4 June 1976
I am Mevlana.
If you say,
"Where does the traveler of the soft path look for the beauty?”
[he/she looks for]
In The One That he/she sees,
In The One That he/she hears,
In The One That he/she takes,
In The One That he/she [? HE ?] gives.
Let selam [greeting/peace] be to all of you.
How does one mature [spiritually]?
How does one find?
One does not search on the ground,
One does not comb the road.
The Reality is at the place where he/she matures [spiritually],
As much as he/she matures [spiritually].
Say to the one who says,
“The stone that does not move, does not come to head”:
How about if head comes to stone?
[spiritual] Immaturity occurs not in the one that hits
But in the one who says, “I don’t hit [my head].”
Where does the endeavor become true?
When order is set up.
“How is the order set up?” is said.
You do not like the fruit of the tree,
You graft.
Your order is that.
The flower that is not open is called bud,
It is loved like that too.
However, it is waited to open.
The interpretation of our words is like that too.
Do not pull apart the one that you can not open,
Wait.
Eventually it opens.
For the creek that does not flow, [for the creek where no water flows]
“Drought came,” is said.
[on the other hand,] It is not seen that waterfall stops.
The direction of the places
At which it arrives,
[the places] Which it embraces,
Is beautiful too. [flowing waters flow to ocean; the places along the flowing water are fertile, beautiful…] [ocean==God]
The brave one
Knows his place,
Takes [the direction of] HIS path from his path-fellow.
We said ‘the brave one’ we gave with his name;
Neither does he look beyond the mountain
Nor does he get out of interpretation and break human’s heart.
Let us say, “Eyvallah,”
Let us give his name as Yesevi
Who claimed the ownership
From hand
From tongue
From heart.
Branch does not break branch,
Path does not abandon the human.
I took, I gave,
I said, “The Owner,”
I entrusted to HIM.
Yesevi is my name.
I said, “Allah,”
I remembered all [humans].
I alighted on each tree like in the example of bird.
My Mevla, [Mevla=Allah]
Earth is Yours,
Human is Yours,
Universe is Yours.
YOU are The One
WHO gave/gives our name,
WHO sees our Essence,
WHO knows the one who sees,
WHO weaves the one who does not see,
WHO sends the one who weaves in place of the one who is woven.
“YOU are The One Who weaves,” we said.
If you say, “Who is the one who weaves whom HE sends?”
The one who finds his/her Essence,
The one who erases his/her name.
“Hand in hand,” we said,
We held all [humans] by hand.
“Selam [greeting/peace],” we said,
We brought heartful of love-selam from four directions.
Home, [home’s] corner, arms
Belong to the one who opens [them].
Home is opened, [meal is shared]
[home’s] Corner is opened, [guest is welcomed]
Arms are opened:
Love is spread like that.
Narrowness is in the one who did/does not find him/herself.
Let us be [like a] ripe fruit,
Let us come to the hand of the one who wishes.
The home that we did/do not open, [its chimney] does not smoke;
The corner [of our house] that we did/do not open, is not sufficient;
Arms that we did/do not open, do not push the shadow.
Let us say that the path is convenient,
Let us give the word to my Yunus.
With horse, with weed, [while traveling/promenading]
We burned heart with fire.
We did not say, “Let us come – let us not come.”
We were remembered,
We gave,
We embraced,
We loved.
To the one who says,
“I became four,
[however,] I could not roll up what I took.
I stretched the rope,
[however,] I could not hang [anything from it].”
You roll up,
You hang [anything from it]
If you erase [the] doubt [that is] in heart.
We said, “Four,”
We gave path.
“Walk on HIS path,” we said.
Let the walking be to the target;
Let one not say,
“[to the] Right or left?”
What is given is the one that is traced,
What is traced is the one that is solved.
Our place,
Our direction
Are given.
Let him/her conform to what he/she takes,
Let him/her see the grapevine in his/her [? HIS ?] vineyard.
The one who says,
“I conformed to return,”
Let him/her know his/her heart as bright.
Intense effort makes one be tired out;
Do not think that it cooks the earthenware pot.
At the place where there is sun,
No smoke stays.
Why?
[because] There is no need for fire. [sun==Prophet Mohammad]
We took the new one. [the new one==ONEness of HEARTs]
My word is for the one who says,
“The new one is opened again”:
Renewal is among the secrets of the universe.
When it is given to question, [when one questions about a secret]
Behind each door of secret that is opened,
A new door is seen.
Each one that is opened
Is new;
The one that is passed
[is] Old.
Is there anyone who says, “Stop!”?
Is there anyone who thinks of stopping?
Diamond takes its value after it gets out of earth.
While it is in earth, it is considered as stone only.
If you say, “What is ‘blessing’?”
“It is value,” I say.
[for example, consider wood:]
When it takes the chiseling,
When it comes to hand, [when it is worked with hands, when it is chiseled]
It decorates its place.
If you say,
“We sifted, do we throw [away the residue]?
Do we hang the sieve [on the wall]? [do we not use the sieve any more?]
“Eyvallah [affirmative],” I say.
We took selam [greeting/peace] from the life, [we took selam from human [who is on earth]]
We carried selam. [we conveyed his/her selam]
Let our word be rolled up,
Let it be conveyed to life.
To the one who says, “I am four,”
We [already] conveyed:
Stove will burn with wood,
Our [spiritual] water will be presented [sip] by sip.
Let one not enter scattered [disrupt] order;
Nevertheless, let one never break heart.
Like in the example of ripe fruit,
Let one take from heart,
Let one flow to heart.
Be entrusted to my Allah.
Goodbye.
Lailaheillallah Muhammedur Resulullah. [Allah is The only One to be worshiped, and Mohammad is HIS Representative.]
16 June 1976
I am Mevlana.
We gave the mirror to hand,
“Take so that you see yourself,” we said.
We turned the page,
“He/she is from the ones who see,” we said,
We explained ‘the wideness.’
Let one not say, “Where is the one who sees The Reality?”
Each human sees according to his/her angle. [according to how narrow or wide is one’s angle]
[spiritual] Immaturity is in the one who does not search.
[otherwise] There is no 'one who searches and who can not find.’ [everyone who searches, finds]
Grass’ being is because of its color,
Flower’s being is because of its equivalent.
If you say, “What is its equivalent?”
Vine twines,
Rose is gathered.
Green color is said to be the wish.
The equivalent of green is the harmony of the angels.
For that [reason], it gives peace.
Human’s heart eye takes from color.
In blue, it sees volatility. [volatility==getting spiritually lighter [less heavy], and rising]
Let us say that the path is convenient,
Let us greet all [humans].
One finds not thanks to era,
But thanks to many,
One returns to ‘The Only One.’
“Is there manyness everywhere?” is being said.
One asks [about] “how the shepherd finds.”
Manyness is human’s heart battle.
The Only Oneness is microchip of body.
At the place where there is sun, [sun==Prophet Mohammad]
At the place where one finds the order,
Word is soil’s,
Eye is leaf’s. [tree==congregation of Mevlana; leaf==human; soil==may mean either God or Prophet Mohammad according to context]
Taking is from root,
Giving is from fruit.
“What is the equivalent of the birth?” is said. [birth==1. coming of the human spirit to earth in body, 2. human coming to his/her senses, i.e. perceiving The Reality while he/she is still on earth in body. 3. Migration to after earth life.]
Birth is 'turning to manyness,' [birth is being born on earth]
[birth] Is 'finding while turning.' [birth is finding [The Reality] while on earth]
Can you open the night [can you solve the mystery of the sleep]
Even if your mind power is so superior?
Do not think that public order comes from you. [do not think that you provide the public order]
After finding the order,
After staying without smoke,
Maturation [? Evolution ?] makes verdict be given to body's structure,
Not to its [heart's] door.
[spiritual] Maturity is “knowing in accordance with HIS science."
Where does science come from,
Where does one find [it],
Where does it [? one ?] stay? [where does the science become insufficient/incapable?]
When you take the mirror in your hand,
Do you say, “I saw in science”?
Science
Makes human find,
Makes human mature [spiritually],
Takes [him/her] to birth.
Birth is
'Finding oneself,
[finding] One’s own essence.'
When essence is said,
[then] There is no place for [any] word.
Earth is in word,
Earth is in eye.
Earth is not in us, but in you.
We [are] in essence,
You [are] in word.
Yet
Word takes [one] to the essence.
When we say, “We came from HIM,”
Then do we not exist together with HIS Being?
HE is The Creator,
HE is The One Who makes known that HE created,
HE is The One Who makes HIMSELF be found.
When one matures [spiritually] like that,
When one comes to the essence,
What [else] do you want to know?
Say, “YOU exist, let me become whole in Your Being.”
Say, “Let me find myself as much as I know that YOU exist.”
If they say,
“He is bouncer, he spread reputation onto sea [his reputation spread around],”
Then they say his name.
If they say,
“He/she came, he/she conformed, he/she found,”
Then they know one's essence.
Nevertheless, the fact of the matter is that
Each human should know his/her own essence him/herself.
When he/she matures [spiritually] like that,
He/she acquires [a] new form with “hal.” [hal==to find oneself in water, air, sand, soil, tree, leaf…]
To leave earth to earth
Is to know that events progress according to HIS Will.
When one matures [spiritually] like that,
'To turn to oneself' is to conform to the writing.
The old one [the old one==old spiritual beliefs; the new one==ONEness of HEARTs]
Is the one that is erased yet not seen.
The new one
Is the one that is read yet not being solved.
If you say, “How do we solve?”
By leaving earth to earth.
Do not say,
“If it is like that, we can not mature [spiritually],
We can not find the key.”
We said:
The one who searches, finds.
How is the one that can not be found, given?
[only] Behind the hill that is crossed, is known.
As long as you do not come to the summit [of the hill], you can not find [you can see what is beyond].
One goes step by step,
When one comes to the summit
Beyond [the hill] is seen like in the example of bird.
At that time, “Beautiful,” is said,
It is solved.
We gave the interpretation of the day.
[unless] It is not known thanks to the moon, [moon==Hazrat Ali; star==saint; sun==Prophet Mohammad]
[unless] It is not said thanks to the star,
[unless] Each event is seen without smoke,
Intense information depresses.
Sun gives to each one who takes.
The value of the view is not measured
Because where he/she looks from, is not known.
We gave before:
Each one who sees does not describe the tree exactly the same
Because he/she does not see from the same direction.
The one who sits underneath, describes its branches;
The one who looks from the top, [describes] its leaf.
From right, from left, it is always [described] differently.
For that [reason], let us not find fault in view.
In [the case of] view:
Let us say, “Beautiful,” to the one who has wideness,
Let us not criticize the one who[se view] comes as narrow.
In coming [to after earth life],
Let us give that the interpretation [of our chats] is taken [understood]. [let one digest the interpretation of our chats before migration to after earth life]
“We promenaded across land after land,
In each one who/that came, we perceived The One Who existed,”
He said, my Yunus greeted.
“Your being is close friend with my being;
What you take is close friend with what you know.
I came, [I am] close friend Hamza,”
He said, he greeted.
It is known that we conform,
Our name is called as Mevlana.
Let selam [greeting/peace] be.
Let the one who sends, find our path.
We took [your greeting], we said, “Eyvallah [thank You].”
We pleaded for all of them.
Goodbye.
Lailaheillallah Muhammedur Resulullah. [Allah is The only One to be worshiped, and Mohammad is HIS Representative.]
