Part 30

1 March 1974

I am Mevlana.
We took through the case [i.e. we perceived in body while body was acting like a case for the soul [like a pillow case]], we found in ONE, we came with hal.
“[HIS] Path belongs to the one who walks,” we said.
If you stay at the place shown by the one who shows the path, [instead of walking, if you stay at the place where he/she showed you HIS path]
Is the fault in you or in the one who shows?
Of course in you!

Where is the place of the effort?
On the path to which you tied your belief,
In the hal that you see.
Each event
That you fell in its watching, [that you watched with admiration]
That you got excited by its beauty,
Does it give you wing, does it make you cross your [? HIS ?] path?
To see The Beautiful One is to start to come to one's senses; [vision==to see HIM in HIS creations / to love HIS creations]
To know The Beautiful One is to be inside [HIM].
'To see' is step, 'to know' is to cross.

“To love” is not “to find lovely.”
“To love”
Means “to be filled with,”
Means to be born to The Meaning.
When you say, “I love,” if you count variety, [when you say, "I love," and if you state the particular varieties that you love, then it is not love:]
I say, “Do not cheat yourself.”
To separate human from human, [to discriminate among humans]
To say, “My friend, my enemy,”
To study [as] “poor, rich,” [rich and poor going to different schools...]
To weave silk in fabric…
Do not forget, silk is for view,
Calico is for death.
For that [reason], let there be none that you separate [discriminate].
Let place be given next to silk, to calico too.
Let it be known that the poor one is the door to good deed for the one who is rich.
Give your hand
To the one who is partner in your good deed, [i.e. the poor one who caused you to do good deed]
To the one who takes the stone from your path [when you do good deed, stone[s] that are on your path are cleaned, therefore the poor one indirectly cleans the stones of your path...]
So that the ones who wish for your greeting come as many.

The one that is not written, is it because of HIS human?
The one who takes his/her [record] notebook comes [to earth],
The one who rolls up [closes] [his/her record notebook] returns [to after earth life].
Human reads not according to his/her wish, but to his/her duty.
However, some read on his/her day [on earth], he/she weaves his/her day,
Some try to read the day that comes…
Does one read the page that is not opened?
Is human's path woven before it[‘s time] comes?
One should know the place of the effort, one should read the one that is necessary.

Let us roll the hoop, what do we see when it rolls?
For each revolution, it moves forward in accordance with its measure,
When its balance is lost, it stays at the place where it is. [analogy with human's spiritual measure...]

The one who takes path on the mountain
Does of course not find the easiness of the flat path.
However, the one who goes on flat path
Does not see what the one who goes on the mountain, sees.
Difficulty is in climbing the mountain,
Beauty is in looking when climbing.
Flat path educates, uphill grinds.
Let The Creator give according to how HE sees as worthy.
If HE wishes let HIM educate, if HE wishes let HIM grind.

LIFE is HIM, DARLING is from HIM.

Coyness [is] to[wards] you, The One Who is coy is yours,
The One Who acts coyly is all’s. [HE belongs to all humans]

Circle finds its value when its two ends become one, takes its name
Because the one who comes to hand, sees his/her place [in the circle].
Who is the one who comes to hand?
Who is the one who knows the mirror?
What is the one that reflects when held toward the sun?
The one who comes to hand
Is the one who makes the mirror be known to you,
Is the one who shows [you] your [? HIS ?] face.
See your [? HIS ?] face so that you know The Creator,
So that you find The One Who comes to hand.
The One Who comes to hand, The One Who makes You be known to you,
The One Who makes You be found in you,
The One Who makes [you] conform to the universe,
The One Who makes one come to his/her senses in ONEness,
Is no one but HAK HIMSELF.
Is what you take in your hand not your faith?
Is what you find in your heart not your deep love [for HIM]?
WHO is The One
WHO makes the one that you call as "it does not happen," happen,
WHO makes HIS writing be known,
WHO makes [one] conform to the beauty of the humanity?
Isn’t HE HAK, HIMSELF?
Saints only hold light, show path,
By the order of HAK, [saints] protect HIS [? your ?] path.
The One Who gives is HIM as well as
The One Who sees is HIM as well as
The One Who comes to hand is HIM.
We are full of HIM.
We are in hal with HIS “Hay Attribute.” [Hay Attribute==human separating his/her heart from his/her body]
Let us know this like this:
Let us ask us from ourself.
Let us say, “We are loaded with HIS BEING.”
Let us tie the bond of ONEness in all [humans].

Let us not look for nacre in the basket, [let us not look] for cause in the nacre.
Let us be entrusted to my Allah,
Let us find in all [humans] The Being of the universe.

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

7 March 1974

I am Mevlana.
[spiritual] Immaturity
Does never change the frame of the beauty,
[HE] Does not join together the one who is [spiritually] mature and the one who is [spiritually] immature.
Let greeting be to all of you.
From the one that is called “immaturity,” find The Reality of The Existence.

Destiny and 'Kadir' can not be separate. [Kadir=One of the Attributes of Allah; it means 'The Omnipotent']

Your humanity can not read the writing in his/her measure. [the writing==the destiny]
[because] To read is not the essence; it is necessary to live.

The one that you look for on the mountain pass, you can not find [it] on the flatness,
The one that you find on the flatness, you can not see at the high [place].

Do not put heart to the one that passed, [do not long for past events]
Do not measure the one that comes. [do not make predictions about future events]
The order [orderliness] is neither from you nor from me,
But from The One Who rolls up the earth.
“Let him/her find HIS order, let him/her mature [spiritually] with hal,” is being said;
Longing is seen in what is being said.
What is 'longing'?
One does not descend down, one does not ascend up;
Let us conform to the one that happens in [present] moment,
Let us remember when we plead.
“What?” is being said.
The one that is said about, “I can not mature [spiritually],”
The one that is longed for saying, “I can not find [HIM].”

Falling sets up connection with the helper.

The Essence that does not change, shows HIS place,
Makes The One That is longed for, be found.

We changed the direction of the other one, of the different one,
We made the one that is said about and the one that is longed for, come together. [? We made the one that is said about and The One That is longed for, come together. ?]
He said, my Yunus entered the word.
If you take, do not say, “I did not take.”
If you ask, do not say, “I did not hear.”
Let you know the one that you take,
Let you hear the one that you ask.

At the place where there is eye, My Essence is remembered,
At the place where your heart fills, one arrives at HAK.

The one who is willing to take, he/she does not ask, “Is there?”
The one who says, “Is there?” is the one who falls in doubt about The Giver.

The trouble of the one who stays without place, is from the ground;
The trouble of the one who stays without leader [guide], is from HAK.

If you say, “Let us cast anchor, let us head to the shore,”
We are on [a] ship without anchor.
We are separate from [spiritual] immaturity.
Neither did we search shore, nor did we stay away from the ship.
Our pleading [is] endlessness for the ship of all [humans].

Did you ask Yunus about place?
Did you put Darling in heart?

Yunus [is] there, here,
Yunus [is] at the place where he is remembered,
[he is] Neither in ground, nor in stone, nor in tree, nor in bird.
His life went uphill.
He did not know that he climbed, he did not say, “Back,” he did not return.
He did not believe the word that was lie, he became fire, he did not go out. [his heart fire was not extinguished]
He burned as much as he could burn, he arrived as much as he could whirl.
I came to give, to stay in hearts.
If I say, “I stayed,” is it appropriate?
If I say, “I loved,” is it his/her benefit?
It is recorded as the benefit
Of the one who takes, of the one who gives,
Of the one who loves, of the one who is loved,
He said, he greeted, he walked.

I will take, I will give, I will see that I give.
I will come to the interpretation of the day according to your wish.
If we do not take from heart, our path does not give. [one can not understand our chats if he/she does not take from heart...]
If we do not stay in interpretation, our heart is not at ease. [if we do not discuss in order to try to understand, then we would not be at ease]
Its [our chat's] flower does not open before taking interpretation, before dividing into four.
If its flower does not open, its fruit does not ripen.
It is divided into four, it is found in three.
One finds three of the four.
If you say, “What is the one [that is not found]?”
Its page is turned, it is like that in the record.
No mistake is searched in The Giving, in The Writing of my Allah.
Let one not say, "[spiritual] Immaturity,"
Let one not fall in fault in interpretation.
One's [spiritual] maturity: he/she appropriates three of four to him/herself,
He/she has [an] opinion of one of them. [has the fourth one as opinion]
Even though straw is very light [not heavy], it fills up its space,
It fools the eye.
However, it does not cover the majority, it does not contain the surrounding.

At the place where The Reality is sought,
One does not complain about the flow of the water.
Because the flow of the water is never denied.

When iron is beaten [worked], the form that it will get
Is in accordance with the place where it will be used.
Iron is beaten [until it gets the desired shape].
Let us know the hanging [death penalty] as appropriate,
Let us not look for responsible for what happened.
We gave before:
Even though one wants the form to be as [it is] wished,
It[/he/she] finds place as it is written.
However,
For the judgment of the society, the one who is in the society is responsible.
When society judges,
If it keeps itself responsible for
What it gave to the one who is in the society,
It would be more fair when it judges the one who is in the society.
The society should be proud of what it gives to the one who is in the society,
It should beat its own breast for what it could not give.
One should not ask the mistake of the whole society from one human.

Blind feels pity for deaf.
[however,] The one to be pitied for is neither the blind one nor the deaf one.

Your improvement occurs
Not with the one for which reciprocal is expected
But with the one that is given.
If you can give, of course you take.
[further] If you divide, you stay as amazed. [if you divide and give to all [humans], you would be amazed in a positive manner...]
If you are next to the one who divides, of course you take [too].
[yet,] If you divide [yourself], you stay as amazed.
Do not be next to the one who divides. [i.e. do not take from him/her a share that another human may take...]
Yet, whoever he/she is,
Wherever he/she comes from,
Let your hand not stay away from his/her hand.

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

9 March 1974

I am Mevlana.
I saw nicely, I found peace in every event.
Mevlana looked for peace in himself,
He presented to all [humans].
If you know the peace yourself,
Then you give [it] to all humans,
Then you know the universe as being lived in.
What is meant by 'to live'
Is to tie each event to HIS Building;
Because outcome is obtained when events reach the wholeness.
In each event that did not reach the wholeness [yet],
There is The One Who grinds like in the example of wood shavings.
Similar to how you chisel the wood,
The one that is not suitable for the structure, is the wood shaving that is shed.
The one who is faithful knows:
Event finds HIS order [orderliness] sooner or later.
Parade of the day is like that.
On the past day, Janissary band used to play,
On this day brass-band plays, soldier [still] conforms to the tune.

The one who does not take, does not know [The Meaning/The Reality],
The one who does not mature [spiritually], does not find [HIM].

Before mistake is made, correct is not found.
If you tolerate the mistake of the little one [of the child],
Then you teach him/her, forgiveness.

My Allah showed/shows HIS human
To give direction to patience at every opportunity.
If you wait for the flower that you plant,
You collect and make bunch.
If you wait for the baby whom you gave birth to,
You raise [him/her], you caress [him/her].
No creation comes to hand in the moment when he/she/it is born.
Human is kneaded with patience since birth.

The one who looks at the rise of the sun [sun==Prophet Mohammad]
Is the one who opens his/her heart to HAK.
The one who says, “My Allah,” and runs,
Is the one who crosses the path quickly.

Each human wishes for love,
“Let me love all [humans],” he/she says.
However, love is like in the example of chain:
It does not tolerate forcing.
When left on its own,
There is no end of the love
Not because of being added.
What happens when you force the chain?
It separates from one another.
The chain that is strong, resists as much as its strength,
If you put more pressure, it breaks.
If you say, “I loved, let me be loved,”
If you respect the one who loves, your love becomes endless,
It finds border at death [time].

The one who says, “Let me be close to the sun,” [sun==Prophet Mohammad]
Is the one who wishes for higher [spiritual] rank.
[however,] First prepare yourself for the sun.
I say to all [humans].

It is beautiful to say,
“Let me eat, let me see,
Let me promenade around the world, let me see the beautiful one,
Let me love every thing.”
To find each one that/who is created as beautiful
Is to be HIS soft human.

Human finds with his/her intention.

It is my Allah’s order that
Each human who is soft, reads [prays/pleads].
The one that takes each path to the going,
The one that opens each door
Is 'pleading,' do not forget!

To open The Meaning is not God-given share of every human.
The one who has the God-given share, let him/her say, “My Allah,”
Let him/her be thankful to HIM.
Mevlana came/comes by the command of Allah.
He opened/opens The Meaning to all of you day by day.

The one who knows HIM in every event, finds HIM in every order [orderliness].
Say, “YOU are The One Who will make Your Order be found, my Allah,”
Refer [submit/transfer] to HIM.
Read [pray/plead] without stopping, do not leave HIM without prayer.

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

12 March 1974

I am Mevlana.
The one who becomes one
With the one who drinks sip by sip,
With the one who loses consciousness because of what he/she drinks
Is the one who separates from oneness.
Each one drinks according to him/herself,
Each one perceives according to him/herself.
You, you do not separate from You;
You do not become one with the one who separates.
You can not find HIM in yourself,
You can not give yourself to HIM.
As long as grapevine does not give grape, you can not go next to HIM.
As long as the mountain does not open your path, you can not reach its summit.
Path belongs to the one who wishes,
Day belongs to the one who knows his/her hal.
How much beautiful the past [day] is,
It does not come back to your day [again].
You shall know that the day is in HIM. [you should know that each event of each day is created by HIM]
You shall conform to each event saying, “From HIM.”

The one that you take from ground, does not become yours.
The one that you give to torrent, is not delayed on the path. [i.e. it will reach the ocean] [ocean==God]

We say, “Eyvallah,” to the one who gives his/her greeting and the one who rolls up the old one [i.e. the one who forgets about past events].

If you ask from the one who is soft,
Neither does the wind bring nor does the the torrent take away.

If you take your place, HE makes you find.

At the place where the demand matures, [at the place where human matures spiritually]
Events stay away from development. [events would not develop/happen]
“Why?” is being said.
If you conform to The Writer, why is the demand?

If you hope from the one that passed, [then] where is the value of the [current] day?
Each event always goes in front, it occurs, it passes.
Going back to the one that passed is the mistake of the human. [to long for past events, to be obsessed with past events is mistake...]

If you say, “It does not happen,” and you fall in worry,
[then] Take a glance at HIS path, say word to your heart.
The one that happens is from HIM as well as the one that comes;
Only worry is from you, because of the mistake of your humanity.
Did you make exist the one that HE gave to the building?
Did you make the door of the building be built?
Did you make the ship be put to the ocean?
Did you fill the earth with beauty?
If you say, “Beautiful,”
“You forgot that ugly is more beautiful than beautiful,” I say.

What the nest gives is only the path. [nest==Mevlana's/Garib's congregation]
Do not forget that what will take you is the hand that holds.
Give your hand so that your path opens,
So that HE makes LIGHTS rain on The Being through your heart.
We said, "The Being," we were not mistaken.
The Being is not the body, it is the one that the body guards.

I gave the definition of 'the beautiful' to question. [I asked you about the definition of 'the beautiful [and I explain]:]
The beautiful gives the one that is soft.
The definition of 'the beautiful' is not in saying, “Beautiful,”
[but] It is in melting when one does not mature [spiritually].
What is 'the one who does not mature'?
Not the one who does not exist,
But the beautiful who does not mature [spiritually] is ugly.
The One Who exists is only HIM;
There is no One apart from HIM.

Stone breaks, becomes sand; by breaking and breaking it divides.
While it is like that, has earth stayed without stone on any day?
Did [the number of] its stone[s] decrease?
The place of each one that goes, fills.
Let the one that is broken, be pleased that it is crumbled.
Let it come with torrent, let it find the ocean. [ocean==God]

We exist with The One That exists, we are narrow in nonexistence.
We are ember in majority, [we are] ash in nothingness.

Each curtain that is sewed, is for the window that opens.

We came saying, “Hay,” [hay==human separating his/her heart from his/her body]
We became mature saying, “Kal,”
We migrated saying, “Hal.”
We conformed to hal, we passed [the test], we heard.
You can not hear before migrating.
If you say, “Aman!” you can not hear. ['aman' is an exclamation word in Turkish meaning: Oof!/God!/Lord!/Lord help us! (indicating disgust or anger)]
"Aman" is separation.

We said, “Kulhuvallahi ehad,” we became human,
We said, “Allahussamed,” we knew HIM,
We said, “Lemyelid velem yuled,” we became ash,
When, “Velem yekunlehu kuvufen ehad,” is said,
We joined with hearts
The one that/whom HAK said to, “Be!”
The one whom HE made exist,
The one whom HE made conform to return.
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.
