ONEness of HEARTs
VOLUME 3
Part 67

26 January 1978

I am Mevlana.

(Question: Would you give a concrete example about ‘individual will’?)

[Answer:]
Human sets up intention to steal,
Starts the action.
If he/she steals, he/she is on display,
If he/she does not steal, he/she is in judgment.

(Question: In this example, where is the ‘individual will’?)

[Answer:]
In intention.

(Question: If he/she sets up the intention to steal, however, he/she does not attempt, is he/she [still a] thief?)

[Answer:]
Yes.
[however,]
If he/she takes shelter in my Allah and begs HIS pardon,
He/she is forgiven.

Compassion: the one that one appropriates. [the one that one claims the ownership of it]
Love: the one that spreads to the universe.

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

3 February 1978

I am Mevlana.
WHAT we take with peace,
WHAT we find in hearts,
That we see The Order [orderliness]
Is of course your path.
'To try to display'
Is of course ‘to take path to love.’
“Enter the flatness in each event,” we said,
We greeted all of you.

The ones who ask the time from the moment, [the ones who are impatient]
The ones who interpret each event according to their wish:
Let them not say,
“We waited, we did not find,
We searched, we did not see,” [vision==to see HIM in HIS creations]
She said, Meryem [Virgin Mary] took the word:

Well comes to water as narrow.
Each event comes to human as existent. [events seem to human as real]
‘Let us give,’ we said, we shared with all of you.
We crossed over the shadow,
We came together in the sun. [sun==Prophet Mohammad]
The one who conveys [his/her selam], is of course known,
Our selam is added to the selams that are sent. [selam=peace/greeting]
“Who is the one who conveys?” is said.
The one who takes the pen in her hand,
The one who transfers what she sees to you.

(Question: Is she Garib?)

Yes.
Let one not say, "Keramet, [keramet=1. miracle worked by God through a person. 2. the God-given power of working miracles.]
Let it be known that it is door to salvation.


Let us grab the subject:
Let us conform to every hal
Like in the example of
Not dormitory
But dervish lodge.
Let us hear three times,
Let us say once,
Let us roll up the book like that.
Let it go through three humans, three tongues,
Let what is scattered, be gathered.

Let every human be next to the one
Who conforms to the surrounding,
Who finds the circuit. [who becomes part of The Order/who conforms to events]
“What does it mean?” is said.
To conform to the one who knows
Is to learn what one does not know.
Chat is at different place,
‘Speaking ill’ is at different place.
Dervish lodge is at the chat [side],
To conform to [it] is [expected] from you,
She said,
Meryem [Virgin Mary] gave the word to my Yunus.

I took olive, I considered [it] as morsel,
I ate, I was full, Elhamdulillah [Praise to God].
I broke onion, I set up table,
I blended snow and grape molasses,
I ate, I was full, Elhamdulillah [Praise to God].
I saw the shah, I gave my heart,
In slave, displayed my lifetime,
I took his/her heart as equal to my heart,
Thank YOU, Elhamdulillah [Praise to God].
He said, my Yunus walked.

Skirt of mountain opens to the one who comes,
Honeycomb [opens] to the one who loves,
Like that, beauty is chosen.

Sun that is born [rising sun] waits for the one who will give, [sun==Prophet Mohammad]
Cultivated soil [waits] for the one who will plow.

In eyebrow and eye,
Look for the mountain and the plain;
Mountain is
Both the waiting one
And the adding one
Of the plain.

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

10 February 1978

I am Mevlana.
We gave our path to the bridge that will make pass,
We saw the real heart in all [humans].
Let each one who comes, take,
Let him/her know his/her selam. [let him/her know that we greet him/her]

If you take as witness
Where the water flows to, [if you take as witness the place to which the water flows] [water flows to the ocean] [ocean==God]
[if you take as witness] The One Whom the one who sees, looks at, [vision==to see HIM in HIS creations]
If you transfer The One That you find in yourself
To the one who wishes;
Then you turn to your Reality,
Then you conform to his/her [? your ?] hal.

(Question: We conform to whose hal?)

The hal of the one who knows The Reality
Is to know him/herself,
Is to see The One Who writes.

“I took human [? hand ?] to respect,
I gave word to be full [with deep love],
I gave heart to burn,” [I fell in deep love to burn in heart]
He said, my Yunus entered the word:
“You can not say, “Run!” to the one who runs away [already],
You can hit the young tree with ax.” [you can not ax the young tree]

“Let Meryem [Virgin Mary] be at the leading edge of the path,
Let her be in the dream of every human,”
She said, she came with selam [peace/greeting].

Am I satiated with one's [? ONE's ?] color?
Do I put heart in one's [? HIS ?] condition? [do I fall in love with one's [? HIS ?] condition?]
Do I turn with each one who calls? [do I turn toward everyone who calls]

“Most of them: [most of the humans:]
He/she watches the soil, [he/she takes care of the soil]
[he/she] Thinks that he/she feeds [the soil] with [his/her own] hand.
[however,] Taking-giving is thanks to The Lofty One,
Thanks to manyness that comes as constructive.

To the one who says, “I took fear,”
If we give as example the one who says,
“I found leaf,” [leaf==human] [leaves that are on the branches; branch==saint]
[? “I found page,” ?] [page of the destiny that Allah writes in every moment]
His/her fear erases.

Mevlana wraps himself in what Shams gives [gave].
HIS each human takes shelter in HAK’s secrets;
He/she searches green cover for his/her building
Like in the example of deer.

Why is vision, [vision==to see HIM in HIS creations]
Where is it from?
Let it not be thought that it is from the difficult ones.

Ask the pure one to the one who knows,
See the one who purifies his/her heart.

When love is seen in hal,
When display is seen on sand,
Judgment is of course erased.

What is the one that Shams gives [gave]?
Who is the one whom Mevlana sees [saw]?
All of them are
The same day,
The same direction,
She said, Meryem [Virgin Mary] gave the word to Toktay [Jesus Christ]:
"Let the world [? universe ?] be with you,
Let your heart stay in The Lofty One.
Let HIS each human stand up for duty.
Let one say,
'We matured [spiritually] in hal,
We came [to earth],
We took,
We loved [HIS creations],
Let us give,' [let us share The Meaning]
Let one enter the environment that was given before,"
He said, Toktay conformed to The Order [orderliness].


“Are you from the ones who give remedy?” they said,
They walked to my path.
It is because of the permission of my Allah,”
She said, Meryem greeted.

“I took spoon for soup,
I put supply in the bag,
I gave heart, I spread labor to all [humans],” [to give heart==to fall in love]
He said, Pir Sultan Abdal took the word:
“I could not consider as number. [==I did not count the matter / I did not fall in love with matter]
Hair [was] long, I did not comb.
I did not
‘Eat the beautiful one and give the rotten one to anybody.’ [I did not 'eat the good food while giving the bad food to others' / I did not save the good food for myself only]
I found tree, I sat [under it] comfortably,
I drank my [spiritual] water, I came to my senses.
I was one with the one who wished.
Let us mature [spiritually],
Let us know [The Meaning],
Let us give hand in hand,”
He said, he walked.

The one who comes,
The one who goes
Are from the ones who walk,
Are from the ones who love each creation.
Let my Allah be pleased with all of them.
Let the same hal become manifest in all of you.
When
“Remedy for trouble,”
Is said,
Let it be known that
My Allah is The One Who sees.

Be entrusted to my Allah.

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

28 February 1978

I am Mevlana.
On our soft path,
In our each hal that is washed [spiritually],
We considered ‘giving’ as appropriate.
To the ones who say,
“Let me mature [spiritually],”
We presented from HIS Essence.
We said word about belt,
We threw the belt to the tree.


We gave before:
Let us concentrate
Not on the fault that saddens
But on the one that crashes.
Let us forget the fault that saddens.

Wideness is in The Order [orderliness].
Each interpretation is in the one who perceives. [each interpretation of our chats is according to the spiritual maturity of each human...]
The Beauty is in The One Who writes.

If you ask the one who takes power from saddle:
“Is force from the saddle,
Or from the one that carries even the saddle?”

We will give the one who comes from where the sand is,
We will make known Garib, with White Camel.
Wait and see.

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

10 March 1978

I am Mevlana.
Our word, our Essence is in ONE.
Each book is in Light;
Yet
It starts in one,
HE makes it end in Koran.
Let the interpretation not be from the ones that separate. [when you talk about religious books, do not allow your interpretation to cause discrimination among humans...]
Each creation knows what he/she reads.
If he/she finds the one that ends, [the one that ends==old/past religious books]
It is made known to him/her that there is criticism.
“What is criticism?” is said.
Which one gives the book from start to end?
Psalter grafted,
Torah gathered,
Bible scattered,
Koran brought all of them to One,
Gathered the universe in one book only.
With its specialty, with its beauty,
It became the one that is not changed;
It made known HIS direction
To HIS humans who were in every direction.
If it is like that,
Is it not necessary for HIS each human
To reach Its Whole?
Not to separation, not to difference,
We gave before:
When
“Each one who is born, is born as Muslim,” is said,
What is being said, is that:
Each one who is born
Is born according to what is given in Koran.
Each one who lives
Appropriates what is written in Koran.
[difference in belief among humans may be explained with an analogy about a water mill:]
Water mill rotates according to the power of the water that flows.
‘A little’ as well as ‘a lot’
Give, as outcome, the necessary service.
Yet one of them matures [spiritually] earlier,
The other one matures [spiritually] later.
Event is this.

“Help,” is said.
To the society
That is in the name of HAK, [AND]
That respects every right, [AND]
That serves not itself but the community,
My Lofty Allah sends helper;
Let one never doubt [that].
[between the prerequisites above, we think that there is 'AND' in the sense of Boolean logic, i.e. when all three conditions are satisfied, then help is sent...]

What you search in iron
Is not found in gold, [gold==spiritual meaning]
What you observe in gold,
Is not seen in diamond.
Yet the value of each one of them is
In the work that it does,
In the power that it gives.

Each event that is tried
Becomes mirror to [for] the one who comes.
HIS human sees his/her own direction on that path.

Each [religious] book that came is of course valid
As much as the border that it gives.
The fact
That the one that is borderless, is given until doomsday,
That even beyond doomsday is written
Is in our view. [we know that fact]

Nevertheless, let it not be thought
That human is in race of love.
Only love is not measured; [love is the only thing that can not be measured]
“I am more loaded with love [than you are],”
Is not said.
Let us love,
Let us rejoice for the one who loves.

If our word is tied to beyond the sea,
If one stops on each hillside,
[our word,] It does of course not end.
If you ask,
No measure is enough
For the deep love of Meryem [Virgin Mary].
Meryem took the word,
She concentrated in pleading
For each close friend who came/comes to the chat.

Guest is on our side,
Us, we are on the side of love.
[similar to the relationship between]
Leaf, tree,
We are one structure with each one who/that lives.
We see the one who passes through stone[s]. [we see the one who has stones on his/her path]
On each branch, we read the new one.
The place at which there is satiety,
We say, “Selam [peace/greeting],”
We bow before his/her love, with respect.
[end of Hazrat Meryem’s chat]

“In the science of earth-sky,
Detail is in vision,” [? Difference is in vision,” ?] [vision==to see HIM in HIS creations]
He said, Toktay [Jesus Christ] entered the word:
In the rope that you stretch,
You take the word.
In the [mirror] reflection that you give, [when you look in the mirror]
You find yourself.
Therefore, earth-sky are equal to one another,
[only] Its image is of variety. [only its image varies]
If you tie the knowledge, the vision [to one another], [knowledge==The Meaning/the knowledge of The Reality; vision==to see HIM in HIS creations]
If you erase the judgment,
[then] You reach the finding.

The soil that you rake, gives you;
If you do not rake, does it stay as dry?
The creation
That wraps itself in green color,
That appears with that delight…
What is known
Is to you,
Is to me,
Is to him/her
And it is to the ring that is added to one another,
He said, Toktay distributed his love to all of you.

I am Mevlana.
With Life, with Darling
We found body,
We saw the creation,
We loved The Creator.
Let selam [peace/greeting] be,
Let him/her find ONEness in love.
Let all of you conform to the one that is tried.

(Question: What is meant by ‘the one that is tried’?)

My Yunus took the word:
The one that is tried
Is the hal
Of the one who knows The Whole, who gives What he/she knows;
It is the path of Darling; [it is the path that leads to Darling]
All of them are humans of HAK,
He said, my Yunus walked.

Each event that is explained in detail,
Is approved without any need of conformation.
When  it is like that,
Even when it is said, “Interpretation is not valid,”
HIS each human plants the flower that he/she wishes
According to the garden that is in his/her heart.
When his/her [? its ?] day comes,
He/she never falls in doubt about what he/she planted.

Be entrusted to my Allah.

(Question: What is meant by ‘flower’?)

Each one who knows his/her place,
Is he/she at the place that he/she knows?
Of course he/she can not know;
He/she only comes to measure [he/she only guesses his/her measure]
According to his/her heart.
The day on which he/she comes to his/her senses,
He/she finds him/herself suitable for judgment and wrapping. [wrapping == understanding / digesting The Meaning]

Each human thinks of course
About both his positive and negative hal
On the day when he/she turns to heart accountancy.
He/she rejoices for his/her positive hal,
He/she regrets his/her negative hal.
In your each accountancy,
Regret your negative hal lesser.
“What does it mean?” is said.
It means:
Let your negative hal be lesser.

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.
