Earth’s record, its civilization is until the place that is written.
It stays at the place where the writing ends
Because day opens to the new one that will be born.
Do not say, "The one that sets,"
Say, “The one that ends.”
The one that sets [i.e. the sun] is in the heart, [sun==Prophet Mohammad]
The one that ends is the one that gives place to the new one.
Did Koran not give 'the going to the new one'?

We did not know to get tired, we did not give to the one who writes.
If he/she was intellectual, if his/her earth condition conformed,
You would say, "Because of his/her word."
Therefore, The Creator gives to the one who conforms, not to the one who knows.
HE conveys to the ones who say, “Let me conform.”
I gave our day’s chat.

The One Who knows his/her value, [is] HIM,
The One Who looks after HIS human, [is] HIM,
The One Who writes The Writing, [is] HIM.
Do not say, “The One Who erases,”
Do not fall in fault. [do not be mistaken]
The One Who writes, does not change [the writing]
Because HE never falls in fault.

What is there in the love of the one who knows to love, do you know?
In the love of the one who knows to love there is the universe.
Universe belongs to HIM.
The one who knows is to HIM.
The one who loves is from HIM.
Therefore, in the one who loves there is HIM.

To conform is to be human.
To love is beyond being human.
However, you can not love before conforming.
Once you love, you can not erase the conforming.

Let us not think saying, “What is our place?”
Wherever we are, let us say, “We are with HIM.”
Then we conform, [then] we love without measure.

When you say, “Let me get [higher] spiritual level,”
Then do you not become as seeing the place where you are, as ugly?
However, no ugly is created by HIM.

When 'each human is to HIM' is said,
Is the place where you are, not from HIM either?
“Let us say, 'Eyvallah,'' let us conform to each hal,” I say.
Let us neither fall in the judgment of the one that sinks nor of the one that grows [at the place of the one that sinks].
Let us neither think of the interrogation of the one who steals nor of the one who hits.
I said before:
[on earth] The judge makes his/her decision about one of the two.
On the other hand, The Lofty One judges both of them.
Why?
Because two ends will come together.
Let one not think that HE falls in fault in judgment. [do not think that HE ever makes any mistake...]

My Yunus says:
Flowers blossomed in the heart
Of the one who took my word,
Of the one who put heart into [my word]. [the one who paid attention to my/our teachings from heart]
However, he/she perceived the one that blossomed, after it blossomed.

We talked about The Giving.
“The Writer does not change HIS writing,” we said.
It is [a] reality that HIS human and we joke with one another.
However, we never have any joke about The Writing. [we are dead serious about The Writing]

Our love for all of you is a lot.
When hearts are ONE, when our joke finds place,
Let us say, “Our question,” let us tie to our day.

Does [can] one say that
The one who comes from the water is one [the same] with the one who knows the water?
The one who knows the water, is the one who sees the water from outside.
The one who comes from the water, is the one who knows its real one.

Our place is in your hearts,
Our wish is HIM.

Let each leaf bring [you] greeting from us,
Let the blowing wind take your wishes [to us].

“Let greeting be to all of you,” we said.

“We blew in hearts.
We have cut the thorns that were/are on our path.
Let us be hand in hand, let us take from tongue, let us find [HIM] in heart,”
He said, my Yunus walked.

At the place where the voice comes from, there is of course breath too.
What is meant by breath
Is to talk about not the writing but HAK.

If you make the opponent that we can not defeat
Fight with the one who defeats,
Boasting does not fall on you. [then you have no right to boast]
There is power that is above power.
There is no one who is not defeated.

Let you be entrusted to my Allah,
Let you erase every worry.
Let you say, “The One Who will erase is my Allah,”
Wish for HIS help.

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.
