Allahu akbar kabeera walhamdulillahi ‘l katheera wa subhaanAllahi ‘l-` Azheem wa bihamdihi ‘l kareem bukratan wa aseela. La ilaaha illa-Llah, Allahu akbar, Allahu akbar, wa lillahi ‘l-hamd!
We are asking forgiveness, O our Lord. Lord of the whole creation, forgive us. We are asking Your blessings and we are humbly asking from Your glorious and majestic Being asking for Your most beloved and honored servant through your Divine Presence. Allahumma salli wa sallim wa baarik `ala sayyidi ‘l-awwaleen wa’l-aakhireen, Sayyidina Muhammad (s). (Mawlana Shaykh sits.)
O our listeners, as-salaamu `alaykum! May Allah forgive us, because we are doing so many nonsense actions and we are running after so many bad activities and we are going to be such heedless ones! We are asking forgiveness from our Creator, for the honor of most honored one in His Divine Presence. Finally, we are asking support from our master, master of this planet, that he can accept our humble asking. We are humbly asking from our planet’s master and we are coming and asking him to help us. Yes, we are helpless ones. “Helpless” means we cannot do anything by ourselves. Such instruments here if through themselves can’t do anything. They are in need of a power reaching to them, so that they may be alive. Hearing, listening, understanding and sending their messages through east and west, but we are not seeing that power; we are only looking and seeing instruments in front of ourselves. The secret power that makes them work and do what we are asking, you can’t see. In such a way everything that people reaching through their lives to reach to their targets, they must use some Power Stations for supporting them. If those Power Stations are not reaching to them, they are like statues, never understanding; looking but not seeing, hearing but not understanding, saying but not understanding. They can do everything, but they can’t be able to understand what is this, what is that, what is this for, for what that one?
Therefore, we are in need of a power you can’t see, power reaching from endless Power Oceans of the Lord of Heavens, reaching and making people to understand something. But if a person is not interested and only occupied with his material being, they can’t reach what they are asking to reach, that target. Yes, and we have such a strange power that we may understand something without looking, seeing, and hearing. We have been donated such secret powers and that power making you to step, that power making you to see, that power making you to hear and understand. When you are looking at that power it is showing you what you are asking to see, and what you are asking to reach through your looking. But if a person is looking an empty looking, that means he is not using that power that belongs to his eyes to reach to that point and to understand.
Now, if I am looking like this I may see the moon, but it is a simple looking. My looking, reaching up to moon. But there is another looking that I am asking: when I am looking to understand what is that and for what it is and what is its mission. So there are two kinds of looking: one looking is your looking so simple, and second looking with heavenly power that gives to you heavenly wisdom. If you are using heavenly power, you may reach that one’s wisdom for what that moon was created. What is the main purpose for that moon to be in nighttime and not daytime? Daytime you may see, but you are not interested with moon as you are interested in the nighttime. So that is one kind of looking, very simple, very simple. Have you ever looked and seen a cat making its eyes like this and looking to the moon? No, it is not necessary for cats, for dogs, or for donkeys to look and to ask what is the benefit, no need. But you, because you have been created to be deputies of your Creator, therefore, who is created by divine order, his position just 100% different from other creatures’ looking. That is your honor because you have been given good tidings, just granted to you that you are created to be your Lord’s deputies. Therefore, coming such a powers that without having some special manifestation through yourself you can’t understand, because manifestation of Mankind is 100% different from other creatures. Even angels have a level, but the level of Mankind is above.
Once I was going with my master and he was walking one way and he suddenly stopped and looked at a shop vitrine (glass showcase). There were some instruments there and he looked one second and said to me, “Nazim Effendi, a real representative of being deputy, if he is looking something, he must reach the reason or the wisdom for that one to be in existence. To look at it with empty eyes, you and a donkey going to be on same level.” Therefore, if you are looking you must reach the reason of that one’s existence. Therefore we have been granted eyes for looking. There is a simple looking and there is a real looking. Real looking is carrying wisdom and taking wisdom. Therefore, if such a person is looking at the moon, he must know something about the moon and its being in heavens, through space.
Every creature, every creation for what? To be your daleel (guide). Every creation is something that taking you to know about the existence of the Lord of Heavens, guiding you. Everything! Wa fee kulli shayin lahu fidaya... tadullu annahu wahidun. For everything that you are looking, you are taking a deep wisdom to know the existence of the Lord of Creation.
Now people are using only the simple powers of their physical being, and that is not enough to take you through oceans of Reality. You may look, and people are trying to look in the deeply positions, asking to know something about this universe. They are using only some instruments that belong to them, to show some measures, but it is not a real. Perhaps they may say there are some solar systems, some galaxies deeply, deeply, deeply through space, but they are not using the real spiritual power that has been granted through their spiritual being. They are only using their physical being’s possible powers and saying, “Oh, that one’s distance is 15 billion light years.” For shame, it is not a real measure and they are only using the possibility of their physical being and what they are showing is always different. They can’t measure it through their physical being and its powers. But Man just granted as being deputies of the Creator, God, Allah Almighty. That power may show to a person real distance without getting a mistake. What they are saying through their physical being’s ability is not a reality, no. It is only such a thing that you can’t say it is reality because it is only a show. They may imagine, and they are using only imagining, but imaginings are not reality: imagination is something and reality is something else.
Therefore, Mankind now are trying to reach the deep points of this universe but what they are all saying is only imagination, not more. What they are saying, never passing over imagination to reach reality. Imagination is something else, and reality something else. Imagination may be changed daily, one-hundred times or one-thousand times, one-million times or one-billion times. Imagination may be changed because it is never fixed, but reality is fixed, never going to be changed! And through reality also there are so many levels. First level, that understanding from reality that belongs to that one, second level from reality is just 100% different from the first level and such a way going up endlessly, endlessly. As much as you are approaching from Divine Oceans, that much you are reaching heavenly levels, and that always changing because the Lord of Creation, our Lord, no one can bring any description on His Real B His Real Essence! Tajalli, manifestation, is always changing and it is impossible to reach an end. You are reaching something but you can’t reach whole thing, because He is the Lord of Creation and the Creator never going to be like creatures, no! Therefore, no similarity for Him and you can’t know: what you are knowing is nothing. Therefore, you are running, running, running and asking, hal min mazeed, “Give us more,” O our Lord. Because as much as they are running, their pleasure getting more, their lights getting more, their visions getting more, their knowledge getting more, and their desires getting more.
O People! Try to understand such things! What you are learning through colleges or universities or academies is nothing. Nothing! Giving nothing to you. Finally you are going to be tired and will say, “I am just tired and I don’t like more than this. When I am finishing this level second, I am not asking for more.” That Reality making people to ask for more. Their pleasures getting more and more and more, and their capacities reaching to endless Oceans. Therefore, they are asking, “Hal min mazeed, “Give us more,” O our Lord. We are so happy, so in pleasure, endlessly pleasure for us, give us more.” And the Lord saying, “For you, more and more and more from pre-Eternal up to Eternal. Therefore, I am granting to you, Eternity, Eternity, Eternity.” Those people whom reaching to that level they are asking Eternity, Eternity, Eternity! Hal min mazeed, “No more, O our Lord?” Allah (swt) is saying, “That is for you, so ask more and take more!”
O People! You are in heedless oceans, finishing, finishing. Heedlessly powers that covering heedless people are like oceans also and making people to sink more and more and more, to get down and down and down. Instead of being happy and in pleasure, they are getting much more narrow, narrow, narrow. That is an example for black holes. Black holes, if falling in it, endlessly going down, down, down, down; you can’t find an end. Enlightened universes taking you up, up, up, more and more and more, to endless pleasure.
O People! Try for an understanding. But awliya say now all people are drunks, who never understand anything from Enlightened Oceans of Creation. Others never reach an end for the darkness of their ignorance; their knowledge is never giving to them enlightenment! Now people are running after something that never gives any reality about the Creator, or anything of value, although all Mankind was granted the best chance! May Allah forgive us!
Allah Allah, Allah Allah, Allah Allah, Allah Allah.
Allah Allah, Allah Allah, Allah Allah, Allah Allah.
You should be happy. As-salaamu `alaykum!

O People! Ask your Lord to grant you real pleasure, don’t waste your lives for nothing. This world is like a dark prison.
(42 minutes) It is enough.
Allah Allah, Allah Allah, Allah Allah, Allah Allah. Allah Allah, Allah Allah, Allah Allah, Allah Allah.
Fatihah.
Thank you for your listening. Allah makes us to be from those people whom they are accepting Reality and asking lights and enlightened territories, to save ourselves from dark and darkness territories.
Bi jaahi nabiyyika ‘l-kareem bi jaahi Suratu ‘l-Fatihah.
