Notebook (Gaster Hebrew MS 2054)

1) The matter that preceded in the objection: disorder in the world is not of one kind.

2) In the year 1315 [1897-1898 CE], on the night of the Eid, an event occurred to a certain person. I do not know when it happened in this world. However, like the habit of the times, it became a hidden thing, and as it spread, it became a disciplined state. When it was mentioned, you said "Allah Pasha," [as if] it had been said. If it were the outcome, you would have known.

3) They say, "There is no relevance in this state," unless the outcome is such that you would say, "I have become from the land of Egypt; I am myself." They told me, "Such an amount and more," and they said, "There are those who will act as an obstacle in the world." I cannot say, I do not know. To prevent such people is a burden on the world. They think about whether such people should be seen. When I mentioned [this], Allah Pasha... Unless corruption continues in the world, what outcome will arise? The outcome is the world. They become acting-governors kaimakam local administrator/deputy, they play games. After [they] did this, they also became an obstacle. It would be necessary if you make a register...

4) These things are in a year of anticipation. The outcome is trouble; that outcome is the source of prevention. If there is no security and peace, it is not something to be expected. I said, "It happens so, it is expected." The rank of this is also so much, but who can be an obstacle to such people in the world? There is no one, I am grateful and [I am] a person without God... but in the world, one must give the outcome in a path. I said, "Is it a lawful outcome, that one could call it complete?" The poor and the priest kahin priest/soothsayer—the outcome—if a group is going to give more food to be eaten, you say "they are going to the world," and they weep while giving away their stone. If they say, "Give it to that poor person," I passed [by]. May the curse of God be upon such people. Even in duty, they should not give the death of its outcome [meaning unclear]. Being prevented from speaking [is not allowed]. In that anticipation, I do not know, [but] in what is present, let us give [it] passage to its outcome.
