“- If you come across a man while wandering in the Valley of Unity, you will see that his heart lies in his eyes. If, in the heart you see in his eyes, you can see the heart you see in your own eyes, say to him, ‘Are you me?'”<\/p>\n
This statement was perceived during a deep mystical state of concentration between 1970 and 1976. Love\u2014which is regarded as the essential quality required to transform the distant into the near within the spiritual path\u2014is of great interest to the human world. <\/p>\n
A person who sets out on a journey from multiplicity toward unity must always keep alive the determination to learn to adapt from the transient to the unchanging. This feeling is a sense of longing. Prophet Jacob (peace be upon him), driven by this feeling, never severed his bond with Prophet Joseph (peace be upon him) nor lost hope (The Holy Quran, 12:84). <\/p>\n
Hazrat Mevl\u00e2n\u00e2 began the *Mesnevi* by describing the ney and, through symbols, drew a parallel between the reed\u2019s longing for the soil\u2014its homeland\u2014and the human being\u2019s yearning for the realm of unity and infinity\u2014his true homeland\u2014as he journeys from the realm of unity to the realm of multiplicity. <\/p>\n
The fact that love unites the lover and the beloved makes it necessary to strive to understand what love truly is. Hazrat Mevl\u00e2n\u00e2 guides us with the statement: \u201cLove is a love that cannot be counted or measured.\u201d \u201cThey love Allah, and Allah loves them. Holy Quran 5:54.\u201d Love is a divine mercy spread throughout the universe, embodying the meaning of the beautiful name of Allah, al-Vedud. Hazrat Mevl\u00e2n\u00e2 describes the relationship between love and knowledge with the words, \u201cThis love, too, is the result of knowledge; how could incomplete knowledge give rise to love?\u201d thereby demonstrating the quality of knowledge. Reason\u2014a vital faculty bestowed upon humanity as a means to attain true knowledge\u2014is a phenomenon that must be thoroughly understood. \u201cThe essence of reason is to foresee the outcome. A mind that fails to see the outcome is the ego; a mind overcome by the ego has become the ego itself. “If a person falls under the influence of Saturn, they become like Saturn.” \u2014 Hz. Mevl\u00e2n\u00e2, Mesnevi, Volume II. When reason surrenders the crucible of life to Love, the heart, filled with love, is adorned with its qualities. Through the knowledge of Love and the love of knowledge, \u201cToday We have removed the veil that stood between you and Us. Holy Qur\u2019an, 50:22\u201d and \u201cThe earth has been illuminated by the light of your Lord. The Holy Quran, 39:69\u2014\u201d The path to understanding and experiencing these verses is opened. <\/p>\n
The unity and balance of form and meaning, which bring the distant near; true knowledge, which transforms ignorance and darkness into light; and the blossoming of sincerity, patience, hope, faith, and diligence\u2014all set a person on a safe path: \u201c\u2018O My servants, today there is no fear for you\u2026 nor will you grieve.\u2019 The Holy Qur\u2019an, 43:63\u201d<\/p>\n
When a person\u2014sent to this world as God\u2019s vicegerent\u2014learns virtue, becomes worthy of Him, and, having realized the purpose of life, puts it into practice, they move from distance to closeness, from separation to union, and their vision becomes clear: \u201c\u2018If you polish your heart, you can see Him even in this world\u2026 Seek to polish your heart through the remembrance of the Truth\u2026\u2019 Abdulkadir al-Geylani, Mektubat, p. 35\u2014\u201d<\/p>\n
