PITYING
I am Mevlana
...
Don't say "it is the suffering of the soft one"
Don't pity that [God's] human
What is there to pity in what my Allah gives?
(?)
No! It should not be misunderstood
[Some people think that] Human does not merit suffering
[There is] The opinion that [he/she] does not merit [suffering]
[However] Nothing is given to human that he/she does not merit
Give love to human
The one to be pitied is the one who does not know how to love
...

...
You would not know sweet before eating sour [hot]
You can not look at the sun before seeing the darkness
You can not learn to love before knowing to pity
...
27 February 1972
I am Mevlana
...
No question should be made [asked] about the one who diverted his/her path
One should say, "My Allah wished it like this"
Is he/she your human so that you think [about him/her]?
You [would] keep [yourself] away from pitying if you [can] see Creator in Creator's human
...

...
Pitying is not the duty of human
What I am saying should not be misunderstood
I did not say, "Be pitiless"
Find each event in my Allah's giving [realize that each event is from God]
Are you greater than God that you pity what God gives?
[just] Perform [the] humanhood duty that you have
If you see someone in need
Help him/her as much as you can
This is what [all that] you should do
...

I am Mevlana
...
Don't be [among] the ones who pity what is coming from Him [God]
Don't be [among] the ones who keep away what gives from Him [God]
What comes, goes
What is left [behind], pays you
Do not keep away what [God] gives
[do] Not [give] from pity [do not give because you pity him/her]
To share should be your intention
[For example, the tree [from God] gives the fruits. Do not keep away the tree from other humans.
Give [share] the fruits of the tree to [with] others.
Even when all fruits are shared [gone], [do not worry] the tree will give you more. You should give, not
because you pity, but for the sake of sharing.]
...

I am Mevlana
...
Mercy should be known [given]
Without saying [discriminating] young [or] old
Without breaking [damaging] the branch of the tree
Without letting the blind [person] fall
By feeding the one who can not find food
Let us leave pitying to my Greatest Rabb [God]
[God is the] One who sees
[God is the] One who knows
[God is the] One who sends the knowing [saint, sends help]

FORGIVING
I am Mevlana
...
Let human ask pardon
Let the one [person] whose heart is broken forgive
...
(?/?)1970
I am Mevlana
...
Human is not without fault [there is no human who does not do any mistake]
If you do not break heart [of other humans]
If you do not divert from [the] right [path]
You will be forgiven
...
13 April 1970
I am Mevlana
...
It should not be said, "My sin will not be forgiven"
Who ever has my Allah's path as direction
Should not suspect [worry about] forgiveness
...
25 September 1970
I am Mevlana
...
Gold does not get rusted, even in mud
You hold [it] under water [you wash it]
You rub [it] with hand
[Gold] Cleans
Gold does not lose from [being] gold [gold does not lose from its value] [gold also means "divine meaning," "divine knowledge"]
Human should not feel sad by saying, "I made [a] mistake"
Of course pardon is ordered [granted] to the one who asks pardon from my Allah
He/she is cleaned with [God's] light
[as long as] The heart of human is nice
[as long as] He/she does not repeat the mistake that he asked pardon for
I said he/she gets light
[otherwise] Shade will cover the light [heart gate will close. For an explanation of "heart gate" please read the
Spirit page of Beyond Sufism site.]

12 February 1971
I am Mevlana
...
You wish a sieve from my Allah
You sieve your sand
Then, if you mix them [the coarse and the fine sand] together
What good does sieving have? [what is sieving good for?]
Let it be known that
To ask pardon
Is similar to forgiveness in case of [a] repentance
You ask pardon because you know [about] your mistake
Repeating the same mistake means that you know [as if] my Allah [is] far
[Repeating the same mistake means that you do not know that God is in you,
that you are closing the "heart gate"]
...
4 November 1971
I am Mevlana
...
How much ever big the mistake of human may be
It is never bigger than the forgiveness of my Allah
As long as [a] human's right does not keep the human [as long as the human does not owe to another human]
[unless a human harms, cheats, breaks the heart of a human, all mistakes may be forgiven by God]
[In the case when a human harms, cheats, breaks the heart of another human, then God forgives the
offender only if the victim forgives the offender.]
...

...
Even if you repent one-thousand times
If the one whom you broke the heart does not forgive you
It will not be written as a merit [you won't be excused, your one-thousand repentances
would not even make [count as] one merit]
...
22 April 1976
I am Mevlana
...
Let us ask pardon for each event, for each mistake
Let us say, "Creator knows, let the created [one] forgive"
Because our mistake is [committed] toward the created [one], not toward Creator
...
30 May 1980
I am Mevlana
...
Let us say, "You have the greatest of forgiveness my Rabb [God]"
Let us never enter into sulking [let us never sulk]
Let us say to the one who stays sulked [who sulks]
"Are you greater than my Rabb, [my Rabb who is] the Greatest Forgiver?
You say, 'I will never forgive'
You enter a race with my Allah?
The One who forgives your [, and] my many biggest mistakes is my Rabb [God]
The One who likes friendship is my Rabb [God]
On this day, in this night
On each day, in each night
[God] Loves the ones who forgive, [God] brings them higher"
