ONEness of HEARTs
VOLUME 3
Part 11

29 July 1976

I am Mevlana.
Our nest, [nest==Mevlana/Garib’s congregation]
Our hal,
Our path,
All of us
We say, ‘Close Friend,’
We go on our path with Close Friend.
Let selam [greeting/peace] be,
Let hearts be filled,
Let the one who searches essence, find.

Witness testifies for what he/she saw/sees.
Do not add the view that you will not take, to word. [do not testify about something that you did/do not see/understand]

Say to the one who says
“I do not give up earth,
I do not pass precipice,
In difficulty, I do not spoil friendship”:
Neither did I try [to do] the difficult one,
Nor did I separate [myself] from Darling.
From roaring sky,
I waited for HIS Blessing [rain].

The one who says,
“Let me fast,
Let me wait for the table [to eat],”
Fasts for him/herself.

Hold the mirror to your face,
Say,
“What you see is as you look.”

Do not dive into the water that you can not cross.

At the place where it is said,
“It does not happen,”
Negativity is in intention.

Vegetable garden that you plant
Is not support for the epic that you write.
Osman says,
“Support is from The One Who writes,
Not from the one who says word.”

Architect knows what he/she draws,
Stonemason [knows] what he/she builds,
Farmer [knows] what he/she plants;
If he/she planted wheat, he/she does not wait for poplar,
If he/she planted willow, he/she does not wait for melon.
[however,]
If the traveler started the journey,
It is because of HIS Permission.

Poplar does not brag about its height.

Flower does not trust the wealthy one.

We know that The Giving is from HIM;
At the place where there is no permission [from HIM],
We stay. [we do not go to a place that HE does not allow]

The night of the day does not interpret [This verse may be better understood under the light of the following information: During sleep, spirit of the human who has permission from Allah meets with other spirits of the same spiritual level and/or his/her saint. Such meetings take place in Light…]
Because beauty does not fit into interpretation.

Why do we love the flower
But we criticize its thorn?

When you wish for patch,
When you say, “Let me put cover,”
It is of course from HAK.

Its interpretation [is] as taken. [as [much as] you [can] understand]

You can not erase the surrounding.
If you say, “Let me take my place,”
You can not divide your destiny.
I am from the ones who know your place,
I am from the ones who see your hal.

When forest is seen,
When “how beautiful” is said,
“How about when its leaf falls?” is said.
Conform to what you see,
Not to the one that you hope for.
The one who does not say, “Beautiful,” to [for] the forest
Is the one who tries to erase the one that exists.
He/she uses ‘falling of its leaf’ as excuse.

The tall one of poplar,
Do not take the degenerate one of human.
If he/she does not extend his/her foot,
If he/she does not say word about the day that comes, [if he/she does not care about the day that comes]
That human is called as ‘the degenerate one.’
‘To extend his/her foot’ is to start the journey
On the path of HAK,
One goes to the day that comes,
One waits from the day that comes,
One sees on the day that comes.
When it is said,
“Do not say word about the day that comes,”
It means
“Do not ask [about] your earth situation on the coming day.” [do not tell fortune]
Degenerate human knew,
However,
Although he/she knew,
He/she took his/her foot away from the path…

We took the new one, [the new one==ONEness of HEARTs]
We gave good news to the day that comes. [we gave good news about the day that comes]
The one that comes
Is it not the word of the day?

Let gazelle be
On mountain,
In vineyard,
In nest. [nest==Mevlana’s/Garib’s congregation]
Let the one who knows his/her OWNER come.

The bridge that we will cross
Stays away from interpretation.
In each interpretation, we give the specialty of The Existence. [? In each interpretation, we give the specialty of [spiritual] maturation. ?]
In each event, we see HIS Beauty.

Say to the one who says,
“Let me protect my place,
Let me fold my bundle”:
I passed the one who ignores the order,
I conformed to The Writing.
My path is on flatness,
My heart is in saz. [saz= a stringed instrument (which somewhat resembles a lute)]
The one that is wished for,
Take [it],
It is trump.
I gave salvation,
I stayed without worry.

Let you know your place
As much as your heart burns.


What you seek in four,
Will be divided into four.
In each direction,
One of them will be seen.


At the place
Where ayran is drunk, [ayran=airan, a drink made of yogurt and water]
Where seeds are scattered to ground,
Where the shadow turns to west, [because the sun rises / sun==Prophet Mohammad]
It will be known that
The reality [? The Reality ?]
Is the day’s interpretation.

In the day’s interpretation,
The one who is without place
Is not you.
The one who says,
“It is not soft,” for the day’s interpretation
[resembles] The one who says word about mountain
[while he/she is] On the beach.

Where does the interpretation open?
Where does one passes through?
There is no place for worry.
Do not look for witness,
HAK knows.

Being without [a] place [in after earth life]
Is that The Lofty One gave the writing to human.
In desert, you solve the path yourself,
You walk around as much as you search;
Then do you become as if you wrote the writing yourself? [then do you think that you write the writing/destiny yourself?]
[this is how you should do:]
Think of the knot that you will untie,
Say first, “My Allah,”
Then take it in hand. [then start to untie it]
You will see,
You will say, “HIS solution conformed [to me],”
[this is how] You will take the weaving in hand. [this is how you take control of the weaving/events]

Put the mirror to its place
As you took,
See as you look.
It gives
The different one,
The separate one
To the surrounding,
It takes the worry from your heart.

Do not say, “Trouble,” about the bundle that you can not open:
Give [it to someone], let it go.

Notch belongs to the one who crosses,
Wine belongs to the one who drinks,
Salvation belongs to the one who says, “My Allah.”

Be entrusted to my Allah.

We gave, we arrived.

Let one take from soft place,
Let him/her give stone to stone,
Let him/her say, “Sand occurs like that,” [this is how sand is made [by hitting stone with stone]]
Let him/her stop at the place where he/she separates [sand from stone].

Let him/her not say, “Is it enough if I take sip by sip?”
Let him/her not see smoke at the place where he/she consults.
Let him/her not lay the pileless carpet at the place where he/she approaches to [the place that he/she does not know].
Let him/her say,
“I conformed to The One Who writes,
I believed in the good deed of the coming day.”

He/she is not insufficient,
[however,] Let him/her not try to cross [on his/her own].
Let him/her stay on earth where he/she came into being,
As he/she was [then]. [The last two verses may be better understood under the light of the following information: Each human is born with an equal amount of HIS LIGHT. However, during lifetime, human wastes some of HIS LIGHT because of bad intentions. When human migrates to after earth life, he/she is granted his/her spiritual degree according to how much of HIS LIGHT he/she could save. According to ONEness of HEARTs' teachings, the most preferred is to save all of HIS LIGHT that one has at the time of birth...]

Let you be entrusted to my Allah.

Let one not stay away from The Reality.
Let one not say, “Let sun come to shade.” [sun==Prophet Mohammad]
Let it be known that ‘ayran’ is made of milk. [ayran=airan, a drink made of yogurt and water]

Let you stay without question.

Let you know the interrogation
Not in yourself
But from the event.

Let you not fall in judgment in the name of human.

Let you not complain about fly on open lake.
Let you not fall in worry about litter [that is] in flowing water.
Let you not call the wave in the ocean as ‘trouble.’

All of them will mature [spiritually],
The one who sees the one who matures [spiritually]
[? The one who sees what happens [i.e. that God creates all events] ?]
[? The one who sees The One Who exists ?]
Will find.

“We are pleased with all of you,” we said,
We did not separate HIS human. [we did not discriminate among humans]
We joined from heart the selam [peace/greeting]
Of the one who said, “Selam.”

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.
