SPACE
There is not air in space!..
Neither is there water!..
Nor gravitation!
Space is dark!.. Cold!.. Senseless!
Space is "alive"!..
"Conscious"..
It has "waves"!..
It envelops the hell; which means
nothing at Its sight!..
It embraces heaven, feeds it with
Its milk and watches Its wonders!..
Space is comprehensive… It makes ins,
jinni and angels existent within Its own existence… Watches Itself in them all…
All that is in the air, in fire, in
earth and in water... In all beings that come to being from those…
It makes all things "alive"
with Its own being!..
We live with air, with water,
with earth and with fire!.. Space is our fifth element!
We come from space and go to space,
if only we can go!
Space is "esma"!
Space is mazhar-I sifat (expositon of attributes)!.. Space is
an illusion (khayal)!
Space is silence, peace and
tolerance!
You cannot live without a cocoon in
space! You cannot merge into space and stay without a cocoon!
You cannot come to face the reality
of space! Because you are a human from earth!..
You were created from mud, you are
fed by earth, nurtured by water and you are alive with fire!
You are eating, you are being eaten
and you carry on your life within a vicious circle!
You, the fifth element…
Do you know yourself?.. Do you know
your selfness that is beyond water, earth, air and fire? Do you know your roots in
space?..
Do you know the undivided,
unbroken singularity of space?
You assume that space is an
emptiness without air!. Is dark! Is a lifeless and unaware dull being!
Space is actually the breath (nafas-i)
of Rahman, is the sultanate of Subhan!..
With It exist all dimensions; in It
placed are all the worlds! Within It do all the endless, limitless lives abide!
Your heaven is with It, your cocoon
is with It!.. Your food is, your water is with It, your love is with It!.
If you can save your fifth element
from the restrictions of the other four, you will perceive that space is your everything!
Everything stands upon (qaim) Its waves… All things unfold from within Its waves!
It watches through Its waves.. With waves that It becomes "I" and It
subsists in Itself alone!
How can we know space from our
cocoons, at all?
Yet we know the water! It sometimes
runs out from a spring, emerging to the surface coming out from depths. Sometimes it
becomes a geyser, gushes out hot to the earth's surface from depths! Or it flows down
along with a path, spreads out life; becoming a river it gets together and becomes a lake,
sprouts lives and also sends water to people…
It collects sometimes to become big,
big seas, it becomes oceans and nurtures so many lives that we are not familiar with at
all and make them survive in different worlds… Sometimes it becomes an artesian well,
comes up to the earth’s surface within a disposition, and becomes a healing power for
humans!
Traveling overseas beyond oceans,
some of them see and experience the diversity of worlds, and they realize that there are
quiet different understandings and lives beyond deep waters… While some others remain in
their villages or areas of district as blind, deaf and as pretenders being unaware of the
worlds beyond deep waters, at all...
Waters separate people of different
worlds from each other!
Water married to the earth and you
were born! Don't you know that earth has been your mother, water your father? Your body is
the earth, and inside is water! You survive with earth; water gives nourishment to it!
How come that fire was born out of
earth and gave you health with fire! Kept you alive with its heat in your organs and
vessels! Flowing through all your cells from your brain, it carried news to their master
again! Radiating out from your brain, it made you come to face with your inner face!
White fire, black fire; they balance
each other! We will see which one of them will finally eliminate the other!
Air! The object that saves the
world's life…
Your cells survive with it, your
brain with it, also! Your fire is burnt with it, your water is found with it, also! It is
air that you love and show passion and that also becomes your enemy and you escape from!
It is that you are either not aware of, or you worship!
Earth comes to being from it, fire
from it, water from it, your being also from it.
Your earth will go into earth, your
water into air!
Where will you go when your air
is gone to air?
It descends (tanazzul) and
becomes air, it descends and becomes fire, it descends and becomes earth,
and becomes water, it descends and becomes "you"; where you the
fifth element, where will you go?
Will you keep the earth as your
locality (residence), or water, or air, or fire?
Or else, will you reside in space,
saying, "I reside in nonlocality"?
Oh you! The fifth element…
You, the substance of fifth
dimension, that was born out of matter…
Know that the love of country
comes from faith (iman).. Come back to your country! To the residence of nonlocality,
to the presence of the FRIEND!
Find life with the "Life"…
Find "Spirit" (ruuh) with the "Spirit"…
Know yourself; overpass your
body, if you love "I" that is your essence.
Recognize space; know space!
Space is Rahim, space is Haliym,
space is Karim, space is Azim!.
Reflected on a mirror, It took
the name of "space", created the creation and left Itself
separate by Its "name" only.
Come on my friend, carry out
ascension! Make your life a "miraaj".
Carry out salaat, carry out salaam,
carry out rahmat with salaat!..
It became a geyser with Its Jalal
(Majesty) It became a spring with Its Jamal (Beauty) in its ocean of Qamal
(Perfection), It spread out ilm (knowledge) and irfan (awareness) to us.
If we fail to make best of this
blessing (nimat) and this breath that we take, all the ornaments of our world is
then entirely sin to us tomorrow!
Come on souls, let us be one "soul"!
Let us be haaq (soil) in Haqq (the Turth)! Letting our being
go into space, let us be a wave in an ocean!
Let us love and be loved; let us
please and let us share, life is for Hu, let us contemplate with Hu at all
times!
Do not nourish hatred, do not
backbite, keep your hands off what is not yours, do not look with stranger eyes and do not
receive the wrath of your essence — the space!.
Do not assume your body as your
dimension, do not seek for your place in the sky, "you" are a nonlocal
being; take off your clothes now!
Rasul has come from his space,
gives information from his Beloved, but you say you need the world, that you have nothing
to do with the Beloved...
Listen my friend, the intend of all
these words is that…
All hearts may be ONE…
Relations of Space are the
rosarium (gardens) of HAQQ!
Its attainers are
buddingroses.
Do not assume that space is
separate! That Haqq is separate, and so is space, also… Unless you know yourself,
HAQQ is then separate in your assumption!
The intend of all that word is:
One who does not know the ONEness and does not
give ear to RASUL, and does not turn toward the Koran, is not to know what the
"space" is, at all!
