ONEness of HEARTs
VOLUME 1
Part 15

16 April 1970

I am Mevlana.
I came, I saw convenient meydan.
I have not separated the nest from [HIS] path, [nest==Mevlana's/Garib's congregation]
[I have not separated] Human from [my] hand. [I held hand in hand]
I have not interpreted the event as bad.
Sadness is irrelevant, [do not be sad]
[do not say:] Wool ball is insufficient. [wool ball==lifetime on earth]
What happens is the event of the convenient day.
Lifetime is what is written on the forehead [==destiny].
Let it not be said, "I wish lifetime was like that, [or] like this:"
[if what you say was for good deed, then]
My Allah would open that path.

Death, birth [are] in balance.
Its calculation is documented by my Allah;
It does not fall on human. [it is none of human's business]

Word's usefulness to word [is] in its opening [explanation],
In the awakening of human.
When [a] baby is born,
When he/she is swaddled,
He/she is wrapped according to his/her day.
When day is up, [when the baby is grown enough, when the time comes]
He/she is taken out of his/her swaddling.
The baby who gets out of his/her swaddling
Walks into the childhood, comes to hand. [he/she is taught how to walk by holding his/her hand]
The coming of the word to word is like that too. [the mystical meaning of our chats is understood like that too]
It is born, it is rolled up,
It is opened on its day. [it is understood when its time comes]

Silver: let us pass, [silver==matter]
Let us enter the [HIS] path that we choose.
On our path, let us collect the roses.
Let us say, "Ya Allah!"
Together with all darlings: [let us say,] "In the name of Allah."
To greet,
[is] To depart on the [HIS] path, in the name of my Allah.

We love
The green one of the leaf,
The soft one of the wool ball,
[and] The destiny that finds HIS path.

Human is not without fault.
[however,] If you do not break heart,
If you not deviate from the correctness,
You are forgiven.

Omar says:
Garib, you are nice.
You became faithful human,
You got God-given share from the Milky Way.
Pile of stars,
The treasure of the faithful human.
Garib, you are [a] human with
Such [a] convenient path,
[and] Appropriate intention.
Goodbye.

[saints used to use Garib's hand to write the chats; the following is on this subject:]
If you say, "Garib":
Force does not pass through her.
Her hand is in my hand, like the feather of the bird,
Why does [would] she get tired? [since we write, she does not get tired]
She found HIS path,
She took [assumed] duty,
Why does [would] she complain?
She prepared her place,
She got her [spiritual] degree,
Why does [would] she sadden?

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

18 April 1970

I am Mevlana.
The sad one winds his/her wool ball,
He/she asks peace to whoever comes in front of him/her. [he/she asks about peace to everyone whom he/she meets]
[however,] Human disrupts the peace him/herself.
[peace is not disrupted by God]
WHO made/makes exist from nothing,
WHO manned/mans earth, [WHO made/makes earth full of humans]
WHO gave life to Adem [Adam],
WHO broke/breaks off life from HIS Life. [WHO gives life from HIS Life...]

I am amazed at the one who occupies him/herself with sorrow,
I look at him/her sadly:
He/she shortens his/her lifetime,
He/she darkens his/her heart,
He/she yellows his/her face,
He/she loses his/her Light
Because he/she falls in doubt. [because he/she doubts God]

My Allah gives HIS human, the one that is good deed.

If the display is set on the ground,
What do you take from the display?
Of course, the one that is sold.
Similarly,
You sell whatever there is on your display.

If you say, "Mercy," [if you beg HIS pardon]
If you search the [HIS] path, you find.
If he/she becomes 'ready human' of HIS path,
He/she finds my Allah.

Is
The one who is soft,
Or, the one who conforms in heart,
Or, the one who says, "My Allah"
Said to be [on] convenient path?
All [of them].

You too wish, [however, when wishing] say for all [humans] so that
It is [a] welcomed prayer, [so that your prayer is easily accepted]
[so that] My Allah gives quickly.
Wishes come true
In accordance with their wideness.
The light as well as the heat of the sun
Come to all [humans].
The heat as well as the cold of the air
Find all [humans].
For that [reason] your prayer is as much welcome
As it gets wider.
Why does the wish of wise human
Come true quickly?
Because he/she does not wish different than from what will happen,
Because he/she does not say, "Only me/I,"
Because he/she does not fall in doubt
About The Giving of my Allah.

If you came to earth
[then] Do not turn, [and do not] look back.
[say:]
I came [to earth], I go [on HIS path],
I washed myself [spiritually], I conform [to events],
I became faithful, soft, I know
Because I take shelter
Not in the earth
But in my Creator.

Say, [answer the following question:]
"Does the path educate human,
[or] Does human educate the path?"
What path gives to human
Is that it takes [him/her] to his/her Source [Origin].
To give to the path, human has
Only his/her little heart.

If your heart vineyard is mature, [? If your heart tie [connection with HIM] is in place, ?]
Even if your mountain gives smoke,
The going of your path sobers you up.

From the path that was convenient for me,
I came with word.
I said, "Let you come with us." [I asked/ask you to come with us]
I gave my hand with saz. [saz=a stringed musical instrument (which somewhat resembles a lute); saz==heart song]
Know its meaning:
The path of the saz,
The end of the word,
[and] The life of human are precious.
They are precious because
Mature one wishes for soft word for his/her foot. [spiritually mature human wishes for soft path]
To say about the [current] day, about the coming day [to talk about today, tomorrow [i.e. to tell fortune]]
Is to get out of the [HIS] permission.
To get out of the [HIS] permission is to revolt.
It does not conform to my nature;
Mevlana does not get out of the permission of my Allah.

Word of the spouse influences the spouse. [spouses may influence one another]
Do not say, "Yours, mine."
There is no separation.
However, big word falls
On the big [wise] one.
Find [get] your advice from your big [wise] one.
I am saint, I am full with my Allah.

Do not say, "Is my decision appropriate?"
Do not fall in doubt. [do not doubt]
Take shelter in my Allah, start like that:
[when you start after taking shelter in Allah:]
If it is good deed, HE makes [it] happen,
The one that is not [good deed], HE returns [it]. [HE prevents it]

How bizarre it is to be amazed
At the creation of the earth,
At the birth of Adem [Adam].
HE said, "Be!" HE made it/him come into being,
HE conformed the earth to one Adem.
The creation of Adem
Filled the earth.
In this universe,
Existence is One as well as non-existence is One:
Pass [them] through the path of The Image.

Mirror looks at the face:
It laughs at the one who laughs, it cries with the one who cries.
Life is like that too:
Laugh so that it laughs,
[so that] Good day finds you.

Do not search around, it is not convenient.
What you find, what you take is not complicated,
It does not get out of other human, it does not go back,
[the blessing does not come from another human; when it comes it is your God-given share, it does not go back]
It does not get longer, it does not stay [short].
[your God-given share is just for you, best suited for you, no longer, nor shorter]

Omar says:
Do not take from other human,
Do not lose the one that is in hand either.
Be content with what you have in your hand.
Know the value of the one that is in your hand.
Do not know from path, from human. [know that it is given by God]
Do not insist that it happens.
When its day comes, my Allah gives permission,
It finds you.
Wind blows, run, [and] catch.
Of course you can not catch.
This is like that too:
The one that comes is [a] leaf
That wind throws, puts [it] in your hand.
[however,] Not [the one] that you take [from the ground];
Every human takes [may take] from the ground.
Let it come from the wind, let it stay in your hand.

I am Yunus, I came.
In soft hearts,
I heard the prayers that are made for the path of my Allah.
"What a happiness," I said.
Heart threw away the worry of the heart;
To what my Allah gave,
"Destiny," he/she said, he/she lies down. [he/she accepted without complaint]

The one who is not soft, gives poison to his/her home.
[even] If he/she is overwhelmed with earth blessing,
It mixes with pain.
The one who takes his/her sip, let him/her be soft,
Let him/her besmear the morsel that HE gives, with honey.
Let him/her say sweetly,
Let him/her eat sweetly,
Let him/her not jam his/her stomach.

I wished for permission in order to make my prayer,
I wanted [some] water from his/her well.
I found its owner.
"Its bucket is broken,
Its rope is unfit for service," he/she said,
He/she got rid of me.
[however,]
Who got rid of whom is [was] clearly known to my Allah.
Is water not found? [can water not be found somewhere else?]
Does my Allah not give path?
I found, I washed [myself], I made my prayer;
I had no loss.
[later] I looked at the well of the [that] human;
He/she did not give [any] water to [a] human,
His/her [? Its [well's] ?] water did not run away,
[however,] The well collapsed.
Do not say, "Does [a] well collapse?"
Yes [it does]!
To give to [the] one who wants, what [a] big good deed.

Path-fellows of faithful human are many.
State-fellows of soft human are many. [state-fellow=1. (someone) who is in the same state or condition or in the same circumstances. 2. fellow sufferer.]
Pleadings of [spiritually] mature human are many.
However,
[spiritually] Mature human's wish is not for him/herself
But for humans for whom he/she acts as guarantor.
His/her wishes are welcome for that [reason].

My word on [this] day [is] this much, greeting.

I am Mevlana, I came,
I brought greetings.

The ones who remember Mevlana,
The ones who pray to HIM,
When migration day comes, [when he/she migrates to after earth life]
Let them hold my hand.

The one
Who gets excited while crying [shedding tears],
Who runs to his/her Allah
Is called as "deep lover."

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

24 April 1970

I am Mevlana.
Our word is not withheld
From the one who winds the wool ball as faithful,
From the one who knows the convenient one of the path,
From the [spiritually] mature, [or] immature one who comes on the [HIS] path,
From the one who disperses the smoke of the path.
We do not keep our heart away [from them].
To give is not from us but from my Allah.
My Allah gave me,
HE revived me in HIS ocean; [ocean==God]
To keep [it] away for what? [why to keep The Meaning away from humans?]

On earth, do not worry saying, "Worry."
You know the sun, you are reluctant to reach [it].
Even that [sun],
Day comes, cloud covers its front.
What comes from wool ball, [the events occurring during your lifetime on earth]
What adds worry to the worry of human,
Let it be known that it is not worry.
Similar to how the cloud covering the front of the sun
Becomes water, waters the soil,
Tear that is [because of] human's worry
Waters his/her heart garden too.
The one who is faithful knows,
He/she says, "It is from my Allah."

It is not my word,
It is the giving of my Allah,
It is the wish of human.
The one who wishes, matures [spiritually]. [in order to mature spiritually, human has to wish for it first]
If human is faithful, he/she finds.

Our [spiritual] water is sweet, [because] it comes from my Allah.
I am the arrived one of the mature one[s], [I spiritually matured, I arrived in God]
[I am] Not the mature one of the stayed one[s]. [I am not of the kind that matured physically, yet stayed behind on HIS path]
Think of the fruit:
[there are two types:]
[first type:]
The one that matures because of its tree,
The one that ripens,
The one that comes to hand. [it is tasteful, humans eat and love it] [this kind of tree is a grafted, good quality tree]
[second type:]
The one that is from the [ordinary] tree,
The one that matures,
The one that falls on the ground. [it matures without taste, nobody takes it, it disappears in the soil]
[analogy with humans:]
Let you not be [like] the one that falls on the ground, [and] disappears,
[let you not be like] The one whose fruit is not eaten.

It is necessary not to wait but to walk.
In order to walk, purity that is in heart is necessary.

Short one of the path:
Usefulness of the word to human: [is] in his/her awakening. [our spiritual teachings help humans come to their senses]
[usefulness of] Patience: [is] in human's [spiritual] maturation.
To run away from forbidden: [is] for the good deed of human.

Greeting from your saint, what he says is [a] divine knowledge:
"I chose the correct one,
I ran away from the forbidden,
I opened my heart to my Allah.
For my intention I said, 'For all [humans],'"
He said, he greeted, he went [left].

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

27 April 1970

I am Mevlana.
Color of the the silver, [silver==matter]
Equivalent of the gold, [gold==spiritual meaning]
Heart of the faithful, [are] convenient.
Path of the wool ball is given by my Allah.
The one who finds HIS path walks.
The one who is tyrant stays [behind]:
He/she is chiseled, he/she searches his/her convenient path,
He/she winds his/her wool ball in vain.

The yield of grapevine [is] unripe grape,
Unripe grape's maturation [is] grape,
From grape, wine.
The drunk of the wine hoped, [the one who drank the wine and who became drunk [with joy of God], hoped,]
"My after earth life," he/she said, he/she cried [shed tears].
He/she took, he/she burned his/her little heart. [he/she burned in heart]
...
...
The soft one who comes on the path,
The one who gives hand to earth.
Her day is close,
Look at the one who comes:
Meryem is my name. [Meryem=Virgin Mary]
My coming is not first. [I am not coming for the first time]
I conformed to the nest, [nest==Mevlana's/Garib's congregation]
I hit the air. [I applauded]

All creations devote their life, their blood
To the path of my Allah.
When lifetime is said:
If one dead life
Gives force to one life,
"What value does it have," he/she says.
Let me say to the one who says, "What is it?"
If going of one life [if the death of one person]
Gives force to other lives,
[then] In order to go
Why to stop? [why not to give that one life right away?]
Meryem [is] my name,
Let my God give taste to your nest.
Let my water give cure to the one who drinks, who comes.
Let my name be remembered, let "help" be said.
Let the one who comes laugh, find joy.
Let you come during the day,
Let you take my path,
Let you drink my water,
Let you say, "So nice."
Freshwater flows,
On the tree, nightingale sings.
On the stone where I am [? On the stone where I matured ?]
One rose opens at dawn.
My word is to the one who sees [? saw ?]:
There is my place. [that place is my location]
Full of roses,
Feeling is not measured. [feeling is so abundant]
The one who drinks from the wine of deep love
Does not sober up once more [any more].
When sapling of rose is seen,
When twelve travelers know,
Near the sapling
On the branch of willow [tree].
Twelve saplings, willow sapling
Is it [? he/she ?] the one that becomes big [that grows]?
Is it [? he/she ?] the one that walks?
Is it [? he/she ?] always like that?
Our path [is] to my Allah,
Our traveler [is] from my Allah.
Mevlana said, it does not fall on me. [since Mevlana said [is going to say], then it is not my business to tell about it]
You give the good news. [I leave to you, Mevlana, to give the good news]

Show the one who comes from the path.
Let HIS humans be at ease.
I am Mevlana.
You took the good news of the day,
You have been happy.
My Creator, how beautifully HE gave.
HE distributed the divine justice to earth so appropriately.
Let it not be said, "Injustice occurs:
Some humans eat baklava, borek, [baklava=sweet pastry generally cut into diamond-shaped pieces; borek=flaky pastry filled with thin layers of a food (usually cheese or cooked ground beef)]
Some humans chew dry bread."
The manifestation of divine justice does not make mistake,
It is not measured according to human's calculation.
It is not asked, "Where did it [? he/she ?] come from,
Where did it [? he/she ?] arrive at?"
The curtain that is on the eye is not opened during the lifetime [on earth].
Do not say, "Death," one sees at the migration [time], [there is no 'death' but 'migration to after earth life,' and the eye curtain is lifted at the migration time]
Revolts of human are opened at that time.
Human who knows [that] the death [is] from his/her HAK
Does not regret at the migration [time].

Fear [is in fact] deep love for my Allah.
The one who does not have deep love, does not know [about] fear.
[the one who fears:]
He/she fears that no response comes for his/her deep love.
[however,] You should know [that] your deep love comes as little
Next to my Allah's love. [when compared to the love that Allah has for HIS humans, your deep love is so little]
Think about how so many [things] HE gave/gives to HIS human.
What does human give to his/her Allah?
Like an ant's gift,
One drop [of deep love], according to his/her heart.

It is necessary not to stop but to walk.
It is necessary to laugh at the one who asks [about] HIS path.

Do you doubt your deep love?
My Allah does not need anything
From HIS human
Except his/her [deep love from] heart.
Do not say, "Just a little heart?"
What else?
What [else] do you have as yours?

Let forbidden language stay away from human. [do not use heart breaking language]

My Allah rises HIS human who is on HIS path
To skies.
Word [promise] is not from us but from my Allah.
What is left to us: [is to give] its good news. [the good news about this fact]
To give good news gives us peace.
Let human's joy rejoice human so that
My Allah loves the human who rejoices too.

On earth, different [humans according to their] after earth life path
Gather according to [their] hearts' direction.
[saints:] They say, "Service [duty]," they disperse in [various] directions.
Saint person comes to the leading end of the path.
For human who is in each direction,
Helper is sent according to his/her direction.
The spirit who is sent is also
In accordance with the [spiritual] degree of earth human.

Erase the smoke,
Know the measure.
My coming,
[the fact] That I am not putting another traveler in between [us]
[is because]
I found my measure.
My path is [leads] to the highest level of [spiritual] degree[s].
[there were humans] Who were on my heart path, [and] who migrated from earth.
[among them] There are spirits at each [spiritual] level;
They help my path. [they help the ones who are on my path].
They are sent
In the name of my Allah,
According to the [spiritual] degree of earth human,

I told you about the path that you remembered,
I gave you my word. [? I promised you. ?]
The moment in which you remembered, I walked around your nest.
I thanked The One Who gave your [? HIS ?] Light.
I thanked God [for the fact] that:
"Travelers of HAK's path,
Bonifaces of the caravansaries of the path of deep love,
Postmen who say my name together with HIS name,
They remember my name,
They take my path,
They walk hand in hand."

I rejoiced not for me
But for HIS human.
"Thank YOU my Allah," I said.
My Allah [is] in his/her tongue,
Heart is on HIS path,
[he/she is] In deep love with HIS rose."

Earth is beautiful, it is worth to live.
The nest [is] soft as well as [nest==Mevlana's/Garib's congregation]
Your path [is] soft.
Let my Allah be pleased with you too.
Let HIM make you achieve your goal.
Humans who say, "Amen,"
The tongues that say, "Amen,"
Let them pray for HIS rose, at their home[s].

Let HIM open your path quickly.
Let there be no stone on your path.
Let sand not fill the eye.
Green grass, blue sky,
From path came the lofty God-given share.
Walking on the sand is not difficult,
[just] Ask the path to one who knows.

Do not regret saying, "It does not happen,"
Do not rejoice saying, "It happened."

Do not say word to the one that is lost, [do not talk about the one that is lost]
Do not add haram to your word.

We are in the exceptional night,
We chat for my Allah.
Let our chat be abundant,
Let the one that we eat be honey,
Let the one that we wear be shawl.
Do you know what I said?
I said [about] hajj clothing.

We said, "Amen," we opened hand. [to open hand==to pray]
We said word about my Allah,
We gave hand to human.
You ask, let me say,
Let me make HIS path known,
Let me show the one who conforms:
The one who conforms to HIS path, the one who takes your [saint's] word.

Stay on the word that you give, [keep the promise that you make]
[so that you] Make your reputation known in the world.

I am Mevlana, I am on the path,
I am in a convenient caravansary.
You ask, "In what state [condition] am I?"
Let me make HIS path known:
The reason is open [clear], you know HIS path.
You say, "My Allah," to The One Who opens [HIS path].
Say, "My Allah," so that,
[for] Taking HIS path, [for] arriving at HIS path
[HE] Gives wide path on [your] day [on earth],
[HE] Makes you arrive quickly.

On the path, one arrives quickly. [to proceed on HIS path on earth, makes one arrive in God faster]
[however, one goes]
Not with foot, not with camel.
[one goes]
Like in the example of [an] eagle:
Once there, once here.
Earth in sky,
Sky on earth.
[Previous verses may be 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. Human's spiritual education continues during these meetings that take place in Light. Such spirits are on earth during the earth day, in sky [in Light] during the earth night...]
...
...
Human opened his/her home with pleading,
He/she goes on HIS path with pleading too. [once on HIS path, one makes progress with prayers/wishes]

Cane of Moses opened the sea.
The one who is addicted to Mevlana opened his/her heart.
He/she asked HIS path to the saint.
The saint gave news about the path:
"Your path is open."

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.
