ONEness of HEARTs

Part 54

29 September 1977

I am Mevlana.
Human enters the peace at the place
Where there is pleading,
Where he/she finds the order [orderliness].
If there is knot in cloth belt, [if belt made from cloth is tied around the waist]
Order is seen on [around] the waist.

Let one not say,
“Leaf on ground,
[there is] Soil in destiny.” [let one not say ‘we will die and become soil’]
Let one not count the steps
Of the horse that goes to race.

If you say,
“The one that happens at the neighbor?
The one that appears at the doorstep?”
Then you put distance
Between you and your neighbor.
Let there be
Neither doorstep
Nor let the word pass [through the walls].
Let its air breeze sweetly.

Let us say,
“We proceeded on the path to the new one,
We saw the old one in hal,
We bunched The Beautiful One with love.”

Let us record the event as temporary.
The one that is on the surface passes
Not with weapon
But with ease.

In the current that you will take,
In the detailed presentation that you will know,
Let you say, “My duty,”
Let you put on display the duty
That you take,
That you desire.

He/she looks at the page and the page,
HIS human pours water to the rose. [HIS human [who is on HIS path] irrigates the rose, he/she waits patiently, rose grows slowly / HIS human tries to understand ONEness of HEARTS…]
[on the other hand, instead of interpreting our chats him/herself:]
If he/she asks each one who comes,
He/she becomes
Not interpreter
But [[he/she becomes] like] ‘gorucu’; [gorucu==person who gathers information about a bride candidate]
He/she fills his/her day with watching.

The one who finds place in his/her pleasure [the one who acts in accordance with his/her own pleasure]
Is the one who ends his/her path in caravansary.
However, our path is
Not from the ones that end in caravansary.
But for the ones who go trough the caravansary.
[Previous verses may be better understood under the light of the following information: Saint is the boniface of the spiritual caravansary. Human who comes to earth is the traveler. Some humans enter the caravansary, get spiritual education, and continue their journey like that…]

If you say, “Satiety is necessary,”
I say, “Conformity is necessary.” ['to conform to events' is necessary...]

The one who comes like in the example of swan
Is the one who decorates his/her place. [? Is the one who decorates HIS earth. ?]
The one who decorates his/her place [? The one who decorates HIS earth ?]
Is the one who nourishes his/her day.
Our aim is to be filled through heart,
Is to mature [spiritually] in hal.
“Let me find in spare,
Let me take in nacre,” you say;
Neither is spare necessary
Nor is nacre, aim.

If you ask path from bird,
“For the one that flies,” it says.
If you ask path to rabbit,
“For the one that runs away,” it says.
If you ask path from fish,
“For the one that dives,” it says.
Each being that is asked
Says its own path. [analogy with humans: each human recommends his/her own spiritual path...]

Let one not say,
“I have been from the ones who are abused,
I wound my wool ball as spare.” [wool ball==lifetime on earth]
There is no spare one of wool ball,
Death does not come the day on which it is remembered;
Birth does not develop on counted days. [birth==to come to one’s senses] [spiritual education does not occur in a short period of time…]

Each event comes as it is written;
By saying and saying, “Worry,”
HIS human sees him/herself as worried

"Let us come to the display,
Let us set up the support,"
He said, my Yunus came to word: [he joined the chat]
In work,
Earth’s gravity is considered;
In measure,
One conforms to that circuit.
If order [orderliness] is not seen,
Then base is turned to The Reality.
“What is earth’s gravity in the work?” is said.
The one who does not eat
Is the one who does not know what he/she eats.
When it is like that
Order [orderliness] is disrupted.
What is meant by ‘work’ is
Human’s body;
[what is meant by] Earth’s gravity [is]
Disorder in life.
If you give meat to lamb,
It does not eat
Because it does not conform to its work.
If we assume that it eats,
It is contradictory to earth’s gravity.
Human’s work conforms to the order [orderliness] too.
If you say, “The one that I saw in my dream,”
If you tie your day to dark, [if you interpret your dream unfavorably]
It comes as contradictory to earth’s gravity.

We gave before:
“Let wideness be human’s path,”
We said.
Neither does fear nor judgment
Extend human’s lifetime,
Nor does it shorten either.

If I take handkerchief in my hand,
If I look at my direction on the path,
Do I ask HIS human,
”Am I on my path?”
In the subject,
There is interpretation like in the example of tree:
I planted sapling,
I gave its water;
Does my tree grow?
Do its leaves increase [in number]?
Does it bear fruit?
If you planted the sapling, it grows;
Refer [transfer/submit] to your Allah.
If you say, “It did not grow,”
Plant another sapling.
If that one is not sufficient either,
Plant once more.
If all of them grow,
It is more beautiful.

Be entrusted to my Allah.
Do not separate
The one who hears, the one who conforms
From one another.
Do not judge
The one who loves, the one who does not love
Not even from [in] heart.
Judgment belongs to The Creator.

The progress of the lesson is according to the order [orderliness]. [our chats teach according to the following order:]
Date tree is from the ones that promenade,
The order [orderliness] of its leaf is from the ones that solve.
“How?” is said.
It is known [that]:
There is no branch of date;
Its body strengthens the leaf.
Body and leaf are not separate:
It took the branch out from in between.
Voila, the solution is there.
The record is given in our nest. [nest==Mevlana’s/Garib’s congregation]
Each chat is opened by conforming to the order [orderliness].
On each page,
Not different
But the whole order [orderliness] is given.
Like in the example of date,
Even though each branch nourishes the body, [each chat explains The Whole]
Its place can not be deliberated as separate.


I am Mevlana,
I said,
I gave with word.
Let you be in soft order [orderliness],
[let you be]
From the ones who conform.
Let you know the [spiritual] washer
In value, not on journey.
Value is in Essence,
Not in word.
Journey is on path
Not in eye.

Let you say,
“I will conform to the new one,
I will erase the worry.”
Let you put point to interrogation. [do not question the events]
It is
Neither knot nor satiety,
It is only conformity.

Let you be entrusted to my Allah.

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

30 September 1977
(Birthday anniversary of Hazrat Mevlana)

I am Mevlana.
Hearts [are] pleased.
We [you] matured [spiritually] in nest;
In each one who comes,
We saw love for The Lofty One.
We pleaded saying,
“Let selam [peace/greeting] be,
Let him/her find him/herself in all [humans].”
Our face [is] with HAK,
Our heart [is] for HAK.
In all [humans],
One takes from birth, [birth==to come to one’s senses]
One gives to satiety. [When one comes to his/her senses, one knows The Reality, one conforms to events without any complaint; this leads to moral satiety...]
With each hal,
Chat is wished.
Let my Allah be pleased.

Our place is open to the one who knows,
Our heart [is open] to the one who asks.
We give in accordance with your wish,
We see The Beautiful One in each event.
If we say,
“Our love [is] open
To the one who takes path softly, [? To the one who takes soft path, ?]
To the one who finds the record on the day,”
It is hal of earth.
We opened our eye to the birth of day,
We closed [our eye] to the setting [of day],
We weaved the lifetime like that.
It is taken [as] long-short,
Days are counted to [for] lifetime.
We stayed between the birth and the setting of day
We bent forward, we conformed to the order [orderliness].
We embraced,
“The One That is adorned,” we said.
We saw
The color in flowers,
The harmony in water.
We knew like that
The One Who sets up the balance in each event.

My Yunus came to word:
“You came [to earth],
You took,
You knew [The Meaning],
You conformed to WHAT you knew,
You became [spiritually] mature with WHAT you conformed to,”
He said,
He gave the summary of the lifetime.

Our day
Does not make tomorrow be told.
Tomorrow
Does not make today be searched.

The one who loves
Does not make the one who loves
Be hurt.
Why?
[because]
He/she does not cause heart to be broken.

Path [is] ours,
Caravansary [is] ours.
The one who comes, the one who goes,
The one who asks, the one who searches
[are] Ours.
If I ask, “WHOM do we belong to?”
We, to Us;
All of Us, to The Lofty One.

The one who searches
Does not ask [about] the curved [wrong],
Does not mix bitter and sweet.
Honey is eaten,
It is loved as it is eaten [on its own].
Pepper is only added to food.

Let us say, “Path is convenient,”
Let us connect our path to chat.

If his/her vision found its value, [vision==to see HIM in HIS creations]
[then] What he/she will say is Beautiful.
If he/she knew The Support,
[then] WHAT he/she will conform to is Special.
If he/she dispersed the smoke,
If he/she covered the page [of the past events],
If he/she saw what happened as it is [? If he/she saw the one who matures [spiritually] as he/she is ?]
[then] He/she finds like in the example of my Merkez,
In each event, your place takes its circle.

The Reality is in the ONEness of manyness.
The Reality is in the abundance of WHAT is being taken.

My Merkez says:
The order of the tree,
Promenading one of HIS human[s],
Sensing one of the saint[s]
Are known.
Yet cause is searched in every event.
Of course there is cause of the event:
The Creator shows one’s place, HIS path.
If
“Why does yogurt turn sour?”
Is said,
Then cause is asked.
The Event is
In The Reality,
Within The Order [Orderliness].

Past does not become cover
To [for] the future.
Day covers the one that passed
Because there is no turning back.
Each baby who is born
Is brighter than the one who was born one day ago.
What is meant by ‘to be brighter’:
With load of knowledge.
“How?” is being said.
Let it not be forgotten that
In the universe that is being renewed in every moment,
The one who is born is renewed too.
It is being given from the wideness. [wideness==human who leaves his/her earth load, rises spiritually. Similar to how human sees a wider range when he/she climbs a mountain, he/she sees spiritually wider...]

“How does the renewal of the universe occur?”
Is being said.
Is there conformity in the knowledges that are taken?
Of course there is.
What does smoke become at the place where it goes?
Where does it accumulate?
How is water’s flow connected?
In the universe
Of which there is no turning [back],
Of which each moment does not conform to one another,
WHAT is The One That connects
The one that is one before, to the one that is one after?
Is IT ever thought about?
We gave to question. [we ask you]

Word and Essence are connected,
Beauties are said.
Yet the order of the universe is controlled by current.
In each moment, each particle is
Renewed-refreshed by current.
Current is the event that refreshes the coming into being
Of the deep love that you feel in your heart,
Of the food that you eat at your home.
Solution is searched,
“Atom,” is being said,
It is divided into particles.
Still, solution is given
To the one who searches only.
When ‘current’ is said,
Solution is much above human’s knowledge.

I am Mevlana.
In my Merkez’s chat,
We described the order [orderliness] that renews.
We presented each event
To the one who opens and to the one who chooses.
If
“What name did we give to what you call as ‘current’?”
Is said:
Let us say: THE POWER
THAT does not leave without water,
THAT knows not to be without air,
[THAT knows] To add the new one to the new one.
What is meant by ‘THE POWER THAT knows’:
The One That sets up barrage [dam] to the order
Of the universe that is under my Allah's command.
THE POWER THAT connects in moment
The one that rotates and the one that is extinguished [stars, planets, and black holes]
To one another.
IT is of course The Manifestation of HAK.
Voila, The Power That makes each one who is born
More savant than the one who is born one day ago
Is That Power.
What is meant by ‘savant’ is of course not erudite.
The one who knows two is considered
Superior to the one who knows one.
On the other hand, IT makes each one who loves
Superior to the one who knows.

“Let my arms open,
Let my love disseminate,” is being said.
The same love is seen
In HIS each human who comes as guest.
HIS each human owns
The Building that I look for,
The door that I open.

One talks about love.
When one is born, ‘saz’ is played. [saz= a stringed musical instrument]
Let us rejoice
Not for birth
But for [spiritual] maturity.
Let us say,
“We took HIS Current abundantly,
We knew abundance like that.”
CURRENT
Is loaded with love,
Is loaded with knowledge.
Yet
IT is each human’s own shape.
IT takes shape in [according to] human’s intention.
ITS Manifestation is seen in each one who/that exists.
When we say,
“Let us try to conform,”
Is that.
Love
Makes [one] find,
Makes the one who conforms, [spiritually] mature.

Let it not be forgotten:
There is
No turning back
But living each moment.
Each moment, if he/she knew [The Meaning],
Is benefit for HIS human.
WHAT is given by face,
WHAT is sensed by Current
Is HIM.
The order [orderliness]
That connects dream to the day,
That [spiritually] educates human in event
Is within the influence of The Current.

“How does IT manifest in day and night?” is said.
What changes is only human’s order [orderliness].
When
“Divine merit of pleading
Is a lot at night,”
Is said:
It is The Current That is taken without additive.
“How ‘without additive’?” is said.
The one who does not conform to the order [orderliness] of HIS soft human,
The one whose hal does not find his/her [other human's] hal
Conforms in solitude.
The moment in which he/she conforms,
He/she hears.
What is meant by ‘hearing':
Beauty fills his/her heart.

We entered the building,
We set up the [spiritual] table,
We became One with all [humans].
We loved the ones who decorate the tree
Like in the example of leaf.
To the one who nourishes its root,
"Let my Allah be pleased [you],"
We said.
Let my Allah be pleased.
All of you, you remembered,
You asked about the birth.
You connected my hal
To earth’s hal.
We are pleased,
Be pleased,
With love, give hand in hand.
Love each guest who comes to our nest [nest==Mevlana’s/Garib’s congregation]
Without additive. [with pure love]
The one who loves
Becomes one of the ones who are loved.
Whatever he/she says,
However he/she conforms,
Let him/her find for his/her [spiritual] maturity,
Let him/her write his/her enrollment
In the notebook of love.
Witness is not asked from us.
Whoever he/she is,
Enrollment is never erased.
Even if he/she matures [spiritually] thanks to moon,
Even if he/she asks the star, [moon==Hazrat Ali; star==saint]
The One Whom he/she asks, is of course,
Still The Lofty One.

Know that:
The moment in which he/she asks
Is [at] night.
Because both moon and star are at night.
Yet both day and night
Are in the writing. [writing==1. destiny; 2. ONEness of HEARTs]
The one who loves during the day:
Night is not your cover.
[Previous verses 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. His/her spiritual education continues during these meetings that take place in Light…]

She came with armful of love,
Meryem [Virgin Mary] entered the word. [Meryem joined the chat]
If there is no basket,
If it is not filled with prayer[s],
[then] One does not come to the display,
One does not ask [about] the apple.
[similarly]
If Darling is not searched,
HE is not found.
We came with the one who searched.
The day on which we stay in his [Hazrat Mevlana’s] nest,
[the day on which] We are remembered with love,
We shared the night.
Stop did not occur,
He did not know any fault, [he did not see any fault in HIS creations]
He loved,
He did not have enough of his/her day. [he loved his day on earth very much] [It is thought that in previous verses Hazrat Meryem talks about Hazrat Mevlana. It is also thought that in the following verses she addresses members of the nest...]
What he/she took at chat,
Where he/she stayed in interpretation,
We joined [them] with our heart.
Let my Allah be pleased.
“Let the ones who love give hand
To the one who searches,” we said,
We set up congregation to unite in ONEness
While being knee by knee with close friend. [knee by knee==idiom that means ‘closely together’]
[say] To the one who says:
“Power [is] in knee, [in prostrating oneself]
Cross [is] in us”: [say to the one who thinks that Islam and Christianity are different:]
We leaned
Not on what is in hand
But on WHAT fills the heart;
Like that, we came to ONEness.
In ONEness we found braveness,
She said, Meryem embraced Darlings.
“My chat will come into being,
At each chat, Meryem will come together with you,”
She said, she walked.

Let my Allah be pleased with all [humans].

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.
