Remembering Mevlana / Mevlana'yı hatırlamak...

MEVLANA Celalladin-i Rumi




Mevlana was born in Bhalk, Persia, in 1207 from an aristocratic family, Rumi died in 1273. People say that he played about 70.000 verses. Many of them, are included in his masterpiece "Masnavi-yi Manari".



"In generosity and helping others, be like a river. In compassion and grace, be like the sun. In concealing other's faults, be like the night. In anger and fury, be like dead. In modesty and humility, be like the earth. In tolerance, be like the sea. Either appear as you are, or be as you appear"...

Şayet gökyüzü aşık değilse, kapalı olacaktır.

Eğer güneş, aşık değilse, aydınlatmayacaktır dünyayı.

Eğer nehir aşık değilse, sessizliğe gömülecek, kaskatı kesilecektir.

Eğer dağlar ve toprak aşık değilse, o zaman hiçbir bitki yetişmeyecektir yeryüzünde.
*<*>*

Her gün bir yerden göçmek ne iyi.

Her gün bir yere konmak ne güzel.

Bulanmadan, donmadan akmak ne hoş.

Dünle beraber gitti, cancağzım,

Ne kadar söz varsa düne ait.

Şimdi yeni şeyler söylemek lazım

*<*>*

Dün gece Akıl'la söyleşip durdum

Ona hakikatin sırrını sordum

"Dinle" dedi, "bu bilinir söylenmez"

O sustukça ben sırrı kavrıyordum

*<*>*

Ölümümüzden sonra mezarımızı yerde aramayınız! Bizim mezarımız âriflerin gönüllerindedir...

Brainstorming on a sunny afternoon...

Brainstorming on a sunny afternoon...

sitting in my room,

trying to look in the world in a broader perspective...


The world seems as if it is going on back and back... Many things are getting worse... I am tired of hearing the very bad news every minute.


We should find a way to focus on people... We should be united for diversity in a broader perspective. I believe that people can change for understanding and respect. Any people from any background and any thought is an enrichment for the society. But how can we make them work for a bright future together?


Unfortunately there are many abuses, many violations of rights all around the world. The political and governmental powers do not care about the people. They are the small toys of the enormous corporates. They are enlightened with the power of money!...


We do have some tools... We do have knowledge how to work against all this violent, discriminative, fascist and militarist behaviour. What we need is to come together in a strategically planned approach... We are capable of intercultural education, peace education and human rights education. I am glad that I have an aim and I know the tools and involved to work my aim of life (motto)...

Living Library, Porvoo - Finland, 18th May 2007.


Since June 2006 we are shouting "ALL DIFFERENT ALL EQUAL" in Europe. It is a campaign of the youth! The campaign is fantastic... It is built on a fantasy.... on a dream for future... on a commitment to fullfil...


I am committed with the campaign. I am trying to help in making those objectives above a reality. I am convinced that all those obstacles can be overcome... All I saying is "Let's help the campaign to achieve further..."
