Kökler Kitap adopts as its motto, above all else, to stand with the positive against the negative.
It strives, to the extent of its power, to steer the negative features necessitated by the time in the direction of the good, the true, and the beautiful.
It assumes the morality of knowing and accepting how to be in the middle and at the very back, just as much as embracing being at the front in the face of circumstances.
It follows a mission that always observes the 'inner' and opens to the 'outer' in proportion to the quality within.
The state of those who wish to be crew members on this Sefine (Vessel) must be as follows: to be in an effort to adorn themselves with the morality of the friends of Allah and to administer the world.
The morality that must be formed in the direction of service is aimed at the wisdom of bringing one's own ego to the ground rather than one's opponent's back, and to deserve to be a structure where those who cannot maintain this direction cannot find shelter.
“No one can be happy within a community, nor can they be considered their master, until they see them as superior to themselves and prefer them to their own essence in every situation.
In every case, they must prefer them to their own soul and not accept any preference for themselves that excludes them,” striving to reach this wisdom.
To be in proportion to the truth: “A sign of foolishness is to boast about something without ensuring it cannot be taken from your hands... Or, to criticize someone who is afflicted with something, even though it is not impossible for the same thing to happen to you.”
To strive to act according to the verse: “Whoever is led by their crimes into arrogance, for them there is humiliation and disgrace in the sight of Allah... And Allah's punishment is severe.” (6:124)
To maintain the direction of: “Whoever wishes that the world bows before them, their demand must only be for Allah, may He be glorified and exalted... If a person finds their own humanity, they are the deputy of the Truth (Haqq).”
THE MYSTERY OF THE CIRCLE, THE HORIZON OF INFINITY... Remembering the truth that the circle is a 'Point' and realizing that every abstraction of knowledge settles on the Point, returning to the wisdom of Ali ibn Abi Talib (may Allah honor his face), “Knowledge was a single point, the ignorant multiplied it”; turning towards the mystery of the circle... reaching the wisdom that the point is the circle and the circle is the point.
THE HORIZON OF INFINITY... The Kökler Association aims to observe the horizons that human capacity can reach, to raise consciousness by placing the human at the center, and to follow this direction.
And to penetrate the meaning that reveals the true goal of Kökler, which is an address by the Friends of Allah (Ismail Hakki Bursevi): It should be read with the effort of comprehension:
“The basis of this is that the ancestor of the Ottoman rulers, Osman Ghazi, found power and state through reverence for the people of the Quran and IRFAN (gnosis).
He who authorized him was from the path of Alaeddin Selçuki. He handed over the reins of the state to Mawlana Jalaluddin and said, 'The state is not mine, it is yours.'
For this reason, they call him Molla Hünkar. He was close to Hacı Bektaş-ı Veli and received his prayers.
One of the greatest of the Sheikhs, Edebali, took him (Osman Ghazi) as a son-in-law, and Sultan Orhan was born of him. Especially at that time, Sadreddin, the son of the Seal of Saints (Khatm al-Awliya), the sheikh of the sheikhs of the world, was in Konya.
All these great people had their gaze upon the Ottoman state, and the Janissaries, Sipahis, Artillerists, and Armory corps were organized as THE FOUR PILLARS OF THE STATE, and the SEVEN DOME MINISTERS were erected in correspondence to the Companions of the Cave (Ashab-i Kehf), the ministers of the Mahdi.
There is no Ottoman rank above this that is not based on a great name among the Divine Comprehensive Names, and there is no deed that does not take form upon A SUBLIME SIGN BELONGING TO A QUTB (Pole).
Reflect on the fact that one day the staff or shoes of a denier remained in the room of Sheikh Abu Yazid (may his secret be sanctified). Abu Yazid could not find the sweetness of his worship that day. Because the darkness of the belongings belonging to the denier had begun to permeate. For this reason, rulers and their deputies must be of the people of the path. The Sheikh-ul-Islams and the scholars under their banner are also like this.”
It is after the decline of these wise times that everything has been overturned. For this period, the Sheikh says:
The building of piety has collapsed and become a complete ruin.
An owl of some kind has hooted on every rooftop in the world; the work of the OUTER (Zahir) and the INNER (Batin) is finished and done.
Therefore, a moderate intention and a firm support are needed, so that it may be established with the manners of the outer Sharia and remain constant in the presence of the inner Truth.
So that those in the realm of property may find stability through its outer aspect and those in the realm of the angelic kingdom may find firmness through its inner aspect... SO THAT FORM AND MEANING MAY BE SAVED FROM CONFUSION.”
The doors of the Kökler Association are wide open to those who maintain their intentions in the direction of these desires and goals... Every mortal will be judged according to their intention. With the prayer that Allah, may He be glorified and exalted, may protect our good intentions, remain in the entrustment of Allah.
