ONEness of HEARTs
VOLUME 3
Part 31

22 March 1977

I am Mevlana.
We said, “Ya Allah,” [ya Allah==thank YOU for my God-given share, I accept without any complaint]
We entered the word with HIS Name. [we started the chat with HIS Name]
We knew through The Essence,
We saw thanks to word. [vision==to see HIM in HIS creations] [we perceived The Meaning thanks to chats]
“Our path-our hal [are] for all [humans],” we said.

“It is good deed,” is being said.
Eyvallah. [affirmative]
The one who comes [is] Close Friend,
The one who laughs [is] Close Friend,
We set up ‘post’ for all [humans]. [post==congregation to unite in ONE]
Let each one who wishes come,
Let him/her take his/her God-given share.
Let my Allah be pleased with the one who comes-with the one who gives,
Let him/her know that his/her each step is good deed.

“It will come from the path,” we said,
We gave before.
The day about which it was said,
"Knots are untied,
The one of which the day comes, is seen,"
[that day] Came.
I saw the mirror,
I knew the face,
“How beautiful!” I said.


Waters flow to where?
Lakes look at the creek.
Let us glance at the ocean, [ocean==God; flowing water flows to the ocean; flowing water==teachings of ONEness of HEARTs]
Let us pass the flowing water.
If we say,
“Path is ours,
Traveler is ours,
Caravansary is ours,
Boniface is ours,”
[then] We say word to all [humans],
We embrace [them] with word.

We gave the mirror to your hand,
“Life is in you,
Darling is in you,” we said.
We caressed your back saying,
"Show our path with hal."


Your power is taker [receiver],
Blessing is to fall [upon you] abundantly.

Cause is not in lineage
But in hal.
Waters flow according to HIS path,
Let one not think that they are in torrent.

What you wish for is the place that is Kaaba;
What is called as ‘Kaaba’ is in heart.
“Life is in you,
Darling is in you,” we said,
We erased your suffering in moment,
We found the hand in hand.
“Ya Allah,” we said,
We became one with all [humans],
We were remembered-we were loved.
We were said about, “He became pir.”
Let us say, “Eyvallah,”
Let us tie human to heart,
[let us tie] Our heart to our hal.

The one who is not brave does not take God-given share,
Does not find the soft path.

Let my Allah be pleased with the one
Who gives-who does not give
Heart to our chat. [to give heart==to fall in love]

Ayran is known in churn. [ayran=airan, a drink made of yogurt and water]
Wheat is spread onto ground.
Path is asked from the one who is pir:
One is wrapped with HIS deep love,
One arrives with HIS deep love.
Manyness brings to ONEness.
ONEness brings path to HAK,
The one who finds the path, brings [other humans].

My Yunus says:
If you respect the leaf,
If you undress the corn,
Who finds in calculation?
Whether you respect or not,
[even] If you do not put leaf onto corn,
Even if you check thoroughly the tree,
You can not find the one that is disorderly,
You can not enter its calculation. [you can not find anything that is disorderly / if you try to understand, you can not understand how such a magnificent order is created.]
For that [reason],
Let us leave the leaf on its branch,
[let us leave] The ocean in its hal. [? The ocean in Its Hal. ?]

Be entrusted to my Allah,
Know that hand is in hand.
I came with my name,
I gave my hand.
Let my Allah be pleased
With the one who knows-who sees,
Who remembers my name in every moment.

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

25 March 1977

I am Mevlana.
In green color,
We saw [spiritual] maturation.
We wished for salvation for all [humans].
“Let him/her be from the ones who love,” we said.

To the one who says,
“What will I take
From the coming of the [spiritual] water,
From its giving HIS path”: [what would be my benefit from HIS path that the spiritual water gives/explains]
“It is: you [will] know your place [in after earth life],” I say.
Be entrusted to my Allah.
Stay at the abundant place of the tree.
We said before:
Give hand in hand
Like in the example of tree.
Manyness of the tree
Brings the abundance of blessing.

Our place is known:
It is in hearts.
Our path is known:
It is on shores.
We came from water,
We will return to water.
Whether we are snow or ice,
We will melt.
Like in the example of deer,
We will be example of love.
Like in the example of bee,
We will give honey.
We will not ask from the witness,
We will not say, “Its proof?”
The One Who sees, The One Who knows
Has nothing to ask the witness.

We gave,
We said about the one who took from the duty.
Yet the solution of
The one that is written and the one that will come
Stayed for the day.
We said before,
We gave the ninth:
He [? She ?] is
Not the one whom you will laugh at
But the one whom you will love.
There is no mistake.
You will say,
“Is he [? she ?] crazy or wise?”
You will love [him [? her ?]] more than you will laugh.
Let your day be good deed.
There is no one [? One ?] who [? Who ?] separates, favors in duty.
It will be given until the day that comes.


My Yunus says,
“My word is equal to my saz, [saz=a stringed instrument (which somewhat resembles a lute)] [my word and my saz are in harmony]
My saz is in harmony with my heart.
There is place for curve [wrong]
Neither in its body nor in its string.
In my heart, there is only place for God.”

If I say
To the one who knows what God gives:
The one who/that is created.
[if I say]
To the one who loves his/her place:
Is it what you take from chat to chat?
There is no mistake:
The Creator is loved with the one whom/that HE created.
The Creator is loved because HE created,
Not because HE gave your place.
There is place of HIS each human.
Let one not say,
“The place of some [of them] is narrow.”
Neither did I stay in narrow
Nor was I scared saying, “I [may] stay [in narrow].”
The one who sees his/her place as [being] in narrow,
Let him/her open his/her heart door to the universe;
At that time, he/she will see the wideness.

(Question: Will the eleventh one on duty, prune the grapevine or collect the grape?)

We gave during the chat.
He/she will keep the wine in the cellar as secret,
He/she will check on each bottle.
If you go to the repetition of the chat, [if you study the [old] chat[s] again]
You solve what is given,
You divide the duty.

It is asked: “The ones who are on duty after the eleventh one?”
When the determined day comes,
It will be given not one by one
But as a whole.
When division of duty is completed, [when assignment of all duties is complete]
Every knot will be untied.
You will see the wideness openly at that time.

Let your pleading be abundant,
Let our ship find all the ones who are on duty
On HIS earth;
As such, let one be ready to walk [to move forward].

Say, “Thank YOU, my Allah.”
Renew your thanking in every moment.
You are on the ship of the one who takes from [spiritual] washer,
Who conforms to the surrounding.
[there is] Neither passenger nor stowaway:
Directly [there is only] the duty-given brave ones of the ship.

“During his chat, our grandpa compliments us,” is said. [grandpa==Hazrat Mevlana]
Never.
Do not be mistaken:
We come to chat
Neither to compliment
Nor to have [a] nice time.
We crossed mountains, stones,
We passed demolished walls, [we passed the walls that are demolished]
We sifted all the sands that are on our path,
We brought you to today.
Of course,
The ones who come are you,
Light [is] from us.
However,
The ones who wish for the light
Are you, too.
Intensive work is after this.
Until the [current] day, you learned.
After the [current] day, you will give what you learned,
You will enter intensive work. [you will work intensively]
There is no mistake:
It is never [an] order. [we don't order you to work hard]
Hal of earth makes human [spiritually] mature.

Think of children:
They first go to school,
They learn,
Then they start to work.
First stage[s],
Then degree.
We will know to work,
We will give what we learn.
While we give, we take,
While we take, we will [spiritually] mature.
We became like in the example of forest.
When HIS blessing [rain] comes, we will spread.
At that time,
Blowing wind, flowing torrent will give us
No harm
But benefit.
Because it [they] will spread us around even more.
Torrent does not carry the tree that has root,
Wind does not lay flat the tree that is strong.
Page by page, we came to today,
Line by line, we were read,
We were weaved like in the example of fabric.
Some said, “It becomes dress,”
Some [others] threw [away] saying, “Worthless fabric.”
Let my Allah be pleased with all of them.

My Yunus wishes for the word.
When he says word, his essence laughs.
We searched in effort,
We found in chat,
We fell in HIS deep love together with all [humans].
We acted coyly,
We took the path,
We had heart-to-heart talk with each one who wished.
Let my Allah be pleased with all of you.
Let all hearts celebrate your coming to the day.

The place where there is 'giving,'
Becomes Lighted with HIS LIGHT,
HIS each human gets share from the same Light.
Until the [current] day we gave to you,
After the [current] day,
We will give with you.

Be entrusted to my Allah.
Perceive the value of the one that is entrusted [to you].
Before the one that is entrusted, is given
There is no duty.
Physician is doctor
Only on the day when he/she gets his/her diploma;
His/her duty starts on that day.
Similarly, your duty starts today.
The duty is holy;
Let one not take [it] easy.
The one who assumes the duty,
Let him/her not become haughty.

Be entrusted to my Allah.
Each one who joins [our congregation], has duty, know.
It will be given,
When determined day comes, it will be said.
Yes, soon…

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

1 April 1977

I am Mevlana.
We said before:
When it comes from the sun,
One does not give from the moon. [sun==Prophet Mohammad; moon==Hazrat Ali]

HIS human is not criticized saying, “Beautiful, ugly.”

At the place of the smoke, [when there is smoke]
Chimney is not covered.

Let us wait, let us ask,
Let us interpret what is given, like that.

The one that is traced
Comes from the moon,
It is interpreted as crescent,
One arrives at the one that will come, like that.
It is neither in nacre nor in basket,
It is only in thinking.
“Is it not beautiful?” is being said.
The measure of the beauty is in your heart.
Open your heart,
Pass the one that you think. [interpret while your heart is open]
Your deep love brings,
Makes your heart [spiritually] mature,
Makes the one that is asked, be interpreted.
It is the one that is thought,
Yet not the one that is given.

Quickness does not become door to [for] the [divine] building. [chats are drunk sip by sip, do not try to rush]
Path does not drive the chariot.
For the chariot, horse is necessary first.
The one who says, “Let me mature [spiritually],”
To the one who wishes to mature [spiritually]:
First ‘knowing’ is necessary,
Then science.
You can not become [spiritually] mature before knowing [The Meaning],
You can not see before becoming [spiritually] mature, [vision==to see HIM in HIS creations]
You can not give before seeing.

The Reality is to know The One That is next to you.
“When you know,
When you conform to What you know,
It is your birth,” I say. [birth==to come to one’s senses]
What you trace,
Shows the moment in which you will be born.

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.
