BEYOND SUFISM

ONEness of HEARTs
VOLUME 3
Part 7

21 May 1976

I am Mevlana.
You thought that the beautiful one resembled dry leaf.
You gave the interpretation
Not to the one that conforms to hearts [you interpreted not according to your heart]
But to the one who made [it] resemble circulation… [circulation: dry leaf falls to ground, mixes with the soil, is absorbed by the root of tree, becomes leaf again, cycle/circulation continues...]

(Question: Would you tell us about the four and the five mentioned in previous chats?)

Let selam be to all of you. [selam=1. greeting, 2. peace]
Let the one who comes, take,
Let the one who takes, love.
Let my Allah make him/her set intention up
For the one that conforms to The Reality.

Do we say what four is?
Do we consider the tree from the root? [let us start from the root]
Four’s interpretation is equivalent to
Universe’s situation.
The one who says, “I knew,” is the one who loves.
The one who says, “I saw,” is the one who conforms.
The one who says, “I heard,” is the one who searches.
The one who says, “I matured [spiritually],”
Is the one who finds the four in him/herself.
The one who finds the four in him/herself
Is of course the one who searches the five.
Five is the one that is searched when one matures [spiritually] like that.
“What is being searched?” is said.
What is being searched:
Four of the universe,
Immortality that the four brings into being.

My [spiritual] maturation equals to what?
To go beyond four, to reach five.
“What is the one that five gives, that one does not know?” is said.
The one that does not know is not five but four.
He/she thinks that what he/she knows, is thanks to him/herself;
He/she is unaware that he/she takes from five.
If we knew to come to our senses,
If we learned to hear,
[then] “Five is our place,” we say.
When I say, “Hear, see, conform!” is that one.

The One Who shows, makes one find the new one. [the new one==ONEness of HEARTs]
“What is in the new one?” is said.
Eyvallah.
The new one: The tree that we planted,
It makes one [spiritually] mature.
Is there not support even of the one who is drunkard?
Does he/she not lean his/her head on [a] tree?

“Let the one that we do not take, be open, [let what we do not understand, be explained]
How does one pass through the one that is not open?” you say.
When hand is in hand,
[when] Rose [is] on branch,
[when] Chat [is] with us,
Would there be any way that it does not open?

(Question: four: is it four hals?)
Do you not see [that] even the events [are] like that?
Morning, noon, evening, night.
Summer, winter, spring, autumn.
Did I not I say, “Take example from the universe!”?

Each existing one has four hals.
At the place where four hals end, it is seen that one reaches five.
Life-Darling come together like that.

What the rose gave,
What the rose showed with his four hals:
[it is] Where he reached from lifetime until migration [to after earth life].
It is known
That even after migration he embraced the universe.
Roof is found there.
The one who is said to, "Intercession," is him.

What you call,
“I fasted,
I worshipped by prostrating,
I gave zekat, [zekat=in Islam, one fortieth of one's income distributed as alms.]
I touched Kaaba with my face,” [Kaaba=the sacred Muslim shrine at Mecca, toward which believers turn when praying: it contains a black stone venerated as holy ]
Is
That you are [spiritually] mature with one's four hals.
What you are complete with five
Is what you know.
Did you appropriate his [Prophet Mohammad's] hal that you do not know?  
Path is the pleading of each human,
However, hal is important.

“Is Celal HAK?” is said. [Celal=1. majestic, 2. anger] [Celal and Cemal are two of 99 attributes of Allah stated in Koran]
Is Celal not attribute?
Cemal is the attribute of the one who is in hal,
Who passed Celal. [cemal=beauty of face] [hal==to find oneself in water, air, sand, soil, tree, leaf…]
[when one is in 'hal', i.e. when one finds oneself in water, air, sand, soil, tree, leaf, etc. then]
The beautiful one [? The Beautiful One ?] is so beautiful even if it is dry leaf.
The beautiful one [? The Beautiful One ?] is so beautiful even if it falls on ground.
If it [? he/she ?] falls, it [? he/she ?] is from me;
If he/she migrates [to after earth life], [he/she goes] to HIM.
Yes, from HIM to HIM.
When you say,
“I came from HIM,
I knew that I came [from HIM],
I will return to HIM,”
Then you conform to four hals,
Then you turn to five.

“Is it not caliph?” is said.
Did caliph not appropriate the [Prophet Mohammad's] hal?
I gave [before]:
There are four hals of every creation.
Yet
Some of the wall[‘s hal] show the palace,
Some [of the wall’s hal show] the hut.
Each human’s hal is the form that he/she appropriates.
Let it not be forgotten:
Roof of all of them is covered.

Interpretation found its place. [interpretation has been appropriate]
However, one stops in the middle of the page again; [one is still stuck in the middle of the page / one still does not understand]
One tries to mix unripe grape with ‘helva.’ [helva=a sweet prepared with sesame oil, various cereals, and syrup or honey] [helva is ready to be eaten; if one tries to mix it with unripe grape, this is analogue to making things that are easy, more difficult...]
The one who is in spare
Thinks that he/she searches the surrounding according to his/her heart.
However, it is known that the one that is essential
Gives hand to the one who is in spare.
“What is spare?” is said.
The one who takes hand,
The one who conveys what he/she takes.
The spare one does of course not know his/her place.
Is there any one who knows?

At the place where there is [spiritual] water,
One does not see any one who does not conform.

In the interpretation [of our teachings]
That you can not solve,
Take examples from the universe,
Try to reach the solution like that.

What is courage?
Fearlessness of course;
[however,] Behind courage, there is trust in The Lofty One.

Be entrusted to my Allah.
In interpretation,
First take the matter as example,
Then put [it] together with The Meaning.

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

26 May 1976

I am Mevlana.
We do not separate the new one - the old one. [the new one==ONEness of HEARTs; the old one==old spiritual beliefs]
‘New – old’ human view:
Let you know that your destiny is woven by HAK.
We do not enter the detail, [we do not go into detail]
We do not divide human in direction.
Let selam be to all of you. [selam=1. greeting, 2. peace]

Let the one who comes
Find relief from The One That is in his/her heart.
Let him/her say, “The war [with ego] is enough!”
Let him/her consider him/herself as from Essence.
Let him/her pray saying,
“I came to find [HIM], to assume my duty.”
Let him/her take from the place where the [spiritual] water flows.
Let him/her take selam [=greeting/peace] to the one whom he/she wishes.
Let him/her distribute three breads to three poors;
Let him/her say,
“Let Somuncu’s breath come to me.” [Somuncu=Nick name of Hamid Hamiduddin, a Sufi saint who lived in the 14^th century. Word meaning of ‘somuncu’ is ‘bread maker’; Somuncu used to  make breads and distribute them to poor people…]
Let him/her erase the worry.
Let “Ayetel Kursi” be his/her pleading, [Ayetel Kursi=255^th verse in the Bakarah sura [2^nd sura] of Koran]
Let one not let “Kelime-i Tevhid” go away from his/her tongue. [Kelime-i Tevhid=the name given to the following: Lailaheillallah Muhammedur Resulullah. [Allah is The only One to be worshiped, and Mohammad is HIS Representative.]]

Let one not say,
“I see mud in water,
How do I give heart to mud?” [how do I fall in love with mud?]
If water does not educate the mud,
If mill does not grind the wheat,
You can not get flour,
You can not knead dough.
Each existing one takes form according to its/his/her inclination:
Soil becomes mud,
Flour becomes dough
When they take the water.
“Am I mud, [or] am I dough?” is said.
Neither be sad for mud
Nor brag about dough.
Mud is at its place as well as the dough.
If there is no mud, then there is no dough.

Somuncu says,
“Let him/her go, let him/her search,
Let him/her know that what he/she searches, is in his/her hand,
Let him/her find in his/her hand.”

My Yunus says,
“There is unforgettable custom of unexpected region.
When ‘hard [is] to [hit] hard’ is said,
The one that is ground is expected to be soft.
‘Is the grinding of the feeling necessary?’ you say.
Feeling is the 'measure of love' of the one that exists.
The one who loves does not criticize,
The one who loves does not beat;
He/she educates with love,
He/she grinds with love.
What we take,
What we know,
Our [spiritual] maturation
Are in this direction.”

Sahib Dugan says:
If inside separates from inside,
If inside gets free of outside,
[then] The essence hears his/her Being.
Does it ever happen that frosted water is not loved?
We said, “To the new one,” [the new one==ONEness of HEARTs; the old one==old spiritual beliefs]
We added to the old one:
On earth, we learned to open the inside from outside.
"How is one's inside separated from the outside?
When it is separated, how is it opened?" is being said.
If you do not burn for the one that does not exist, [if you do not long for the matter / if you do not fall in love with the matter]
If you are not fooled by the one who does not hear,
Then you are opened from outside to inside,
[then] You find your place from inside to outside.

Is 'meyhane' the little palace of the drunkard, [meyhane=bar/restaurant like public place in 14^th century where wine was served]
Is ‘neyhane’ the little palace of the vagabond, [neyhane=public place in 14^th century where ney, a musical instrument resembling to flute, was played…]
[or] Is it the practice of the one who searches?
Palaces are not ours but yours;
Kaabas are all's and ours. [Kaabas belong to all [humans] and to us] [Kaaba==heart]

The one that is inappropriate
Is the one that does not conform to you.
Let you open your vision,
Let you say no word
About the one that is rarely cooked,
About the one that is boiled a lot.
The place of the one who is [spiritually] mature:
Because of the soft path.
He/she knows word. [he/she knows not break heart with his/her words]

Do not say, “[he/she is] Turned-away [from HIS path],” [because]
Day comes, he/she finds HIS path.

Do you wear the top boot?
Do you spread the one that is consulted about
To the world?
You wished for the writing:
When you find [it] in your hand,
Do you conform to each one that is given?

Nothingness is the judgment of the majority.
Manyness is the worry of the one who says, “I burned [in heart].”
Let us hold hand in hand,
Let us erase all worries.

He/she says, “Who is my helper?”
From the word that I wrote,
Even though he/she takes my place through heart,
Even though he/she says, “My torch stayed there,”
I did not leave his/her hand.

I said [about] the new one.
Do not say [about] the new one, “It does not make mature [spiritually].”
It is the one that opens path to return.

He is the one who shares his place with all: Sahib Dugan.

Be entrusted to my Allah.

-Picture is received-

They said, “Sahib Dugan,”
They washed heart in Damascus,
They gave the hand to hand. [they held hand in hand]

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

LOVE, SEE & SHARE:

Love all HIS creations;
See HIM in all of HIS creations;
Share HIS Meaning.
