BEYOND SUFISM

home        ONEness of HEARTs:

SERVANT = ASH = BURNING WITH GOD'S LOVE = BECOMING ONE WITH GOD

[Texts written between square brackets are added for the sake of making the meaning clearer.]

I am Mevlana,
...
The other meaning of "servant" is "ash"
Ash is maturity of "being" [you are created, you mature, (burn with God's love) you become ash]
[God] first says "be" then makes you ash
When [God] says ash, [God] lets you join [God's] being
When God says "be servants,"
You understand it as [it were] related to serving [God]
The real meaning is "join (to) God" [become One with God]
In the past we had said that we would explain Kuran
The parts that you misunderstood [misunderstand] would be corrected
There [in Kuran] you read that God says:
"Be my servant"
[God] does not put the point to prevent the interpretation
[then, by misinterpretation] Humans separated [humans from God]
My Allah does not say "be servant"
My Allah says "be ash" [join (to) Me, become One with God]

I am Mevlana
...
We looked for [God] on the mountains, in the vineyards
God gave book[s], we have read [all the books]
We have studied [in detail] Kuran
"Ninety nine for me, one for you"
We solved the puzzle when we arrived [when we reached God]
One is for the matter, ninety nine is in the soul that you have
