JOURNEY OF LOVE

Is there anyone who went and didn’t come back?

Welcome, Yunus Efendi.

Welcome.

Stop. Stop now.

Where are you going?

You just came.

Get well soon, Yunus Efendi.

May God don’t give you another accident.

Amen.

Mirror, let it go, take it outside, it should go.

Is it ill? Does it have a tick?

Dirty blood has been smeared on my hand.

Let it go.

How are you, Sahip Efendi?

Did the pain subside a bit?

The world is like this.

You carry it on your back.

It sucks your blood.

Parasites don’t know...

...that there’s no life over life.

But you’re soothed now.

When they don’t know, they are taken out by force.

We gave you a bit of trouble but...

...patience.

You have time anyway.

He had a tick.

Went in on his neck.

Fellow Mirror brought him in for a reason.

He meant for us to find its troubles.

What did we do?

We threw a life that is struggling to live, from one side to another.

Only a fellow can understand the value of life.

There’s always a reason.

Were you with him when he woke up?

No, I was not.

I saw it when I came to his side.

After the accident when they came to my father...

...no one said anything but... -Don’t say that.

He’s saved.

The rest is not important.

Hopefully, he’ll be up in no time.

The food is getting cold.

Let’s go and see how they are.

Step slowly.

Do you feel a pain in your leg?

Take a step with your other leg, slowly.

Slow, slow.

A person gets scared in the first steps.

Like he’s taking his first steps in the world.

As if there’s an ant nest under his foot, he can’t step down.

I hope a trouble finds us as well then.

Don’t talk like that, efendi.

His clothes are ready.

Come on, girls.

-Welcome, fellows. -Thank you, my sheikh.

Thank you, my sheikh.

-Get well soon, Yunus Efendi. -Get well soon, Yunus Efendi.

You almost left us in debt, Yunus Efendi.

Where were you going before we pay our debt of life?

-Get well soon. -Get well soon, Yunus.

-Get well soon, my Yunus. -Get well soon.

-Get well soon, Yunus Efendi. -May God save you from recurrence.

Amen!

Come on.

Let’s pray then.

Will you be able to pray, fellow?

If you can’t, you can pray later on.

If you say that you can, you can pray sitting down.

Alright then.

Water basin is on the left, did you forget, fellow?

God is great.

God hears those who are thankful.

God is great.

God is great.

God is great.

God is great.

After months...

...you’ll be staying in your cell, fellow.

Did you notice a change...

...in your cell?

Sit down, fellow.

If you can’t get ready, I’ll help you.

No.

Well then.

Excuse us, have a good night, fellow.

Thank you, Kazim Efendi.

Don’t get up.

Do you have a pain...

...or anything that’s troubling you?

My legs.

Do you remember...

...the first time you entered this cell?

Who was with you?

You were.

Okay, then.

Excuse us.

-Have a good night, fellow. -You too, Kazim Efendi.

You too.

If you need anything...

...call us.

Is there anyone who went and didn’t come back?

Welcome, Yunus Efendi.

Welcome.

Get well soon, Yunus Efendi.

May God save you from anymore accidents.

Get up, go to sleep, my girl.

-I’m not sleepy, mother. -But your eyes tell another story.

You are you waiting for, go, sleep.

Where is Yunus Efendi?

The fellows told him to stay in the lodge.

-In the cell he used to stay. -He could have stayed for a few more days.

I said so as well, but he says he’s fine.

Kasim insisted to take care of him.

His medicine is here, father.

Doctor Mikel told us to make sure he takes them.

We can give it in the morning, he’s not far away.

-Get well soon, Yunus Efendi. -Get well soon, Yunus Efendi.

You almost left us in debt, Yunus Efendi.

Where were you going before we pay our debt of life?

-Get well soon. -Get well soon, Yunus.

-Get well soon, my Yunus. -Get well soon.

Come on, let’s pray then.

Welcome, Yunus Efendi, welcome.

Get well soon, Yunus Efendi.

Get well soon, fellow.

Yunus!

I understand.

I am Yunus.

But...

...who is Yunus?

Who are you, Yunus?

Who are you?

My girl.

My girl, take this so...

...Ali Taygu Efendi can give them to Yunus Efendi.

Alright, mother.

-His medicine is here. -Take them as well.

The fellows are in the courtyard.

Efendi...

...could you take this to Yunus, milk would soften it, it’d be good for him.

He probably has difficulty in swallowing.

I’ll take it, mother.

We had to give his medicine as well.

JOURNEY OF LOVE

This project has been prepared with the section about Yunus Emre from...

..."Tezkireyi Has" written by Ibrahim Has and compilations of Mustafa Tatci.

Welcome, Fellow Yunus. Are you looking for someone?

Are you hungry? I made some lentil soup, heals even the soul.

Do you remember, Fellow Yunus?

You used to say that you never tasted anything like my soup in...

...Konya’s inns nor in Karatay’s kitchen.

Come on, sit. Don’t stand there, come on.

May it be health and medicine.

Come on.

In the name of God.

In the name of God.

May peace be with you.

-Did you see Yunus Efendi, fellow? -I didn’t, Fellow Kasim.

Strange.

Did they take him to the garden?

I came from the garden, he’s not there either.

You didn’t eat anything, fellow.

Let me bring you some rice.

Yunus...

...they could have brought your soup to the cell.

He came by himself.

I didn’t know, Kasim Efendi.

May peace be with you.

May peace be with you as well with God’s grace and mercy.

God.

Mother Vahide boiled some milk. Sit down, sit. Drink your soup.

What is the matter, Kasim? What are you thinking?

If you excuse me, I’d like to go to the market, my sheikh.

Go and finish your chores.

The lodge has a lot of chores.

Then go and come quickly.

Sit down, sit.

Sit so that we can do a food prayer, fellows.

We pray for you, God is only one.

God is only one.

God is only one.

God is only one.

God is only one.

God, God.

God, God.

God.

Only one.

With God’s mercy.

You are God

You give prosperity

You give wisdom

You give mercy

Through the Prophet

For the good of people

For the good of unknown

For the good of our order

For the good of all Mohammed followers

For the good of all saints and fellows

Show us your mercy and bounty

Accept our Fatiha prayer.

May peace be with you, Kasim Efendi.

-May peace be with you too, efendi. -What’s up, where are you going?

Our lodge needs a few things.

-If you need something from us... -No need, thank you.

Okay. Give our regards and respect to the sheikh.

As you wish.

-Do I have permission, Sister Sultan? -Come in, master, come in.

-May God be helpful. -May God accept.

Come, Yunus.

My sheikh said that Yunus Efendi had some medicines.

-Welcome. -Thank you.

Yunus Efendi came to take his medicines Ali Taygu Efendi.

Come in, Ali Taygu Efendi, come in.

I’ll get the medicine right away.

Hope you are better, God willing.

I’m better.

It’s not easy, of course. You were bedridden for a month.

Even the water was given drop by drop...

Mikel Efendi is a good doctor.

We wouldn’t have been relaxed if it wasn’t for him.

Such a coincidence.

You were appointed to Nallihan and on your first day...

...you went to his office.

Here they are.

Hopefully it’ll cure you quickly, God willing.

God willing.

Mikel Efendi said that you should not neglect it.

Come on, let’s go, Yunus Efendi.

Two bunches.

Kasim Efendi, welcome.

Thank you, Sister Kira.

Is Mikel Efendi not in?

My father went to look at a patient.

What’s up, I hope you are not sick.

No, I’m not.

There was an issue.

I came for advice.

Please do tell.

If I can be of assistance...

It’s a private matter.

A relative of mine had an accident.

I was going to consult him.

What happened?

Well...

He fell off a cliff while shepherding.

They brought someone from a village at night but...

...which village was it?

Kara...

Karatepe. Karatepe village.

They didn’t bring him to us.

What’s his problem?

It’s been about a month since the accident but...

...it’s as if he doesn’t remember anything.

He doesn’t recognize faces or places he’s been to.

It’s as if he sees the world for a very first time.

It happens but I don’t know why.

My father says it happens to people who receive a blow on the head.

Some forget everything, some forget some parts.

Don’t they remember later?

Of course they do.

But how? Does it happen suddenly?

Or slowly? My father didn’t mention it.

Don’t lose hope.

Bring him in if possible, for my father to see.

My father has seen people who even forgot who they are.

Now they live their life like before.

What happened, father?

Sit, my girl, sit.

Father!

Yunus Efendi.

I’m listening, my girl.

He’s a bit strange.

The world itself is strange, my girl.

Why shouldn’t his be?

He looks like he sees everything for the first time.

Everything, everywhere.

As if he doesn’t know or recognize.

Anything or anyone.

Him knowing himself is enough.

Who are you?

Who are you?

We are not doctors for you to get up, son.

Sit, come on, sit.

Is your bed comfortable?

Well?

You must have gotten used to comfortable beds in Konya in three months.

We don’t have cotton mattresses in the cells, like we have at home.

Well?

Is there anything you want, anything you want to say?

Then if you excuse us, we’ll leave.

My sheikh.

When words flow over the silence, even the tongue cannot stop it.

Come on, tell me.

Who am I?

Who am I, my sheikh?

Everybody knows who you are.

Only you don’t.

Who are you?

If you don’t know yourself, what use is that everyone knows you...

...and you know everyone?

We can’t tell you who you are.

But if you want...

...and if you have strength...

...we can go out and walk a bit.

You know what they say?

Feet walk...

...mind works.

Come on then.

Will you be able to pray, fellow?

If you can’t, you can pray later on.

If you say that you can, you can pray sitting down.

Alright then.

Water basin is on the left, did you forget, fellow?

Thank you, Kazim Efendi.

The Pulpit-maker has been gone for three days.

They wouldn’t return before finishing their work.

It may last three days or five.

My sheikh.

Come on now...

...let’s search together who you are, what you are.

You look better.

You look well, fellow.

To your health, Yunus Efendi.

We’ll get a bit of fresh air with Yunus.

Look...

...everyone knows you.

Look, he knows you as well.

Ask him.

How does he know you?

Stop!

Stop, stop!

Then we’d need to give you a new duty as well.

Take this now.

Let this be your new duty.

You look after Karabash.

You are responsible for it until it gets used to here.

My lady prepared food for it, put it on its plate.

Where is Karabash?

I don’t know, my sheikh.

Don’t know what you know, know what you don’t know.

It’s gone, my sheikh.

If you let it loose, of course it’ll run away.

Go on, find it.

It doesn’t get tamed or trained.

When it fills up its stomach, fulfills its earthly needs, it runs away.

Now go, find and bring it back.

If it doesn’t want to come, put it on a leash.

If it gets stubborn...

...put a leash around its neck and pull it here. Look for it in the market.

Look at every corner, every road, even in every shop.

Wherever there’s someone giving it food, it’ll stay there.

Come, my girl.

Do you have the energy to look for yourself?

It came.

They tied it up.

It must be hungry.

Prepare some food for the poor thing.

Mother...

-My father and Yunus Efendi... -Yes?

They were outside.

Thank God, Yunus Efendi is cured.

Where do they go?

I don’t know.

They are looking for something...

...but he doesn’t say what.

My girl, you made me curious as well.

If don’t have anything to do, try to think something useful.

Let us see what the horses are doing.

These fellows carry our load for years.

It’s seen like they carry our load but...

Actually they carry our burdens.

This was a visitor which came with you.

Do you know it?

Look at him a bit.

It’s trying to tell you something.

What does it say?

Please don't.

Please don't.

Look at it...

...what does Nallihan say to you?

Look at that square...

...those roads.

-Isn’t he the cadi? -What cadi?

The cadi who resigned, Yunus Efendi.

-Yes, that’s him. -Get out of here.

Take this dog from here.

The deranged who can’t look after himself has gone and got a dog.

Yunus!

Please don't.

Please don't.

This is the square of Nallihan.

Wherever the warning stone is...

...the square is there.

They say masters, gentlemen, judges will leave the middle of the town empty.

We’d get the axe out and force your head on a log in the middle of the town...

...just to set an example.

There...

...the owners of the square.

-May peace be with you. -With you too.

Get well soon, Yunus Efendi.

Thank God that you are up.

Thank you.

Hasan Efendi.

Hasan Efendi.

You didn’t see him for two days...

...did you forget the pulpit guy, Cadi Efendi?

Stop!

Stop!

Hasan the Pulpit-maker is innocent.

Come on.

May peace be with you.

May peace be with you as well.

Where do you come from, where do you go?

I came from the road, will go on the road.

God is great! God is great!

There is only one and only God!

Compassion being crueler than treachery.

Compassion being crueler than treachery.

Who said it?

Who heard it?

Where did he say it?

Let me tell you, for you to listen.

Odon said so, Odon.

Who is this Odon?

A priest.

We can’t always tell our tales.

Let this discussion be from a priest.

Even if a priest is saying it, truth is always the truth.

Just because a priest said so...

...would a truth become a lie?

This priest Odon is from Antalya, do you know?

The last Sultan...

...Giyaseddin I conquered it.

The heretics got united and started a crusade in Anatolia.

This was the second campaign.

Part of the army came all the way here.

Those who came toward here were killed by warriors...

...and the next group wanted go over the Taurus Mountains...

...to reach Antalya.

But when you say a crusade army...

...think of it like a whole town moving.

It moves, then that big town stops for the night.

Well, you need bread for so many men...

...you need food.

What can the heretics do? They’ll demand it from the people.

Do you know Elmali?

Of course you do, you do.

Elmali is very creative.

I’ll tell that story some other time.

This crusade army settles in Elmali and plunders it so much that...

...even the Romans whom they came to save started to rebel.

They united with the Turks.

They wanted to be with the oppressed, rather than with the oppressor.

There came a time...

...when Romans started to fight with the crusaders.

The crusader heretics were bewildered.

They started calling those rebel Romans traitors.

So it can be said that they were more upset for the said treachery...

...of the Romans than the sword of the Turks.

Then...

...crusader army surrendered in Elmali.

Elmali townsfolk decided to give a helping hand to these incapable and...

...hungry soldiers.

Because...

...even if the devil is asking for mercy...

...you should not hit them.

They did the same thing...

...and showed compassion.

It is said that...

...three thousand of them settled near Elmali and became Muslims.

When the priest sees this result, Priest Odon...

...cries his heart out, when he hears about the crusaders turning to Islam.

Compassion being crueler than treachery.

Yes!

These things have many sides, Chagri Efendi.

You look and it’s done.

You look and it’s dead.

You look, it’s a friend...

...you look, it’s a post.

Compassion being crueler than treachery.

Person should have compassion first.

You can’t have a religion without compassion.

What were they going to do?

Were they going to kill those who begged for mercy?

Sword and shield in the field of battle...

...compassion in the field of truth.

Those who are Muslims by heart know that...

...there’s no power bigger than compassion.

Don’t kill...

...make it happen.

There are many reasons to kill.

You kill for a cause, kill for a friend...

...kill for a post.

Kill and kill.

Make it happen...

...do for a cause.

Do for a friend...

...do for a post.

How?

Compassion being crueler than treachery.

Let alone for mankind, how can you look without compassion to...

...the ant walking on the ground, the bird flying in the sky?

If you lose compassion...

...the dragons stick their heads out.

They fill the empty cups.

Don’t they, Ali Taygu Efendi...

...what do you say?

They do, my sheikh.

If you don’t fill it up with compassion...

...they’ll fill it up with arrogance, greed and passion.

Some from the greed of a friend...

...some from the greed of a post.

Well...

...we talked enough.

Now let’s...

...listen our God.

Father Reciter.

Your turn.

I'd like to give you a new duty, Yunus.

I thought a lot about it and you are the only one who can do this in the lodge.

From now on...

...you’ll recite the “I don’t know” invocation.

Whatever someone asks...

...say “I don’t know.”

Whomever asks for your opinion about something...

...say “I don’t know.” Never forget it.

Invocation is mandatory for a follower...

from now on “I don’t know” invocation is mandatory for you.

Have a good night, Yunus Efendi.

You too...

...Kasim Efendi.

May I come in?

Come on in.

I’m glad you are better.

Fellows are smiling...

...but they worry as well.

Naturally.

So I wanted to come and ask how you are, if you were not sleeping.

Yunus Efendi should know himself best.

Whatever we say can only be a guess.

Do you have time?

Can we talk a bit?

I don’t know.
