Not yours, my [our] Allah's creation; [about the child]
You are God's trustee

Everybody's sorrow is his/her child [Everybody's main occupation is his/her child]
However, he/she should know how to share his/her sorrow [the child's sorrow]
Not like this or like that
If he/she does not get your word
Try soft path
[do] Not [talk] about physical maturity,
But talk about spiritual maturity

Reading is good if loved [Going to school is good if one likes it]
Forcing kills even the little love [that may exist towards studying]
Not with forcing, try to let him/her love
Would he/she stay hungry if your wish does not come true?
Whatever his/her share [from God] is,
This is what one gets
If his/her share [from God] is to be hungry,
He/she would stay hungry if he/she even got three [graduation] degrees.
That's why; submit it [the situation] to God
[and] Try to let him/her love [reading, studying]

You should let the child know his/her childhood
If a word's owner is faulty,
Then the one (person) seeing the mistake speaks,
[he/she] Tells whatever is necessary.
This should not cause trouble for you,
Also, it should not give sorrow to the child.
If you throw stone to the fruit of the tree,
It [the fruit] would come to your hand wounded.
If you climb next to it, and get it,
[then] The path is convenient.
Do not be lazy.
What I am saying is clear.
The child is similar [analogy] to the fruit on the tree.
Some of them are on the closeby branch[es],
You can get them without trouble.
Some of them are in high branch[es],
Of course, this would require some trouble [effort].
However, since you are the owner of the tree,
Some trouble [effort] is the path of earth.
Even if you can not get [climb] next to it,
[then] You wait until it matures:
You open [hold] a bed sheet under [the tree], shake [the tree].
Is that trouble? [is that a big deal?]
You say, "How about if [a] bird pecks [the fruit]?"
If you think there is nothing else to do,
Then you submit it [that situation] to Allah.

Child is your trusted [child is trusted to you by God, or you are the temporary care giver],
You [should] take care of him/her as eye [as you would take care of your own eye].
Taking care is not a virtue[!]
It is a duty[!]
It is your dept to my [our] Allah.

If you count on your foot [feet], then you walk on road[s]
If you count on yourself, then you grow your child
However, the rule of growing your child
Is not beating him/her when he/she makes [a] mistake
[the rule is] To solve the cause that let him/her make the mistake

What is "realizing the reality"? It is "to submit"
What is "to submit"? It is "to know"
What is "to know"? It is "to see"
What is "to see"? It is to take infinetely what God gives
If [God gave] given, it means it is for good
Because no good [something that is not good] does not come from God
No human can love another human more than God [does]
Even the one that you call "my sweatheart child" is tied to you by body
Once the body [bodies] is [are] gone
You and your child are Him [God]

Maturity is not to seek the guilty
It is to find the root of the fault
The root of the fault starts
not from the child, but from you

Let us look for peace of heart, not word
Would you not shout when you wish?
My Allah has human
Human is always one [humans are always equal]
[However] Mother's right is ahead
Father has blood right
Mother has life right
Why is birth given to mother?
Why was mother chosen?
My Allah is never wrong in choice
Father loves as much as the heart can take
Mother [loves] as much as her life can give
Yes, she can give her life lovingly [she can die for her child willingly]

Let me say to the one who asks, "Is man superior than woman?"
Never[!]
If man has earth strength, woman has resistance power
Where do they get the patience?

In difficult moment just talk to Him [God],
God is the only One who can provide remedy
Human shares human's sorrow in words only,
Even if they are mother and father

We gave before [We told about this before]
Borning babies were less conscious in old days
[They are] more conscious in present day
My Allah opens the universe to [His, God's] human step by step
Not earlier, nor later [than necessary]
Each generation moves one curtain ahead

[God's] Representative says,

Each particle of mother prays for each particle of her child
On earth's situation woman has the attribute of creator
Because she gives birth

Did you say, "This is my child"?
Did you give him/her the morsel?
You claim ownership by saying "He/she is mine"
You console yourself by either laughing or scaring
He/she is the property of Nature, not of the one who gives birth
He is the human of God, not of the one who is clothing him/her
Let us love [him/her], let us let [him/her] love
Let us make his/her face laugh
If he/she wishes, let him/her put wings
Let him/her go around the world
Don't tell him/her "stop"
Don't tell him/her "hit the ones who are not from you"
You may break his/her wing
You may pluck the flowers growing in his/her heart
Do not forget:
The sun does not rise differently for you and me
[the sun] does not warm wealthy and poor differently
The child is also a sun
He/she gives sometimes light, sometimes fire
He/she came free,
Let him/her stay free
Let him/her be respectfull to the ones who came before him/her
Let him/her be full of love for the ones who come after him/her
