ONEness of HEARTs
VOLUME 3
Part 24

12 December 1976

I am Mevlana.
We tried
To give the new one, [the new one==ONEness of HEARTs]
To spread on the soft path
Since the day we came.
We saw The One That is in hearts,
The one that fills with The Beautiful One.

“Concrete example,” is being said,
The meaning of each event is sought according to wishes.
The one that happens is certain;
The one who matures [spiritually], matures.
The one that is written, is seen,
Lifetime is driven like that. [human lives like that]

If it is said,
“Does surgeon cut?
Is the [spiritual] washer offended?”,
Then one falls in irrelevant interpretation of events.
The one who is necessary
Matures [spiritually] on the day that it is necessary.
[spiritual] Immaturity [occurs]:
Not because of the one that is born because of the wish, [not because of the events that occur according to one's wish]
But when it is according to the writing,
When its necessity is seen.

There is no one who is without OWNER.
If ‘remedy is from whom?’ is said,
One falls in fault:
THE Creator rules.

Standard of value is because of intention. [human gets his/her spiritual degree in accordance with his/her intentions]

(Question: Our measures?)

Eyvallah.

My Yunus wishes for word,
He says to the one who asks from heart:
HE is The One Who knows,
HE is The One Who sees,
HE is The One Who traces HIS human's destiny.
We came from HIM, we will return [to HIM].
We will of course laugh at events.
We will ask the path of Darling from ‘mah’ and shah.
“What is ‘mah,’ who is shah?” is being said.
Mah: [is] the one who looks from coming to returning, with bright heart.
Shah ignites torch in hearts.
Mah, the one who takes;
Shah, the one who gives.
Sun and moon. [sun==Prophet Mohammad; moon==Hazrat Ali]
If you give to the meaning: [the meaning is:]
HIS Representative and his close friend humans who knew about his ‘mirac,’ [mirac [read as meeraj]==Prophet Mohammad’s ascent to heaven while he was on earth in body]
Our day takes light from them,
Our night is illuminated with them.
What we call ‘the new one’ is that. [the new one==ONEness of HEARTs]
From saying:
“If bird['s] flight is example,
If HIS human rises in air,”
We came to the new one.
On the days when we were Yunus,
When we stood [we were] on earth,
Flying like bird was dream.

I am Mevlana.
What is called as, “It is found,” is
Not the one who is [spiritually] immature,
But the one who knows soft path,
The one who says, “HAK opened my eye.”
Take
The mirror in your hand,
[take] The Beautiful One into your heart.

The one who stays without smoke
Does not say, “Pitiless.”
Iron is not scared of fire,
Fire is not frightened from wood.
Power belongs to the one who leans on [HIM].

Yogurt [is]: milk that turned sour.
The one who says, “I stayed as defeated,”
Is the perverse one of human.
Let us see the birth [birth==1. migration to after earth life; 2. to come to one’s senses]
Not on path
But in hal;
Let us read the page line by line.
When we set up the workbench,
Let us weave the fabric.
When “stage [phase]” is said,
When heart is put on the path, [when one falls in love on HIS path]
Let us avoid breaking heart.

The one who allays one’s hunger,
Let him/her know that he/she/it eats his/her/its fill.
The one who makes walk, [the one who guides]
Let him/her see what HE gives.

Paths come as soft
When hearts are one,
When one conforms to every hal.

Try to remember The Lofty One
As much as you know to breathe.

Be entrusted to my Allah.

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

15 December 1976

I am Mevlana.
You say, “Beautiful,” for the sea,
Why do you not see the beautiful in the glass?
You say, “Beautiful,” for the green,
Why do you not love the weed as much as the rose?
Let there be respect for the rose,
Let there be consideration for his congregation. [Prophet Mohammad’s congregation==all humans]

Blood [is] from water,
Skin [is] from water,
Life [is] from water.
O you, the faithful!
Wake up from the sleep!

Secret hands, secret tongues
Do not give us secret paths;
Beautiful hals do not conform to secrecy.

We said openly,
We gave openly:
We explained deep love with essence
So that
The one who matures [spiritually], comes,
[so that] The one who comes, knows,
[so that] The one who knows, loves.

We have been chatting for years,
We have been having heart-to-heart talk[s] with the one who said, “Trouble [/worry].”
Whom did you search in whom?
When you searched, what did you see?
You loved the one whom you longed for;
The one for which it was said, “Love,” [? THE One for Which it was said, “Love,” ?]
You walked and passed.
Let us say, “Eyvallah,”
Let us conform to hal
In the name of HAK.

The doer makes the act come into being;
The golder [the one who makes gold] improves your heart, [gold==spiritual meaning]
Makes your path be tied to our path.

Nightingale is not at mulberry, [similar to how you would not see the nightingale at mulberry tree]
[spiritually] Immature human is not in [our] congregation.
If one does not hear Darling,
If life does not conform,
He/she does not sit in congregation.
If he/she does not love,
If he/she does not know,
He/she does not join all [humans].
HE is such Darling that HIS interpretation is not done.
HE is The One Whom/That you know,
HE is The One Whom/That you see,
HE is The One Whom/That you love,
[HE is] The One with Whom your are together in each breath.
[Previous verses and some other sections in Part 24 may be better understood under the light of the following information: Allah created/creates the matter by transforming some of HIS LIGHT into matter. Every thing that is visible to human eye, including human body,  is HIS LIGHT in the form of matter, in other words, is HIM…]
You knew your love from me,
[however,] You took from HIM.
You found [HIM] through my path. [you found HIM because of [thanks to] my path.]
You got excited with flowing waters,
You ran with blowing winds.
You said, “Close Friend, Close Friend,”
You came together [with HIM].
You chatted saying, “Yunus, Mevlana.”

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

17 December 1976
(On commemoration day of Hazrat Mevlana – Shebi Arus)

I am Mevlana.
Hearts became full,
Worlds became one.
All of us became witness
To what the sun gives, [sun==Prophet Mohammad]
To what the universe displays. [universe==What Allah shows us in matter form…]
Let my Allah be pleased
With the one who matures [spiritually],
With the one who comes,
With the one who finds ONEness.

What is the one
That the sun gives,
That the universe displays?
Sun belongs to the one who sees, [vision==to see HIM in HIS creations]
Universe belongs to the one who knows.

The one who builds the wall
Is the one who knows that he/she builds.
The One Who makes [one] build
Is The One Who makes be divided.
Wall: your swaddle is measure.
Cover of the body [is] of course swaddle.
The measure of the one who sees:
[what is] Beyond the wall is known,
Heart eye is remembered like that.

Nothingness is the essence of The Being.
The Being is the eye of nothingness.
The one who sees, solves,
The one who hears, traces.

Pen in hand,
Word in tongue,
Soft path in hal.
We became word,
We came to tongue,
When we were [on earth in body],
We surrendered.
We were poured to water,
We came to word.
We became eye with all [humans],
We filled the hearts.

Migration is being said,
Notch is searched,
It is imagined that it is in one handspan of ground. [one thinks that when human dies, he/she stays in one handful of ground...]

The One Who is from earth, from sky is remembered,
Intention to fast is set up like that.

Our remembrance is not in our name:
WHAT is called Darling
Is The One That is seen, That is loved and loved
In each leaf, flower, bug.
We searched in leaf, in flower,
Did we find What we searched?
Did we love What we found?
In shape, HE is seen;
In hal, HE is praised;
On path, HE is loved.
Why is grief?

Is 'the shape that does not conform'
The one who does not hear his/her heart?

Do we pay back if we vow?
If we pay back, do we say, “Enough?” [Can we ever pay back The Creator for the universe, for all the beauties that HE created for us?]

Let selam [peace/greeting] be to all of you.

Let each human who says, “Darling,”
Let each path that is said about, “Difficult,”
Make all [humans] be reunited with his/her wish.

Say to the one who says
“We have no foot so that we come,
So that we stand as traveler on HIS path”:
The difficult one of the path
Is not the summit of human.

(Question: Does ‘summit’ mean the leader?)

Eyvallah. [affirmative]

There is no difficulty at summit
When one sets up the intention,
When one says,
“My Allah, I am with YOU.”

“We found universe from earth,
We saw worlds.
We respected each star that shined. [star==saint]
We took from the moon,
We found thanks to the sun,” [moon==Hazrat Ali; sun==Prophet Mohammad]
We said,
We considered the Milky Way. [we reached the Milky Way]
My word is to the one says,
“Does what is being said, befit us?”:
Earth’s hal kneads human:
If you do not say, “Ouch!”, ['ouch' in the sense of complaint]
If you do not try to tear the page,
If you do not complain
About the flow of the water,
About the look of the cloud,
Then you take your measure,
You find the Milky Way.

Him/her saying, “HIS stone, HIS soil
Belong to the one who is competent,"
Is of course his/her own fault.

The one whom you call as “close friend,”
Waits for your close friendship.

You wait from The Giver:
To whom do you add what you take? [to whom do you give what you take?]

“Mevlana came to word,
He reproaches all [humans],” you say.
If we reproached, reproach is of course our right.
“Why?” is being said.
Our heart wishes to come together with all [humans]
In Milky Way.
Standard of measure
Is in human him/herself,
It will be asked from him/herself.
It is true that the destiny is traced
From birth until death.
If you say, “My intention is equal to my pleading,”
Then you console yourself,
Then you break off the tie of the word
From your [? HIS ?] path.
[because] Pleading is as much as you can take.
When it is like that, your intention is HIS path:
Voila, human’s value standard is this.
Intention and wergeld should conform to one another.
One should plead
As much as to fill the heart,
As much as to become One with all [humans].
“To become One with all [humans],” was said about,
Was explained:
You,
If you can see me in me, in Ahmet, in Mehmet, [Ahmet, Mehmet are two common human names in Turkish]
If you can consider yourself as one [the same/equal]
With the rich, with the poor,
Then I say, “You are One with all [humans].”

My birth [is] today,
My [spiritual] maturation [is] today,
My return [is] today.
My coming to you and to all [humans],
My giving the pen to hand, [Hazrat Mevlana used to write the chats using the hand of Garib]
My effacement of the worry from heart…
Read line by line,
Call saying, “Darling, Darling.”

You remember saying, “Mevlana, Yunus,”
You knew [us] in pen, in paper.
We set our congregation up.
We gave the flatness. [we gave flat path]
We entered the word through heart.
Heart [is] in the universe,
Hand [is] in the pen,
The Beautiful One [is] in your tongue,
Deep love [is] in the value standard of all [humans].

I said, “Yunus,” I came to word.
I surrendered by word.
I congratulated your night.
You remembered,
You took from all [humans].
You gathered roses from the vineyard of heart.
You did not pay attention to the one who passed emptily. [you ignored the one whose heart gate was closed]
We effaced the one who passed,
We laughed at the one who came.
“At the night that is remembered, your birth is given,”
We said, we congratulated the one who is loved.
“Who is the one who is loved?” is being said.
Mevlana of course.

It is given before,
Its word comes from Mevlana.
“Shape is seen in flower-bug,
It is loved in hal,” is being said.
In Mevlana, you saw with shape,
In his hal, you turned to love,
On the [current] day, you are transformed into deep love;
The event is this!
Hal, path bring [one forward, toward HIM],
Deep love: it makes return.
There is no mistake: return is to HIM.
However, on return,
There is ‘undressing,’
There is ‘peeling off every event.’
Our being is from HIM,
From HIS Order [Command].
You put heart in our being, [you fell in love with our essence]
[then] Conform to our ONEness.

I am Mevlana.
We said, “Selam [peace/greeting]”
From earth to sky,
We greeted all [humans].
In selam we found salvation.
Be entrusted to my Allah,
Plead for the one who wishes for remedy.

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.
