ONEness of HEARTs
VOLUME 3
Part 1

16 January 1976

I am Mevlana.
We came with pleading,
“HU Allah,” we said. [HU==there is no other God but Allah]
We took HU from the wind,
We gave HU from the torrent…
“Let greeting be,” we said.

In eye, in essence, in word,
WHAT is given, is seen.
Nothing other than what is given, is asked about or interpreted.
If you read [our chats] line by line,
[then] You find its essence. [? [then] You find your Essence. ?]

In every fruit, the essence is known before the seed;
Yet
One reaches the one that is wished for
By means of the seed…

My Yunus says:
Quince [is] heavy on its branch,
Cotton [is heavy] in its appearance.
If you divide the bunch,
You stay in grain. [You end up with the grain [kernel]].
If you find the grains,
You wrap the bunch.


I am Mevlana.
The one that is consulted about, is asked [about]:
It [smoke] is given from human to human.
[in order to get rid of the smoke:]
Bundle is laid on the ground,
Smoke is put inside,
One ties four ends with [a] knot;
Heart finds its place like that [i.e. without smoke].
Say to the one who says,
“Time?
Remedy for trouble?”
Its [heart's] place [without smoke] is cure for my heart.

To wish to be remembered,
To be remembered with pleading:
It does of course not occur when one wishes for [it],
[it does not occur] On the day when it is consulted [about].

The one who finds The Reality
Does not stay in imagination,
Return [to imagination/to earth] is not wished.
The one who finds his/her place, has no more question. [in order to find his/her place, he/she should not question about events…]
[? The one who finds his/her place, has no interrogation. ?] [he/she is not interrogated when migrating from earth to after earth life]

What is meant by "return," is not “staying on earth;” [what is meant by 'return to earth,' is:]
It is “to be among the ones who are remembered [goodly]”;
It is to be remembered by the ones who love,
Not by the ones who criticize.

Birth is “tying [connecting] the worlds";
Migration [to after earth life is] "untying the knot."

Let heart wish,
Let it say, “You found from earth.” [let human wish from heart that he/she dies before dying, i.e. that he/she knows The Reality while he/she is on earth, in body…]


Did you get ready?
Did you eat your fill?
Did you save [some] for the poor one?
If you say, “I ate, none is left over,
It did not [even] cover my stomach,” [it was not even enough to fill my stomach]
Then you, you stay in yourself.
If you say, “Come, let us share,
Let us confide in each other on the path of life,”
Then you become [spiritually] mature thanks to him/her,
Through him/her, you find HIM.

Let greeting be to all of you.
Eyvallah.
Let one stay in his/her OWNER.

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

(Question: There is a new event on earth: it is discovered scientifically that among pig’s genes, there are some that belong also to cat. Could we be given from the lofty post some explanation on this discovery and its related outcomes?)

I am Mevlana.
You wished for the mirror,
You saw, you said.
You searched word
For us to open from the path.
We came with greeting,
We gave from soft path.

The one who is on earth, searches in the sky,
Rain in the sky looks at the ground;
During the journey, it [the rain] calms down,
Let one not think that it becomes turbid.

“Expansion,” we said, we gave before.
What is called “role” is
Not 'the occurrence of the event'
But 'the result that comes out of the event.'
“What is ‘the result’?” is said.
[it is] Not the one that develops.
It is asked saying, “What is the one that changes?”
Yes,
The one [event] that develops gives role to the one [human] that changes.
On the day when swaddling cloth is opened, [when the baby grows up and does not need any swaddling cloth]
The result is taken [obtained/seen] openly.

Let the one who takes [lessons[s]], [let the one who goes through events, who is subject to events]
Take as he/she sees
Not as he/she hears [from others]… [let him/her use his/her own mind/logic…]

“Ayran” does not give its place to yogurt [ayran= airan, a drink made of yogurt, water and salt]
Even though it is [made] from yogurt. [ayran does not take the place of yogurt; it has a different place]
It is thought that
The one that comes into being
Occurs [so] because of the one that changes
Not because of the one that develops.
What is the one that changes?
If The Giver does not change, [if The Giver does not make the change]
Where does the one who sees, takes [his/her] place from?
'Occurrence' is not contrary.
'Coming into being' comes from the one who/that spreads.

“What is the one who/that spreads?” is being said.
The one that is necessary to multiply [to proliferate].
If pig ties its change to cat, [if pig’s change is connected to cat’s]
If cat cries [sheds tears] for its [own] state [situation],
If human waits from [spiritual] knowledge,
If he/she adds [spiritual] knowledge to science,
[then] He/she will shout saying, “Checks!” [similar to how a chess player says, "Check," when he/she threatens the king [i.e. he/she is about to win the game], he/she will shout, 'Checks,' as if he/she attempts to check-mate on all chess boards in a simultaneous chess game [in which one player plays against many others at the same time…]]
When he/she shouts, he/she will make [it] heard,
When he/she makes [it] heard,
He/she will make
Him/herself as well as the ones who hear
Find their places…
[We interpret the above verses as follows: humans are expected to perceive Allah while they are in body on earth, and science is the main tool to achieve that goal. If spiritual knowledge presented in ONEness of HEARTs is added to scientific knowledge, human will solve so many mysteries at once. For example thanks to DNA, we know that a single biological cell is nothing but a biological robot, in which the software program is recorded on the DNA; similarly, bodies of the living beings like plants, bacteria, ants, birds, humans, etc are also biological robots that are formed of an ensemble of smaller biological robots (i.e. cells). Furthermore, we know scientifically that the universe is under the control of an energy that is named as ‘Dark Energy.’ Under the light of the teachings of ONEness of HEARTs, we can logically deduct that all the biological robots are programmed by The Creator, and under the control of ALLAH’s LIGHT.]

The connection of the word is of course beautiful:
The One Who separates,
The One Who nourishes,
Knows;
HE makes the one who searches, find.

We found the chat as nice:
“[it is about] What the one who knows gives to the one who does not know,” we said.
[? “[it is about] What The One Who knows gives to the one who does not know,” we said. ?]

The one that spreads is not temporary. [it is thought that what is meant by "the one that spreads" is either human or teachings of ONEness of HEARTs]
The one who is chosen makes known HIS place;
Of course, your coming [to earth] makes  your value be found.
How does HE make "the transfer from [one] flower to [another] flower" be seen?
We gave “ayran” as example.
Say to the one who asks about the transfer [from flower to flower]:
Do you not know the one that takes from bug? [don’t you know how flowers are fertilized, how pollen is carried from one flower to another by bugs?]

“You have no foot to [walk on and] come,
You have no tongue to speak,” they said,
They fell in doubt about whether I am Yunus.
They reasoned saying,
“The one who writes, says, [the one who speaks is indeed not Yunus but Garib who writes]
The one who draws, unties [solves/deciphers].”
The one who writes [Garib], does not know.
The one who draws [God], does not untie. [each human who reads our chats deciphers according to his/her heart…]
If it is like that, one does not fall in doubt about the one that comes.
As much as you know that you exist,
We exist too,
We will exist.
We found in oneness,
We will be together with the one who goes to oneness.

“Are you coming from the surrounding or from the face?” is said.
We left the surrounding on earth,
We sold the face to the one who wished.
We give as much as we take,
We enclose the earth in seven directions. [we spiritually guide earth humans in all spiritual levels]

What is non-satisfaction?
To be obsessed with [it], to get ready to work hard for [it].

What is consulted about is 'being smokeless.'
'Being smokeless' is “being without 'I complain.’”
“What is "being without 'I complain’?" is said.
To put oneself in God’s hand, [to trust that God will arrange things for the best/to accept without any complaint what comes from HIM]
To know WHAT comes from HIM. [to know that everything comes from HIM]

The stop [stopping] of the one who is remembered
Becomes reality on the day when he/she finds his/her place [in after earth life].

Say to the one who says,
“There is no need for any patch,
Let me get [a] new one”:
If you get [a] new one,
Give the old one to the one who can not even get [a] patch.

What opens thanks to gene,
Are the ideas that spread in the direction.
It is of course constructive.
There is no negativity in the one that is written.
“The result?” is said.
Alloys are tied to the rule of fusion. [alloying occurs according to the rule of fusion]
The leaf that solidifies in the flower that turns green
Is the one that turns its back to alloying. [is the one that refuses alloying]
Solidity protects the tissue from spreading [[from proliferating] in the wrong direction].
...
...
If we have no foot, we have our source [spring].
If we have no tongue, we have our hand, [Mevlana used to write the chats using Garib’s hand]
We have our heart that is with all [humans].
Does the one who does not exist come to the one who exists? [no, the one who exists comes to the one who exists [in the imaginary environment]]
Does [the saint] he/she [not] give what you do not know?
Let hearts be pleased,
Let connection be set up with all [humans],
Let one not say, “How?”
One passed to the building [made] from The Reality.
The one that is mortar is mixed;
We bonded, we will bond, [we laid the bricks, we will lay]
We will see all [humans] under the same roof.
Our day will belong to the ones who know HIS place. [? Our day will belong to the ones who know their places. ?]
The ones who know HIS place [? The ones who know their places ?]
Will conform to the one who finds.
“Who is the one who finds?” is said.
The one who gave/gives saying, “Solve.”
The one who [? The One Who ?] connects one’s [? your ?] hand. [The one who [? The One Who ?] connects humans hand in hand]
[? The one who [? The One Who ?] connects HIS human[s with one another]. ?]

We gave on beautiful day,
We found the word in five.
We asked to three of the five:
“Until the [current] day, are what you took and what you gave equal?”
Let us say, "Eyvallah."
Let us know that "our word-our essence" is One.
We took, we gave, we did not keep any as entrusted. [we took, we gave, we did not keep any one that was entrusted to us]
Let us say, “Thank YOU [my Allah].”

The giving of the path is as much as one’s perception;
Openness is seen
From the [current] day to tomorrow,
From tomorrow to after tomorrow.
Let happiness be with all of you
Because what is given is bonded
With connection from day to day.
The one that will be given after the day
Is opened by your heart.
Deaf gives its place to openness,
Blind gives its place to clearness,
As it is interpreted.
Salvation is in the one who says, “From YOU my Allah.”

Be entrusted to my Allah.
At the door that opens, find yourself.

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

13 February 1976

[this is a verbal chat]

(In a previous chat it was said:
“The one who lays the felt mat on sand
Is the one who sits comfortably.
If you lay [the felt mat] on the stone:
He/she is the one who takes pains over what he/she carries in his/her arms.
There is no mistake:
Why do you sit on the stone?
[I sit on the stone]
So that I do not stay on ground,
So that I do not fatigue the eye because of what the sand gives.”

The above section could not be understood. Explanation is kindly requested from the lofty post…)

I am Mevlana.
HE showed tree with fruit on the mountain, fruitless tree in the desert.
The tree that grows on sand
Has no fruit,
It has only trunk.
When heading toward matter,
You take the fruit of the tree
That is on the mountain, on the stone.

On sand you take, [sand==soft path/HIS path] [to take==to mature spiritually]
On stone you give.
On sand you embrace the surrounding;
When you lay your felt mat [on the sand],
You conform to each one that comes,
You give to each one who takes,
You take from The Giver.
Since it is “taking-giving,”
There is nothing that you carry in your arms.

Soil: Abundance.
Stone: Singularity.
The one that fatigues the eye:
For the one who does not know: [it is] what he/she asks the universe.
The one who knows, does not ask;
The one who does not know, does not embrace.

(Question: What is the one that is entrusted?)
(Answer:)
The one that HE will give to the one who does not know.
The one who sits on the stone
Is the one who carries the entrusted one in his/her hand.

(Question: Why is “matter” said, yet all is told about “The Meaning”?)
(Answer:)
The one who knows, combs The Meaning,
The one who does not know, searches in matter.
Even if he/she does not know, [even] if he/she walks through the matter,
He/she still finds the result.

(Question: What is the result?)
(Answer:)
Every one gets his/her God-given share.
Every one traces a circle at his/her own place;
He/she turns and turns at the place where he/she is,
He/she expands,
He/she turns until he/she gets out of the matter…

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.
