ONEness of HEARTs
VOLUME 2
Part 29

28 January 1974

I am Mevlana.
We took word from my Yunus, we found the word in heart.
We are very pleased about hal, we got rose on HIS path.
...
...
Let greeting be to all of you.
Let HIS chat be in our tongue, let HIS Essence stay in our heart.
Let one come from life, let one find in Darling.
Let each wish become true, let it find HIS human.
We came from water, we gave our [spiritual] water.
We [spiritually] washed the heart of each human who is the owner [of HIS Light].
The one that is counted by the one who counts, the outcome does not change. [whether one counts or not, one gets whatever the God-given share is…]
The one who sees, and the one who does not see are of course not one. [vision==to see HIM in HIS creations]

My Yunus says:
HIS poor human says, “My Allah,” he/she wishes for HIS fire [in heart].
HIS wealthy human says, “My Allah,” he/she wishes for more.
If you are poor, you warm up with HIM.
If you are wealthy, you are furnished for HIM.
Which one is better:
To warm up with HIM, or
To be furnished for HIM?
What is done for HIM: “in two-ness,”
The one who is one with HIM: “only-ONEness.”

The tree that has abundant leaves, its shade is wide.
The tree of which the leaves are scarce, has abundant fruits.

Do not say, “What is it?”
The one who takes HIS water from HIS path, is the one who stays as protected from torrent.

If you wish for “sarma,” think of it starting from the root [sarma=hot dish made of grape or cabbage leaves stuffed with meat and rice]
So that what you take, gives path to you as well as the tree.

Do not talk about the one
That is at the neighbor,
That comes to you
So that one finds his/her place. [be content with your God-given share]

There is no mistake in what is being said:
“Soft”
Is the essence of the path,
Is the word of the matter.
Matter’s value
Is known on [present] day, is forgotten when it [day] passed.
The Meaning takes broader and broader place on every passing day.
For that [reason], become one with The Meaning, find the salvation there.
The writing of the matter [is] from There,
The word of The Meaning [is] from here [i.e. our chats].
Whatever is said, whatever path is walked, what will happen is written.
For that [reason],
Let the matter be as The Writer writes;
Wish for The Meaning so that your heart is purified.

My Allah sends HIS human [to earth] to make him/her find HIMself,
To make him/her know [about] HIS Identity.

Repentful human’s mistake is pardoned.

You say, “Does the writing change?”
The value of the birth is that!
What is called [spiritual] maturation, is “finding there.” [spiritual maturation is perceiving HIM while human is on earth, in body...]

Dividing the spirit, spreading to the universe,
Purifying and returning again.
Returning to where? To HIMself.
First to HIM/HERself [i.e. to Darling], then with pure heart to HAK.
What does one seek in life? Purity.

Each one who/that is created comes, conforms to earth.
If he/she can not find in life, he/she seeks in Darling.
Whatever you are, HE makes HIMself be found, the writing is that.

In the past eternity, when spirits were created,
When “come!” was said to the one that got out of the order,
The rebellious spirits that did not conform to the coming,
Will also be rebellious in [when] coming to earth,
[and this] Is of course written.
The world [universe/environment] of past eternity is exempt from every kind of punishment.
Hikmet of coming to earth is that:
To conform to the order [orderliness], to find HIM/HERself.
“If it is written, how does he/she find?” you say.
Can you give direction to the bird flying in the sky?
If it conforms, it becomes [part of the] herd, it goes. [? If he/she conforms, he/she becomes [part of the] herd, he/she goes. ?]
The one that separates from the herd perishes.

My Allah gave HIS human to earth, with body cage.
HE made him/her find the direction toward HIMself like that.
HE protected/protects HIS human so that he/she does not perish.
The one who knows HIS place, the one who sees HIS path, walks.
HIS rebellious human is hit with stone at each step.
Is it punishment? Never!
He/she will hit the stone so that he/she goes on HIS correct path.
Our word is open [what we say is clear]:
Return is to HIM,
[return is] For the one who finds HIM/HERself [i.e. Darling].
He/she does not return before finding, my Allah does not give permission.
Let one not be as mistaken, HIS rebellious human does not stay [either];
However, the place of each one who finds is not one [the same].
Each human finds as much as he/she knows my Allah.
Finding is "being in HIM/HERself."
My Allah’s will is in being, not in finding,
Is in saving HIS human from rebelliousness.
HE gives the saints, HE sends with HIS prophets,
HE shows the real one of the path.

If you say, “Let me be water, let me flow wherever [I don’t care],”
Of course your path becomes longer, nevertheless, you conform to the arrival.
[however,] Do not say, “To conform to flowing water is arrival for me anyway,
I do not care wherever it goes through.”

The one who hears the chiseling, is the one who knows to praise. [chisel/chiseling==all events are created by God]
The one who knows to praise is the one who is soft.
Let us take [the spiritual water] sip by sip so that we do not spill.
Let us not say, “Our place is abundant, our path is narrow.”
Narrow path is not responsible for the going.
The one who gives place to the going only,
Let him/her not be deprived of seeing. [vision==to see HIM in HIS creations]

The gift: the one who is worthy, his/her wish should come true.
It should be known that it will be taken not by each one who wishes but by the one who is worthy.

When 'close friend' is said, he/she should embrace with life,
He/she should say, “He/she comes from Darling.”
"'Being decorated' is the rule of the society," should be said.

We presented as word saying, "Honey from the bee," [we presented sweet chat]
So that human takes, finds [Darling] in his/her heart,
Saying, “What [a] beautiful hal.”

Let the loaf come from Hazrat Ibrahim [Abraham],
Let all of you know his coming.
He came, he saw all of you, he washed the hearts.
“Let all of them find with hal, [let all of them] be one with the rose,
Let them be a lot in number, let them stay as single [=ONE] in heart,” he said.

Earth situation comes, goes. [earth situation is temporary]
Whatever he/she is, whatever he/she finds, at the end human migrates.
The one who finds stone runs away, the one who finds power is amazed.
Whether he/she runs away or he/she is amazed, fate will occur.
Human will find the door.
Let us go through the sieve, let us stop from running away.
Let us stay away from amazement.
Let us say, “No matter what, [I wish for] Your Door my Allah.”
The one with path, [he/she] finds thanks to HIS path,
The one with hal, finds thanks to his/her hal.
Let us dive into HIS mysticism, let us find with heart.

Let us say, “Eyvallah,” let us greet all [humans].
We passed through life, we migrated from life,
We came together in Darling.
Let us wish for all of you, let us come together in coming. [let us come together when you come to after earth life]

HIS Door: the heart is its title deed.
How much ever you flourish,
You find that much dough.
If you cook [your dough] in the oven, you come as matured [spiritually].
Flour [is analogue to] body, water [is analogue to] [religious] faith.
If you do not let the smoke go, your coming [may be] though.
Isn't it like that:
If you come without [being cooked in the] oven,
You stay without dough. [you waste your dough]

Let you be entrusted to my Allah.

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

8 February 1974

I am Mevlana.
We gave sip by sip,
We have spread to hearts.
We embraced HIS each human.
We gathered the one who was passing,
We greeted respectfully the one who came.
We said, “Eyvallah," to all of you.

There is no one who changes the rule,
One does not confront The Writer.
If you take the stone in hand, HE does not let [it] be put on your head. [if you take the stone in your hand, you can not put it on your head unless HE allows you to do so...]

Let us know that hand is in hand,
Let us erase the fear from heart.
When page is opened,
When the writing [our chats] is read,
What will be seen is salvation.

The one who wishes to arrive, he/she will see of course;
However, he/she will return [to after earth life] on the day when his/her day is written.

Let us have
Neither question about the one that comes
Nor doubt about The One Who writes.

I had said, “Let us plead, let us stay away from the event,”
I had told all of you.
What the one who is on the path of sand should know?
That the event will not change with pleading.
If you say, “[then] Why did you give?”
Because it may have some service to the going of the path,
To the opening of the door.
“Which door is opened,” is said.
The door that is opened
Is the HAK door that you tied to your heart.
When you plead for your path,
You pass through the doors that open.
When you look at the order of the earth like that,
You stay away from mistake
Because you get out of the event:
Pleading does not repel the event,
It takes you out of it.

Heart is such a palace that its decoration is [from] LIGHT.
Do not use up your LIGHT so that
Your palace finds the mirror in you,
Reflects to the universe.

The one who says, “I have trouble,” is the one who finds the earth in root.
The one who climbs above on the surface, is the one who seeks partner in his/her trouble.
If you seek partner in your trouble, know The Giver so that
You are among the ones who gather [the remedy].

From the one who is in existence, you seek peace.
Do not be mistaken: in the one who is in existence there is ONEness.
In the order [orderliness] of the one who knows HIS Reality, there can not be any separation.
If it is like that [i.e. if there is any separation], one can not talk about peace.

If you see in narrowness, do not say, “[what a] Pity!”
'Beyond of narrowness' is not traced;
He/she could/can not pass beyond what is written.

If you ask the one who is drunk, he/she could not find his/her measure,
Why?
Because if he/she finds, he/she does not become drunk.
When haram is said, it is not measured
Because human’s measure does not match one another.
The food that you eat,
The water that you drink,
The sleep that you sleep,
More of it, less of it, is haram.
If it is like that, each human finds his/her measure him/herself,
He/she protects the record of his/her body with his/her logic.

When it is said, “Each tree that is chiseled, finds its place,”
What is given is: human knowing him/herself.
The one that is responsible for you is your body.
For the interrogation of the body, your essence is your judge.

If you understand from eye, you know the one who is soft,
Because from eye you can take his/her [? HIS ?] name.
From eye to eye you can read him/her [? HIM ?].
What the one who is believer will say, is in his/her eye
Because what he/she will give is in his/her essence.
One enters the eye with the essence.
In essence every human becomes one.

Do not fall in the interpretation of the day,
Do not give worry to hearts.

Yahya Efendi says:
The one who does not take from life is the one who does not know Darling.
The one who does not see the top of the tree
Is the one who does not lay pileless carpet on its root.
The one who does not know the side of the mountain,
How does he/she see the summit?
Do not say, “How about if I do not reach the goal?”
Find first the slope,
Lay first the pileless carpet,
So that you do not encounter difficulty while climbing.

I am Mevlana.
We are not without place.
We knew HIS root.
We said, “Let us take a glance at HIS summit together,”
We gave hand in hand.

Smokeless place, cloudless sky is not sought
Because the one that is not necessary is not given to the universe.
If you protect your eye from smoke,
When you pass, its trace does not stay.

Let you be entrusted to my Allah,
See the salvation in all [humans].

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

15 February 1974

I am Mevlana.
We took from life, we knew with Darling, we found in all [humans].
“Water is our path,” we said, we took, we walked hand in hand.
It is path for the one who knows the water, and path is hal.
If your hal does not conform, does not know HIS water, what is the one that it will give?
If you say, “Let me lean my back on the water,” you can not hold on.

If you say, “Let me find in heart,”
You do not take the smoke to yourself.

In the flowing water, do not glance at the litter, it takes [it] away. [? In the flowing water, do not look at the litter, it [the water] may take [you] away [too]. ?]

We became one with all [humans]
We took [your remembrances, wishes] from all of you.
Let my Allah be pleased,
Let HIM make [you] overwhelmed with HIS blessing,
Let HIM make [you] burn [in heart] with HIS deep love [that you have for HIM].

We said together, we started the word.
Let him/her [the saint] come with [you] on the interrogation day too. [interrogation that takes place in the moment of migration to after earth life]

The one who seeks at the moon, let him/her find in the sun.
Let the day of the one who says, “Morning,” pass brightly. [sun==Prophet Mohammad; moon==Hazrat Ali] [let the day of the one who takes from the sun [i.e. who follows the footprints of Prophet Mohammad], pass brightly...]

One asks with coyness to the one who is coy.

Precision is seen in the interrogation.

The one who loves, acts coyly toward the one whom he/she loves.

Soft human of the soft path matures [spiritually].

Each one who has God-given share sees through the door that opens.

At the place where water flows, moss grows too.
Abundance of sand does not mean that there is no stone.

Time that is hoped for does not come to the event that is known. [what one hopes for does not happen at the hoped time]
Knowing [The Meaning] does not walk as much as one hopes for. [one does not mature spiritually according to his/her hope]
Fruit is not eaten if it does not ripen.

As long as the wall is not built, it does not get its name. [? As long as the wall is not built, he/she does not get his/her name. [he/she takes his/her place in after earth life according to his/her test result on earth] ?]

What is difficult is to try to do the one that is not written [by HIM].

What is called homesickness is the one that you throw from your heart to HIS path.

Caravansary is the stop [rest area] that you add to your [? HIS ?] path.

If you can not cross HIS path, do not ask about your hal. [if you go on HIS path, then ask about your hal [that is good]]

Glass separates not your place but your region.
On earth, life shows favoritism toward not your region but your body.

Dagger shows human’s place:
For some, fear,
To stand superior to HIS human…
For some, to sharpen pencil,
To chisel tree.
Human’s place is according to how he/she uses [it].
Let your pleading be for chiseling tree,
Let our action stay in love.

Let us not say, "Endless," let us not get close to the point[/dot].
If you say, “There is end of each event,”
It is wrong.
There is only birth of each event.
Similar to how
When stone is thrown to water, ending of the circles [circular waves] is not seen,
Only starting [of the circles] is seen.
For that [reason], our respect is toward each one that is born.
“Being feverish” is “trying to get out of the circle.”

“Let us open the [current] day’s chat,” he said, my Yunus came.
I am Yunus with my name,
With my remembrance in our heart,
With my years-long word.
On the [current] day, I came with my essence.
When he/she takes, let him/her know, let him/her be from [among] the ones who see.
I came with bunch in my hand,
I presented one [grape] to each one who wished for.
If I say, “Mirror,” he/she becomes from the ones who conform.
If I say, “Coming to one's senses,” he/she gives from the one that comes.
The one who wishes for silver, stays on its surface. [silver==matter]
On the roof, each human’s chimney smokes
As long as chimneyless roof is not wished for,
He said, he greeted, he walked.

Let us give the [end of the] day’s chat,
Let us roll up our writing.

Let you find in what HE gave/gives,
Let you stay as you found/find.

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.
