Yunus Emre

Yunus Emre hakkında pek çok şey koyacağım buraya. Bu ilki.

I'll put some Yunus Emre poems here, but I cannot translate the poems. I'll try to translate some other related info though. So, let's start with this one.

Sabahattin Eyüboğlu says the following about Yunus Emre:
"Despite all his religious personality and devotion to Islam, Yunus was not a man from any religion, any sect; he was not even a man of the religion. On the contrary, he was beyond all different religions, mosques, churches, sanctuaries; he was especially against strict religious people. His religion did not have a book, a worship ritual or direction. The only rule, dogma of his belief was love: the widest, limitless, the most humanist love; pure love. When you asked Yunus about his religion, his God, he would say nothing but LOVE, ATTACHMENT, and COMPANIONSHIP."
