8 April 1973

I am Mevlana.
Let us not be feverish, let us not find loss from profit.

Let us not look for water on the ground, for wind at the summit.
Let us know that water is ocean’s, that path is your mortar [for pounding]. [ocean==God] [non-conforming human is pounded/ground on HIS path that leads to God]

You can not keep in step with the dance that is not [previously] practiced.

[a] Subject that is not known, you can not find [it] in HIS book [Koran]. [a subject to be known, you can find it in HIS book [Koran]]
[The previous verse and the following two verses may be better understood under the light of the following information: there are many subjects(1) mentioned in Koran(2) that humans discovered scientifically only in the 20th century. Koran was given to humans by Allah in the 7th century.]
Neither do you find farther than what is given,
Nor can you understand what is seen.
[science and technology progresses as much as Allah allows...]

Each event that unfolds, conforms to its writing [destiny].

Sea that does not undulate, is not seen;
Desert that does not find wind, can not be.

Let our stove smoke, let human hold hand of human;
Let him/her conform to the going of each path.
What is "the going of each path"?
To say, “Conform to the going of each path,”
Means, “Find oneness.”

I saw “going” in sparrow, I gave stork to migration.
I kept on thinking, I said, “Distraction.”
What did I find in stork’s height, in sparrow’s power?
Why is there migration of the stork?
Is its staying difficult? [can it not do without migration?]
Neither staying of the one, nor migration of the other one
Is difficult.
It happens when “Be!” is said.
Earth finds order like that.

We did not take as much as it was given, [although HE gave all, we did not know HIM]
We did not find as much as it was being seen, [although we saw HIM in all matter, we did not perceive/know HIM, we did not find HIM]
We did not conform as much as they were put in order. [we did not conform to events [because we did not know that events were created by God]]
If we know that our mistake is big,
Let us beg [HIS] pardon as much as our neck bends. [as much as we can]

Nightingale cries [with tears] for the rose,
Rose cauterizes its heart. [rose’s heart is in fire [with love]]
We say, “HIS Beauty ties the hearts.” [all creations love because HE is in each creation]

With events, we do to ourselves.
[with events we take our test on earth; how we react to events, determines the future events, and eventually our spiritual degree...]

To the running one of the fountain, [to the fountain where there is water, i.e. not dry fountain]
To the looking one of human, [to human who looks and sees HIM in all matter]
To the one who pours the God-given share, [to human who shares his/her God-given share]
Let us say, “Path is convenient.”

Let us be prayerful for all humans. [when praying, pray for all humans]

“We crossed the roads, we passed [over] the mountains, we drank [spiritual] waters,
Thank YOU [my Allah],” he said, my Yunus came.
If his/her cruelty is a lot,
If one does not stop next to him/her, [if he/she is so bad that nobody wants to stay with him/her]
If he/she does not fall in deep love with hal, [if one does not fall in love with all of HIS creations]
Neither does he/she know him/herself, nor does he/she find what he/she seeks.
If the one that you say about, “I have been looking for,” is one armful of weed[s],
[then] Let you go to “the giving [of God].” [wish to God for it]
If the one that you say about, “I have been looking for,” is one armful of fire,
[then] Let you fall in deep love.
If you say, “I found the weed, I put [it] on the display,"
Let you know [about] the judgment.
If you say, “I found the fire, I put [it] in heart,"
Let you find power for your fire.

Each event that is difficult, takes its grade as high.
[The above verse may be better understood under the light of the following information: on his/her test on earth, human is expected to conform to events, i.e. to know that all events are created by Allah, and never complain about them; some events may seem to human more difficult than others. However, if human succeeds, they provide higher spiritual grading...]

In the name of Veysel, let all humans’ deep love
Be in the taste of earth.
Let one burn [in heart] as much as he/she burns [as much as he/she can burn],
Let one conform to his/her patience,
Let one know his/her heart.
He came next to us not on [migration] day,
But since the day he existed.
He passed his lifetime without wind, without torrent.
He sat at his place, he filled his heart.
Neither did he say [bad] word to the one that overflowed,
Nor did he take [a] glance at his/her path.
He knew [The Meaning] without taking step,
He erased the matter before being born [in after earth life],
He stayed as he came [to earth]. [he saved The Light that God gave him when he was born on earth]
“Let one get on the horse from my back,” he said,
He became mounting block. [he let his back be used as a mounting block]
You see, this is the hal of the earth.
We came [to earth], we will go [to after earth life],
We will take as much as HE gives,
We will find [HIM in after earth life] as much as we seek [HIM on earth].

Keep away from the one who says,
“We became faithful, we know,
We write every writing.”

In "Bezm-i Ezel," human’s destiny is written, [Bezm-i Ezel=assembly of pasteternity] [Bezm-i Ezel==book in which Allah recorded cumulative destiny of all humans]
Not his/her deep love [for Allah].
If one’s deep love was written from there,
Neither would Hazrat Mohammad have been in caves,
Nor would Isa [Jesus] have been seen on the cross,
Nor would Musa [Moses] have arrived at mount Tor [mount Sinai].
One would say, “Deep love [is] from HIM, practice [is] from HIM,”
And he/she would sit [without doing anything].
On the other hand, all of them sought the deep love for HIM.
At last, one found The One That he/she sought, in his/her heart.
Since each human came/comes with HIS Light,
He/she is adorned with the same conditions.
Of course, prophets are above this,
Because they are assigned to duty for HIS humans.
If it came from there as written, [if human’s deep love was written in the destiny]
[then] There would be need neither for prophets nor for saints.

Saints are persons chosen according to their heart structures
By four of close friends of our Prophet Master [Mohammad].
If you say, “Do they choose the saints?”
They [saint candidates] make themselves be chosen.
HIS close friends give from his/her Prophet,
For that [reason] it is HAK’s path.
Which one ever it may be,
Whomever it comes from,
It is in the language of the Koran.
Each people’s book is given,
[however,] All of them are gathered in the Koran.

Path takes to HAK, heart [takes] from people to HAK.
Whomever he/she may be, let him/her know his/her people so that
He/she finds his/her HALIK.
Whether Jew, or Christian, he/she is human of The Creator.
The one who knows HIS path, the one who conforms to his/her HALIK is from HIM.
There is no “you-I,” there is only HIM,
There is the one who comes from HIM,
There is the one who returns to HIM.

It is neither education nor your hal.
If you want to reach the outcome:
See, hear.
However,
What you will see is HIS giving, what you will hear is HIS judgment.
What I mean by [saying] “however”:
Do not say,
“If I ran away from HIS giving, [if I do not see HIM in matter]
If I return from HIS judgment, [if I do not conform to events/to HIS judgment]
What is my benefit?”
Is what you see not your benefit? [the benefit is in seeing HIM in all matter]
Let you thank HIM.
Judgment of the one that you fall in [judgment of the worry that you fall in]
Is to erase the worry of the earth. [in order not to be subject to further judgments/educational events, conform to events, erase the worry of earth]
What do you wish for more?

If you say, “I gave to Your entrusted one, [I gave to the one that/whom You entrusted to me]
I took care of each one of his/her needs,”
Then you are mistaken.
Who are you that HE has something to entrust to you?
If you see the hal of the one whom you call as “entrusted,” as different,
Then you become as separating human from human. [then you discriminate among humans]
Do not forget that each human is under HIS protection.
“Do not discriminate [among humans], do not favor [human over human],” I say.
My Allah does never make HIS human be watched after by [another] human.
HE sees HIMSELF, HE watches after [him/her] HIMSELF.
[however,] HE creates means [opportunity], opens examination [test] door to you.
The one who says, “I look after,” becomes as attributing partner to my Allah.
[say:] “My Allah thank YOU, YOU made me means,
YOU overwhelmed me with Your Protective Majestic Name.”
Work [try] to be worthy of HIS Majestic Name that HE overwhelms [you] with so that
It stays in you forever.
The one who does not know the value of what is given, is very much disappointed.

We opened the chat, we chose the majesty, we found the amazement,
We asked about plurality.
We stayed neither in amazement nor in plurality.
We looked beyond each door that we opened.
At each place that we looked at,
We refreshed our fire that is in our heart.
We said, “Eyvallah,” we took the word from Yunus.
In the name of my Yunus,
Our eye is in each one of his hal,
Our heart becomes one, comes together with all humans.
We erase the worries, we say, “What happens [? What exists ?], is from HIM." [everything that happens/exists is from HIM]

From the appearance of the one who comes [to after earth life],
From him/her asking [about] his/her loss [of his/her Light],
We know that it is hal of earth.

If you put phyllo on the tray, if you eat the phyllo with honey,
It is until you are full. [you can only eat until you are full]
If you can not find phyllo, if you can not know HIS honey,
If you eat dry loaf [of bread],
When one is full, they all are one [same].
Be at ease.

On stagnant water, see HIS reflection;
Yet, conform to the flowing water [to reach the ocean]. [ocean==God]

There is no turn of the destiny, [one can not change the destiny]
It [destiny] does not write in accordance with human’s wish.
If you say, “Let me change [it],” it does not conform to your intention.
Let us conform to each hal, let us find The Beautiful in hal.

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

15 April 1973

I am Mevlana.
Time does not go through me. [in after earth life there is no time]
I passed the time,
I chose my day on earth.
When I knew HIM, I migrated from earth,
When I found HIM, I knew the birth.
The one who is born [in after earth life], is the one who knows;
The one who knows, is the one who dies.
The one who dies, is the one who laughs,
Is the one who becomes one with HIS rose.
Our rose [is] in our hearts, in our deep love gardens.
Let us open our [heart] eye on earth,
[let us open] Our heart to The Reality [while we are on earth].

We ate the ripe fruit,
We found WHAT is HAK in HIS giving.
There is no God-given share that is not taken from HIS giving. [all God-given shares are taken from HIS giving/HE is The One Who provides/gives ALL]
God-given share is not only with matter:
Where you promenade, what you see,
The one that you say about, “[oh] My Allah, [that is] so beautiful,”
Is it not your God-given share?
“Tree is not mine, flowers are not mine,
How come they are my God-given share?” you say.
Is your vision not yours?
Let us say, "Eyvallah," to all humans,
Let us know the drunkenness of the day.

Record [is] from HIM, what comes [is] from HIM, path [is] from HIM,
From the most beautiful writing of HIM.
He wrote in HIS name, he engraved in hearts together with his name [Prophet Mohammad].
Find the universe through his name [Prophet Mohammad].
[? Find the universe through HIS [God’s] Name. ?]
“Be one with HIM [Allah],” he said.
Let you find your own birth in the birth of him [Prophet Mohammad].
Let you be proud with what you find, let you rejoice because you have been proud.

I came, I took my name from him [Prophet Mohammad]. [as human, I am lineage of Prophet Mohammad]
I am Ali.
In the name of my Allah, in the intercession of HIS Representative,
In the decision made about the birth of the day,
“My great Allah,
You made 'seeing the most beautiful writing,' be God-given share,” I said,
I put my head on the ground. [I prostrated myself]
In the justice of the decision, there is plurality of HIS Name.
HE does not write irrelevant writing.
HE does not separate HIS Representative from HIS Name.
We knew intercession from him, we took protection in his respect.
Determination is HIS,
Glory is HIS,
HIS Representative is HIS,
All of us are HIS.
The one who is faithful knows:
Hazrat Ali wishes for salvation for all of you.
“Let them try not to hope but to find,
Let them take my Allah’s orders from HIS Representative,
Let them conform to every hal of him, let them erase the worry,” he said.

Our path is HIS, our heart is HIS.
Everything that is on earth, everything that goes on the path is from HIM.
Let us come for you, let us go [for you], let us seek, let us find
As long as we know What we seek.
We all know that our hearts are in HIM.
Yet, we blame ourselves
For having greed for earth merchandize.
Let us say,
“My Allah, Your Being is seen in every particle of the universe.
Vineyards, gardens turn green in my heart.
'To pluck the thorns that are called greed, [and that grow] at Your highest level'
Is [in accordance] with Your command.
I conform to it, I wish that I pluck.
Be my helper, send me my helper.”

What is the display of the one [what lesson does one get from the one]
That is said to be “merciless,”
That is interpreted as [a] giving [of God]?
It is 'finding the salvation in the moment when you erase the doubt.'

Let us know HIM in [each] particle, let us remember HIM at the tomb [of the saint].
Of course he/she went bankrupt.
Because he/she peeled him/herself off all kind of loads thanks to his/her deep love [for Allah].
HIS saint human looks forward to going bankrupt on earth.
Until he/she erases 'saying, “Hey,”' [click this link for an explanation of hey/ya]
He/she carries heavy load on his/her back.
When he/she says, “Hu Allah,” [or]  “Hay Allah, [or] “Ya Allah,”
When he/she erases him/herself [his/her ego], he/she reaches HIM.
Then the tomb stays for whom?
'Going there' is 'running to my Allah.'
Each name [of the saints] that is remembered, is 'remembrance of HIS Name.'
Whether it is Hamza, or Hadji Bayram, or Hadji Bektas,
It is 'going to HIS Name,'
It is finding The Most Beautiful One there.

If you say, “How does the vision occur?”
The one who is master of hal knows [it].

The [current] day’s judgment, human’s questionning [tonight's chat and questions of humans]
Pleased hearts.

If you promenade, if you walk, if you see the shadow,
It is the reflection of HIS LIGHT.
Similar to how with the sun, the coloration of the vapor is seen,
When hearts become equal to one another, coloration occurs.
Appearance is that.
The one who arrives in HIM, is like in the example of the sun. [? It is like in the example of the sun that arrives in HIM ?]
The one who wishes for HIM, is like in the example of condensed water.
The coloration [that is] in between, conforms to the appearance.
If you say, “How does the outfit conform?”
Earth human dresses in moment according to his/her knowledge.
You place it as you dress in your subconscious.
In reality, he/she is only Light.
[however,] No human’s power is enough to see his/her [own] Light in HIS Reality;
With eye, HE curtains WHAT he/she sees.

The ones who came, said also,
“Let my Allah be pleased with all humans,”
They sent greeting.
The one who comes,
The one who laughs,
The one who erases the shadow,
All of us we became one.
We rejoiced with the one who rejoiced, we found in hearts.
“We held the mirror towards the universe in their name,” they said.

The one who built the mosque,
Without saying, “Why,”
Without asking what will happen, got in [built] the foundation.
The difficulty is in laying the foundation.
To build your building [upon the foundation] is easy.
The most beautiful one of chat[s] [occurs]
Once its foundation is laid,
Once its walls are built,
When one starts its decoration.
Because no one lays the foundation, no one builds the walls:
The master of that remains secret.
The one who decorates, praises him/herself,
The one who watches, praises.
To HIS human who is master of hal,
My Allah made God-given share
The foundation
As well as the wall
As well as praising the decoration.
Be entrusted to my Allah.
Let you see first the foundation.

Good bye.
Our rose [is] in our heart,
Let us remember as we wish.
Let us know that he is our foundation.
To conform is to know him,
Not to say, “I know.”

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.
