Philosophy love of the land of Java

Talk of love , of course would imagine something mellow - jello or even romance - cheesy . As is written in the Symposium of Plato soulmate : two souls are separated , then reunited if it will feel ... perfect . Ironically , the story of the Plato -inspired ravings aristophane while being drunk .

But love is not always melancholy and romantic . Erich Fromm , a philosophers , even think love can liberate humanity from alienation . As long as humans make love as a productive : it has protection , responsibility , respect , and knowledge .

Mumed right? It's more fun if it does not talk about love philosophically . It seems like a lot to agree if the love is more beautiful when it is told . Moreover, Indonesia also has many interesting stories about the source of love , especially those derived from the Old Javanese .

However , do not make a man love forever blind . Some love stories Javanese society teaches that love is not just about love exalts itself. Yes , love is not just about the taste , but also sacrifice and dharma . And , of course , it requires awareness hearts and minds . Like one of the stories contained in the following Kamandaka Tantri .

Once upon a time , there was a king named Angling Dharma , which prevents a dragon daughter of misconduct . For the offense, by the dragon king Angling Dharma is given the ability to speak the language of animals . However , the deal is its ability Angling Dharma should keep it , or he will die . Angling Dharma was menyanggupinya .

One time , when she was making out with his queen , Angling Dharma hear a lizard female greeting : " Ah , I 'd love to be treated tenderly as Goddess Mayawati obtained . I do not like being left in a desolate own husband . "

Hearing that , Angling Dharma just smiled . When looking at her smiling , Mayawati curious . Then she asked him . However , Angling Dharma silent , not answer the curiosity of Mayawati . Stabbed a million curious , Goddess Mayawati continued to insist , however Angling Dharma remain silent , because he will die , according to the terms which the king dragon .

Until then , curious Goddess Mayawati turns into emotion . He then said, " All right, then servant rather die . "

Angling Dharma replied , " Well in that case . String together a kiln . If I tell you , it's just going to make me die . Later I will tell where we will burn together . So we die together . "

The guards then prepare the kiln . When on stage , Angling Dharma hear chatter pair of goats .

Goat said , " Ayaang , get me a yellow coconut near the kiln , doonk . "

But then the goat replied . " You think what ? Do not you see that place full of guards who carry guns ? Do you want me to disemblih ? "

Goat then whine , "If ayang not granted , I would rather die alone deeech . "

Angrily , the male then answered . " If you want to die , die ! I would not like the stupid king . Only to fulfill the wishes of his wife , he chose to die . Differences with me , would love kek , kek also would hate me up ... weve pikirin ! "

After hearing the words of goats , Angling Dharma was realized , then left the stage kiln . He decided not to pass the request as soon as it's beloved queen . However , Angling Dharma is king , and a king's dharma is to its people , not only to his wife .

Well tuh .... Strikes also , do not you, what you have written Javanese society . Apparently, love is a source of inspiration that can be used as a lesson in life . The coming of love can indeed produce a result millions . Start of rivalry that led to the war ; until about struggle and sacrifice .

No matter how love can make a blind man , but as taught Javanese manuscripts : is not love that should be honored . But dharma to love the one who should be fought . As Erich Fromm said , it needs a productive human being is love : having protection , responsibility , respect , and knowledge .

NGELMU KYAI PETRUK

In contrast to Western philosophy , which is rooted in Greek philosophy ( Socrates et al . ) , Javanese philosophy can not be bothered to try to find what would ' smallest element of a substance that can not be further subdivided the form of an object ' . For the Javanese all it is the business and occupation ' Sing Ngecet Lombok ' . Not the duty of human thought . If Plato after a careful thought finally have confidence that : there is a perfect horse in nature being eternal blue - print of the horses there and we see now , it is for the Javanese : the important thing is how to properly care for a horse . And to become a skilled charioteer gig we did not need to know ' whether there is truly a perfect horse in the eternal nature ' .

Javanese philosophy talk about things that are simple, yet very basic and profound . Javanese people do not want to worry about whether the earth is round or oval , but the important thing is how humans maintain harmony ( harmony ) with the universe , and even more so with his neighbor : ' uripku wrote nganti duwe mungsuh ' . Javanese philosophy teaches that life is simple , and observed that riches are not providing essential happiness : ' sugih durung happy frivolous , frivolous durung ora duwe hard ' . However people should work : ' urip kudu gawe greet ' , and knowing its place in any society . Java Man believes that every person has its own place : ' cheek padha cheeks , buttocks padha buttocks ' . This ancient wisdom even in tune with modern management science which teaches that each individual must choose a profession that fits with his character . After finding a suitable professions , we should focus on the field , because if we do not focus finally resolved none of the work : ' Urip iku wong pindha njajan . Kabeh ora can dipangan . Miliha braids can sing . '

Here is the complete citation pitutur sublime one that is often asked ki dalang in wayang kulit performances through Petruk figures :
NGELMU KYAI PETRUK

Swarga durung weruh
Neraka durung wanuh
Mung donya sing aku weruh
Uripku aja nganti duwe mungsuh

Ribang bumi ribang nyawa
Ana beja ana cilaka
Ana urip ana mati.
Precil mijet wohing ranti
Seneng mesti susah
Susah mesti seneng
Aja seneng nek duwe
Aja susah nek ora duwe.

Senenge saklentheng susahe sarendheng
Susah jebule seneng
Seneng jebule susah
Sugih durung karuan seneng
Ora duwe durung karuan susah
Susah seneng ora bisa disawang
Bisane mung dirasakake dhewe.

Kapiran kapirun sapi ora nuntun
Urip aja mung nenuwun
Yen sapimu masuk angin tambanana
Jamune ulekan lombok, bawang uyah lan kecap
Wetenge wedhakana parutan jahe
Urip kudu nyambut gawe

Pipi ngempong bokong
Iki dhapur sampurnaning wong
Yen ngelak ngombea
Yen ngelih mangana
Yen kesel ngasoa
Yen ngantuk turua.
Pipi padha pipi Bokong padha bokong
Pipi dudu bokong.

Onde-onde jemblem bakwan
Urip iku pindha wong njajan
Kabeh ora bisa dipangan
Miliha sing bisa kepangan
Mula elinga dhandhanggulane jajan

Pipis kopyor sanggupira
lunga ngaji Le ngaji nyang be jadah
Gedang goreng iku rewange
Kepethuk si alu-alu
Nunggang dangglem nyengkelit lopis
Utusane tuwan jenang
Arso mbedhah ing mendhut
Rame nggennya bandayudha
Silih ungkih tan ana ngalah sawiji
Patinira kecucuran

Ki Daruna Ni Daruni
Wis ya, aku bali menyang giri
Aku iki Kyai Petruk ratuning merapi
Lho ratu kok kadi pak tani?

Children's game philosophy

Still remember when we were little toys and light fitting is usually done this month ? Some children come into play , one child sitting on his stomach like a kneeling position and closed his eyes while the other children sat around it and then hand the children in the position of looking up waiting for their turn a pebble later one will fall in the hands of a child . While rotating the rock kids sing this song :

Cublak-cublak suweng
Suwenge ting gelenter
Mambu ketundung gudhel
Pak gempo lirak-lirik
Sopo ngguyu ndelekakhe

Sir-sir pong dele kopong
Sir-sir pong dele kopong
Sir-sir pong dele kopong

Finished singing the song, the boy woke up face down and asked to guess who is grasping the stone TSB .

The child who guessed wrong on his stomach when he will be asked to face down again in the next phase of the game .

This game must have been a long time we have left . But without us knowing until we are adults , we are still doing the 'game ' is . In everyday life . Children's games that are familiar to the Java community turned out to contain a lot of meaning and teaching of life from childhood . It is said ( he said ) the game was originally introduced by Sunan giri

What exactly is the meaning of this little boy dolanan ? From the lyrics of the song when the Indonesian figuratively or less like this :

This game does teach about the treasure quest in life . From the lyrics of the song " cublak - cublak Suweng " ... Suweng means ornaments in the ears , is more valuable than the earrings ... synonymous with wealth . Can mean c'mon " Guess place to store treasures "

" Suwenge gelenter ting " means wealth spread everywhere . This is also evident in his game where children hide gravel ( likened Suweng ) then circulated from one hand to the other ( " suwenge gelenter ting " )

" Mambu ketundung gudhel " means tainted smell , ketundung the intended meaning , whereas calves gudhel means .... why calves , not buffalo ? Calves synonymous with stupidity because the child is still tangible , aka immature yet know nothing . Broadly speaking, the news about the property is easily wafted spread by fools .

" Pak gempo lirak-lirik " Pak Gempo glancing look . Mr. Gempo described as the opposite of that is still tangible gudhel child . So using the prefix ' Sir ' . Pak Gempo is a human figure that has grown up and trying to find treasure , Suweng TSB . Mr. Gempo manifested as a rational human being , different from the ' gudhel ' the only child of animals synonymous with stupidity . Thus considered Mr. Gempo can find treasures TSB . In the game form is a child Pak Gempo bermainan in prostration and eventually he had to guess who they will keep gravel .

" Sopo ngguyu ndelekakhe " Who's laughing definitely hide . In the game we know that other kids are not bound face down on my stomach laughing when children try to guess who is storing gravel .

" Sir-sir pong dele kopong " in the empty conscience . A hint for those who want to find treasure / guess in games that use it to find the culprit conscience .

Can be broadly interpreted the meaning of the song and the game is as follows :

We as human beings are created from the ground . So in the game a child should face down to the ground as if he was prostrate . Not just people who do not know anything . But still there is the desire of human desires as the Prophet Adam was expelled from paradise because of kissing her . Humans have a desire lust treasure , throne and women . In this area of human song still fulfill his desire to find treasure " cublak - cublak Suweng " . However treasures scattered everywhere and everyone would want it . So easily smell the ' odor ' treasures up no knowledgeable person would know , we know that every day there are thieves , pickpockets , criminals who target property . Nowadays the term synonymous with corruption " rats " that same animal or " gudhel " in this song . Mean age was discovered songs and games , has been taught to the people that we should be wary of the dangers of corruption .

And we know the criminals look like, usually they always smile mesem - mesem " sopo ngguyu ndelekakhe " . Look at the looks of the criminals who still grinning despite being summoned KPK . The best way is to look for treasure with a clean conscience . Not influenced lust etc. . With a conscience will be easier to find , do not get lost .

It turns out the game was remarkable meaning that Java is taught Sunan Giri . Walisongo indeed been taught about a journey of human life every day . Every day we look for treasure , a treasure not only can be a wealth of knowledge, position , and satisfy the needs of every human life . This game taught Islam spreaders in Java so it must be based on Islam , to find the treasure must not indulge the passions but everything is back to conscience .

DEVOTIONAL of KI Petruk

Petruk time to be king , many people laughed at him . According to many people , Petruk dadi drama queen is just a dream , reverie people play a subordinate who can not fix things . How could the poor and the ignorant become wealthy and wise king ? There is also that , the play is pasemon ( satire ) about puppy munggah Mbale ( tramp who became rich and delirious ) . Others scoff again , the play is a farce to entertain the poor . And some argue , it is the story of the queen Petruk dadi moral hazard ( accidental ) , in which the poor use opportunistic fashion . they did not understand all the puppets . They think puppets are wadag ( physically ) . "No wonder , if they consider me , little slave and the poor , using the opportunity , berpestaria be king . Petruk dadi lakonnya the queen was not so foolish king , or a little person beraji lakonnya mumpung , but the play mencoke revelation marang subjects ( perching revelation the people themselves ) , "says Petruk
Once upon a time , his master , Abhimanyu sick . Abhimanyu is the mediator , who will inherit Dampar ( throne ) Palasara , founder Astina , to Parikshit , son . Along with the pain , go its third revelation , the revelation Maningrat , which spread the seeds keratuan , Cakraningrat revelation , which maintain its existence as a queen , and the revelation Widayat , which preserve life as queen .

The third revelation was then rested on self Petruk . He was finally able to become the king of the country which he named Lojitengara . He dubbed himself King Wel - Geduwel Beh ! . To staunchly became king , it turns out he needs Dampar kingdom of Astina , Palasara heritage . Petruk commanded both his assistance , Bayutinaya Anoman bead and bead Wisandhanu Wisanggeni , son Arjuna - , to steal the throne Palasara .

The two envoys took home the throne . Wel - geduwel Beh King tried to sit on it . Once seated , he was toppled. He tried again repeatedly . The King finally gave up and gained royal advisers that whispers through so as not toppled , he had to obtain the dolls that can dililing ( seen and cuddled ) . Petruk sent two emissaries returned , Bayutinaya and Wisandhanu to figure doll in question . Without obtaining significant hurdles , second messengers managed to bring the doll that nobody else is ailing Abhimanyu .

When King Wel - Geduwel lap Beh , Abhimanyu healed . And Abhimanyu said , " You can not occupy the throne , if you do not assume I am " . " At that moment I understood , that I was just a servant . And I realized , I would still stay as a servant , I can not possible to sit as king . Task I just assume the king , so that he could occupy his throne . Lord Abhimanyu can sit on the throne king because my lap . So the king can not be a king , if not lap subjects , ordinary people like me , "says Petruk looking at the flat ground in front of him .

First Petruk not know , why these three revelations that his master and left her perch . Now he understood , the actual revelation of just going for a while . He went only to nitik , look who assume people who kedunungan ( infestation ) revelation . Revelation was not home perch . He will descend at the proper infestation , and it's a decent person should be someone who lap Petruk , the people and the subjects of this . So after knowing that Petruklah who took Abhimanyu , revelations and even then stops dripping and three back kapada Abhimanyu .

In front of the flat land , Petruk mind drifted again . He was sad for the death of Abhimanyu in the Bharata Yudha War . Abhimanyu Petruklah are cradling the dead body . Petruk is also a burning corpse Mokshaya Abhimanyu towards nature . " I was just folk . Matter how vile I am, only I can deliver the King towards the perfection of nature . Till to Moksha else , it depends on the subjects of the king . Only the people who can enhance the king's life , even when he is dealing with the afterlife " , Petruk said .

" Indeed, the servant , the people there all the time . While the king was not forever . He reigns only in a certain period . When that time passed , he should go down or perish . While people continue to exist . Proof, I was there at all times . Being a clown- servant who accompanied authorities from time to time , to this day . subjects without wates iku ana , queen might winates kuwi Anane ( the people that there is no limit , while the king was there on a limited basis ) , "says Petruk .

Petruk increasingly realize , who the people are. Just the people who can help authorities to write its history . " So the authorities should appreciate the subject . Authority must make sacrifices for the sake of the subject , not even ngrayah uripe subjects ( loot the people live ) . Kwasa iku ana lelabuhane kudu ( the representative must be willing to sacrifice ) . Authorization was even just a means for lelabuhan , although he still power, he will not be petung ( considered ) by the people . Raja was not king anymore , when it left subjects . Anyone who can lap , so that he could occupy the throne , if not the people ? King who did not lap the people is the king of the koncatan ( left ) revelation , "says Petruk .

But Ki Petruk , why many rulers who do not pay attention to subjects , trampled on and insulted subjects , yet still be able to sit on his throne ? " In a puppet ruler who does not even exist rests with people like me . Dasamuka He was a tyrant . Duryudana He was greedy . Just as there is only one throne Palasara , so there is only one throne folk . Duryudana power , but never succeeded to the throne Palasara . many rulers in power , but they actually are not actual Dampar reigns , namely Dampar these people " , said Petruk .

Petruk suddenly heard , flat land in front of it humming . Getting louder and louder even be humming Panitisastra : first it was a dense forest land which bersinga . Lion says , that he would look after the forest was cleared by the human will . Forest and say , if not kunaungi lion and go from me , surely he will be caught by humans . Finally lion and forest alike perish . Non-forested lions killed humans , forests cleared bersinga not human ....

" The king and the people must wengku - winengku ( each lap ) , embrace - embracing , such as lions and forests , like Abhimanyu and Petruk ," said Ki Petruk Panitisastra humming song .

Female figure in the puppet

If we talk about women's issues will be faithful is not separated from Dewi Sinta is known as a faithful wife as well as fighters . Dare to follow her husband , without any comments she joined her husband left the throne of Ayodya unlawful because of the promise of the law to her husband 's stepmother . His loyalty is tested when Ravana kidnapped for several years , proven to be burned . It's timeless love for the fire burned . Ramayana story may seem " more romantic " than Mahabratha story , where the Rama - Sita made ​​the center of the story , so that the statue of the couple who contrived mostly Rama - Sinta defeated Arjuna that if used as a statue , her partner could be 14 , hehehehehhe . Sita Rama tried to take over the battle of life and death aided by the leadership of Sugriva and Anoman apes . After the win , all of dubious loyalty Sprott , they do not know that God protects Sprott also . Prayer of the faithful wife who only prays every day for her husband would have heard God , why could not touch Sinta Ravana .

Yes , the story of the Ramayana war ended with Sprott after terujinya loyalty through a burning fire . Possible from the story above we then ask , OK lah Shinta faithful woman , but where or when she became the mother warrior ? The answer is after him and Rama , her husband returned to the king in Ayodya . He always fought against " disloyalty image / impurity " against him . Yes , a few years after the golden era to Rama in Ayodya , a coming disaster . Drought , people dying and starving . Wanted to various reasons , until the suspicion of impurity Sprott when Ravana abducted . Finally because of coercion , Rama Sinta throw in a state that contains a . This is where he fought as a mother , raising two twins in order to gain their rights as an heir to the Ayodya . Finally some reason , Sprott clipped off the earth .

Goddess Anggraheni maybe a little story about him . But his loyalty tested when he estimated Arjuna ( Children seizure Millions Miss ) . But at that time was married to Goddess Anggraheni Bambang Ekalaya or Palguna , a small king . Compared with Arjuna , Palguna should lose any . But Goddess Anggraheni remained faithful , he refused to meet with Arjuna , which is increasingly out of line , feel deserve the best the world even though she told me so . But Arjuna main fault is that he considers the " easy " woman. Eventually he got beat by Palguna , which has a tremendous skill in archery , surpassing Arjuna . Palguna is an unofficial student Drona , a prominent champion of the magic though . He learned from the Master statue , the statue presumes to give guidance to him , until he got a ring that allows him Mustika Ampal archery with two thumbs or 6 fingers on one hand . Arjuna is certain to lose .

But Drona promises one thing to Arjuna , Arjuna makes the most powerful figures in archery . Drona eventually cheat Palguna to give Mustika Ampal ring on his thumb . He took the ring which means he died . Oh well ... because student services and the student wishes to be Bagawan eventually he would die . Sukmanya perk to Drestajumena , a royal Senopati Pancala which will kill Drona in Baratha Yudha . Drona gave it to Arjuna gems ring . The demise of the Goddess come Palguna make starch defense . He died two pair. Indeed, we can say judging her story unfair , too won Arjuna . Hehehe ... that's Mahabaratha , any story mesthi Pandavas won and true . But loyalty tested to death by his wife , the temptation of the man who called the universe lelananging lancuring bawana ( Arjuna ) is nothing , compared to join her husband dead .

Sukesi goddess of a woman who may not really " good " when viewed from the point of faithful women or " good " , but certainly he is a warrior 's wife . She was daughter of the king of Lanka , intelligent , beautiful and thirst for knowledge again . He sets high requirements for her future husband , which should be able to beat Jambungmangli uncle and heavier again , can teach science Jendra Hayuning Diyu Literature , an extremely powerful because forbidden science , likened to a giant study it could turn into a man , or a man has no need god again . Danaraja , Lokapala king asked his father , Wisrawa , a primary and a receipt for the powerful memboyongkan Sukesi . Wisrawa can beat Jambungmangli , well when he taught the science of Literature Jendra , the world shakes , the god of panic , the natural world and heaven fuss kayak would be a tsunami . Come down and Goddess Guru Bathara Umi , into the body of the sage and Sukesi , there was a teacher-student relationship that turned into a husband-wife relationship . Yes , that's a mistake Sukesi drunk to forget science degree as a woman , or a mistake that still drunk Wisrawa cute face . Not only that , Ravana or Dasamuka born man who only works to satisfy his lust , magic and can not die because it has Pancasona . Then the birth is also Sapakenaka , giant woman who also lived for his lust . But whether the story would end there ?

Wisrawa are men of skill when it figures , Sukesi is a beautiful princess , intelligent and virtuous . The birth of two giant likened them by swinging the slide evidence tunable lust . But as time goes by they realize and improve themselves . Kumbakarna third child was born , a good man but unfortunately his form giant , just a pity " too irresolute to the truth " . New at fourth child was born Wibisana Gunawan , one that will bring in the golden era of Lanka , in peace and prosperity with the help of Rama .

This story is often described as the process of human beings to improve themselves . Depictions of children Wisrawa - Sukesi ranging from giant figure insolence , until a handsome knight is a depiction of the struggle Sukesi to get a good kid , and improve themselves . Hehehehhe .. just a story . When viewed from the story Wibisana Kumbhakarna and Gunawan in response to a war against Rama would be more exciting again . Kumbakarna chose to defend the State against Rama , override the values ​​of truth , even though she was trying to remind his brother . Gunawan Wibisana with crossing into camp Rama , select " truth " set aside your relationship and ground - water . To be sure , the story Kumbakarna difficult to enter heaven because of doubts about the truth .

Supraba Goddess is one of the seven angels who were assigned tempting when Arjuna meditated in the mountains Indrakila , before getting Pasopati of Bethara Indra . Yes , one of the high quality of his agent of the Gods . The flashy nymphs despite its name , is still " only " as a sweetener wayang story , hehehhehe .. Finally with arrows Pasopati Arjuna managed to defeat one enemy god Supraba assisted by an angel of the elite , and will get the Goddess Supraba as wife . What Supraba answer ? He refused , and protested the decision . He is the only angel who refused dedicated to human heroes . Indeed they ( Arjuna - Supraba ) became husband and wife , but the story is not so . Love grew out of a relationship of equals of men and women , rather than men " love " women . During this beautiful angel is just the name alone , as bad luck , guns can choose which is best for her story . Yes , Arjuna could receive . Although few moments later , she was officially apply and be Supraba their spouses .

The story above is just a handful of women within wayang story addition to thousands of stories of struggle of the figure whose name , woman or mother . Beloved figure , not only because one of them is us , our mother , our sister , but because it is they who make the world go round .

PHILOSOPHY SONG Hairless hoes

Song of Java was created in 1400 - late by Sunan Kalidjaga and his friends were still teenagers and have that in a philosophical sense and very noble .

Plonthos bald head without hair is . Head is a symbol of honor , the glory of man . Hair is the crowning symbol of the beauty of the head . Then bare meaning without a crown of honor .

While the hoe was a hoe is a tool made ​​of a farmer rectangular steel plate . Hoe is the epitome of servant alit most of whom are farmers .

Bald hoe means that a true leader is not one who is crowned but she is a carrier for a hoe hoe , seek prosperity for its people .

Javanese people say hoe is papat kang ucul four loose means that : the glory of a person will depend on four things: how to use the eyes , nose , ears and mouth .
① eyes are used to see the difficulties of the people .
② ears are used to hearing the advice and the suffering of the people
③ The nose is used to smell fragrances goodness .
④ mouth used to speak fair .

If four it off , then it must let loose his honor .

Gembelengan means : large head , arrogant , indifferent and their own wishes in using his honor .

GUNDUL2 PACUL means someone loses his head sdh 4 senses the resulting attitude change so
GEMBELENGAN own wishes .
NYUNGGI2 WAKUL KUL means upholding wakul basket or baskets of rice is the place , where in the welfare of the people or places mean to uphold the mandate of the people always . while ,

WAKUL NGGLIMPANG basket means , the mandate can not be sustained fall
SEGANE DADI SAK LATAR sia2 means rice so messy , can not be beneficial to the welfare of the people

Nyunggi nyunggi wakul.....kul,
gembelengan...

Hoe ( sharp part to cultivate agricultural land ) , Bawak ( circle where stem doran ) , and Doran ( dowel for the handle hoe ) .

According to Sunan Kalidjaga Kanjeng sermon , a complete hoe , will not be able to stand on their own . The third part must be united to be used by farmers . What exactly is the meaning of the hoe , and Doran Bawak it ?

Hoe . Means " ngipatake item appears kang " means , get rid of mendugul parts or parts that are not flat . Of the hoe tool can at least be interpreted that we human beings have always done well in getting rid of properties that are not flat , such as excessive ego , quick-tempered , selfish and ugly traits we say more ' uneven ' .

The third part of the hoe can not be separated . When combined , the three have meaning , humans should be able to get rid of his vices , endeavors to seek sustenance GUSTI GOD and do not forget to always pray and worship GOD GUSTI . Are not we now know that the object has a hoe was a high value of philosophy ?

Adigang Adigung Adiguna

Nation of Indonesia , including Javanese , is known to have delicate sensibilities , as well as a high tolerance . That's why they do not like arrogant people . Namely , the proud, arrogant , haughty , arrogant , self-respect and tend to underestimate excess ( degrading ) the other person . In Java , arrogant considered a bad trait ( not commendable ) , and should be avoided because it will be a serious disruption to the community and the environment

In the view of the Java community , the proud have properties as unen unen - ( proverb ) , which reads : ' adigang adigung Adiguna ' . That is, the properties boast in strength , power , and skill possessed . Adigang , is a picture of a deer character who boasts tremendous power flight . Adigung is the arrogance of the nobility , descent , nobility , rank , position , or power possessed . Elephant is like a big and barely challenged by the other animals . Adiguna while boasting cleverness ( ingenuity ) like a snake that has the character of a lethal poison bite .

This proverb warns that excess often makes a person arrogant , forgetting self , so bad for the people concerned and others . Examples deer . No matter how fast his run too often overtaken by a lion or tiger , and if it is so his fate will be the only meal of the forest king . In the children's story is told also how big elephant was defeated by ants bite your foot to slip in the gap , or when the legs of the elephant pierced by a thorn . Meanwhile, the much-feared killer snake that was going to suffocate , broken bones , if the thug branches ( branches ) ori bamboo ( Bambusa arundinaceae ) .

Thus , the advantages of a person is something that is " useful " and " dangerous " . Useful if harnessed for the good , treacherous if only used for personal satisfaction and encouragement sheer lust . For example , sharp objects such as knives , sickles, machetes , and so forth . A sharp knife so it should be easy for slicing meat or vegetables when cooking . However , if used carelessly can hurt your fingers . Moreover , because of the sharp , strong , and pointy , a kitchen knife can also be misused to kill people .

As usual strategy in Javanese culture , generally every maxim does not stand alone and is often associated with other proverbs . For example , adigang - adigung - Adiguna had a close correlation with the vanity in the context of advising " wrote dumeh " . Meaning : do not be pretentious or just because .

Free translation is not like to show off and use what they have to hit , belittle , or insult others . For example : aja dumeh sugih ( not just because he is rich ) , and used his fortune to act arbitrarily . Why is that , because the property was not sustainable and can disappear at any time ( no longer owned ) . Aja dumeh kuwasa ( not just because he is in power when an officer / leader ) then do as they wish themselves . Why is that , because if people do not like again led in question can be removed from his office .

In Java, there is a belief that all humans have just deposited God . Thus ownership and even then is mortal . Without Countenance ( permission ) of God , might not have them concerned . In addition, the wealth of one's own reality also obtained the services ( delivery ) of others. For example , where traders may profit and abundant wealth without doing transactions with the public ? Based on the above opinion , this proverb advises anyone snobs do not have a nature .

Just because the rich refuse menyedekahkan part of his property to the poor . So just because the leader does not want to work together with neighbors . According to Javanese tradition , such an attitude is very disgraceful and hurtful to others. Thus , by combining the above two proverbs possible payload messages delivered dimudah will be parsed , in addition to the stronger power breakdown also entered the consciousness of thought , feeling , and heartstrings .

For example , the advice would be: " Aja dumeh SEKTI mandraguna pour duwe rich character Adiguna ula . Ora ketang wisane bath , nanging kesabet branches will pring ori wae bathang selawase dadi . " ( Free translation : " Just because magic then like a snake character . Though usually lethal , but hit just gebuk bamboo branches ori carcass will be forever . " ) .

Arrogant people can be analogized as a deer crossed in front of a crowd of a lion or tiger in the jungle , an elephant who accidentally trample anthill prickly shrub or bush , a snake that has been intentionally or not go to the home page of people in the township . Maybe once or twice survived . However , for all time so that pride will definitely be a stumbling block that makes him fell forward and kissed the earth can not bounce back ?

Essence Suro month at Java Community

Suro month as the beginning of the year , for the Java community is considered sacred months , because it is considered a holy month , month to reflect , meditate , introspect , draw closer to the divine.
How that is done is usually referred to as behavior , which control the passions with a willing heart to attain happiness hereafter world .

But if you look closely, the essence of the tradition in the month of Suro undertaken by the Java community is an attempt to find his true identity in order to always remain vigilant eling lan . Eling means should be aware of who he is
and from where sangkan paraning dumadi ' origin ' , his position as a creature of God , his duty as a human being on earth caliph both for oneself and others.


Alert , meaning must remain careful , awake , and aware of the temptations that are misleading . Because the truth is that temptation can keep away from the Creator , so as to distance themselves reach manunggaling gusti subjects ' unity and divine beings ' .

Such belief is still widely believed and embraced by most of the Java community . But modern society often views these . Suro is associated with shirk and kemusrikan understand . Such presumption arising due to lack of understanding of most people's deep meaning behind it .

It's a problem when looking at the manifestation of the act . In Sura lot of people do certain rituals as a means of introspection usually many do . There is a behavior in a way that does nenepi ' meditation for self reflection ' in sacred places such as on top of the mountain , waterfront , tombs , caves , old trees , and some are doing by way of lek - Lekan ' vigil until morning ' .

From the religious point of view , this is clearly a form of ritual syncretism . However , if we ever see these rituals within the meaning contained in it ?
Java community has awareness macrocosm . Justified in this realization that God created life in the universe covers a wide range of physical dimensions ( wadag ) and metaphysical ( supernatural ) . Two worlds interact . The interaction between the dimensions of the physical universe is a metaphysical dimension complementary interactions manifest harmony and harmony of the universe .

In addition there is another consciousness awareness macrocosm , the microcosm of consciousness . Humans are part of the microcosm . Humans as part of the microcosm has a major role in balancing the macrocosm as endowed with human reason .

Awareness of the macrocosm bring another awareness that humans are not all in the presence of the Most High , and compared to other creatures . Humans should not just because he claimed himself as the most perfect and noble creature , just as mind - budinya . Reason is a double-edged knife . On the one hand , man can attain the fullness because of his intellect . On the other hand , people can get lost as well as their minds .

Based on the two- dimensional awareness , Javanese tradition has a principle of life that is important to maintain the balance and sustainability of the universe in order to maintain the natural preservation of all time . Preserve nature embodies the highest human gratitude to Sang Hyang Murbeng dumadi .

The perspective makes the Java community has unique traditions compared with Indonesian society in general . As part of the macrocosm , human beings have a responsibility to maintain the balance of the cosmos .
The balance of the cosmos is not only limited to what can be seen by the naked human eye . Kosmos has two dimensions , namely mortal / wadag or physical , and environmental dimensions of supernatural or metaphysical .
Inner sensitivity is the key to understand and comprehend the metaphysical dimension .

Is a natural harmony of human ideals . To reach natural harmony that is , most Javanese do certain rituals . Often the wrong pass judgment because just look at the extent of the
visible and provide an assessment according to the norms or values ​​espoused . And if we want to get into it , we will find that over and above the value of our own faith . Ritual is made ​​is the crystallization of human consciousness will balance the cosmos . In rituals that were made , the values ​​contained incredible depth .

First , the basic beliefs would Sang Hyang Murbeng Universe . In carrying out the ritual , the human heart remains firm in the belief that God is all single , and still believe that God Almighty be the sole determinant of nature . Ancient Javanese people who pass those values ​​to the present course has its own vocabulary to refer to God . Although the ancient Javanese society does not have the word of God , but they have a belief in the power of outside themselves who have absolute power over human life .

Second , the value of philosophy . Rituals that were made during the month of Sura is a symbol of awareness of the macrocosm that is horizontal , ie, the human appreciation of nature . Realized that the universe is the source
human livelihood . Therefore , the cosmos must be maintained for the survival of the next generation of life or our children down . Nature conservation is the most valuable legacy for future generations . It is this value that is increasingly faded . Exploited in such a way that disrupted the natural balance : flash floods , landslides , and a variety of natural events that indicate disruption of cosmic harmony .

In Sura various ritual is a form of harmonious interaction between people and all the elements of the universe . Also realized that the man lives in the world is in the midst of the physical universe environment and metaphysical universe .

The second dimension of the universe are adjacent to each other , and the situation is very complex . Man and all God's creatures should maintain harmony in the neighboring , equally for life as God's creatures . Conversely , if the neighbor relations ( with nature ) are not in harmony , will result in destructive circumstances and detrimental to all parties . Then it should be interwoven harmony to any time should still be maintained .

There is a sublime and noble values ​​in the various forms of ritual made ​​during the month of Sura . Javanese new year invites us to ponder about the role of the human being to carry the word of the Universe Sang Hyang Murbeng to maintain the balance of nature . Natural order should be maintained for the sake of human survival itself.

Two Major Threat in Doctrine Kejawen

In the Javanese teachings , there are two major forms of the underlying threat awareness posture ( eling lan alert ) , because it can destroy the principles of humanity , namely ; hawanepsu and disinterested . Humans should be able to dampen the passions or desires babahan up sanga . Ie control its appetites arising from the nine elements contained in man , and his unconditional release .

In the perspective of the rules of Java , the passions are feeling rough because thwart human self-control , imprison , and blind to the world physically and spiritually . Lust will weaken human waste as a source of inner strengths without any good . Furthermore , according to the rules of Java appetite will be more dangerous because the mind is able to shut . So people who indulge lust no longer obey their minds ( morality ) . Thus human beings can not develop subtle aspects , people increasingly threatening environment , conflict , tension , and damage ketrentaman destabilizing nationality


lusts

The passions ( lauwamah , anger , supiyah ) are expressed in the form of the acronym kejawen , namely the so-called M5 or malima ; opium , Madon , thieves , manganese , play ; drunkenness , womanizing , stealing , eating , gambling . To dampen appetite malima , Java man doing asceticism or " fasting " . Eg asceticism , tapa ngrame , mendhem tapa , tapa ngeli .

Asceticism ; attitude that one's actions always hold / fast passions derived from the five senses . Poor savage lust that lauwamah , anger , supiyah .

Tapa ngrame ; was a viable character for help , help others but " quiet " in the puppet strings attached lust butuhe dewe .

Tapa mendhem ; was buried lust ripple , arrogant , pompous , ostentatious , self-interest . All the vices buried deep , including " bury " good deeds we have done to others , of our own minds memories . Holy men are those who do not remember anymore what good deeds that have been done on others , on the contrary always remember all the evil that ever does.

Ngeli tapa , which immerse yourself into the flow " stream flow Essence " , which follow the will of the Supreme Wisesa Gusti . " The flow of water " belongs to God , is like a river of water flowing down the river , to the rhythm of nature , curves and winding river , which is a form of language " wisdom " of nature . Then people will come to the estuary or ocean kabegjan luck . In contrast to the " water flow " bah , which will end up fulfilling the desires of lust woe , because the flood hit wewaler etiquette rules , slammed " fishing boat " , hit " trees " , and destroy the " mainland " .


profit

     A threat to the two strings attached to humans . Act as selfless means only the interests of the selfish self . Self-interest , ignoring the interests of others and the community . Sociologically , it messes strings attached ( chaos ) because his actions did not ignore social harmony environment. Self-interest will also destroy the self from within , kerana absolutely selfless favor their own ego ( Freud called it ; ego ) . Therefore , self-interest will limit myself or isolate themselves from the source of inner strength . In Java glasses , selfless derived from bodily lust will overcome lust sukmani ( mutmainah ) are sacred . Strings attached priority to worldly interests , thus man bound himself to the outside world so that humans no longer able to concentrate the mind in itself . Therefore also , selfless become prohibitive factor for a person to achieve " oneness " gusti subjects .

     Self-interest is like, not every one is able to identify . Sometimes people can easily interpret the strings attached , but unconsciously trapped by a subjective perspective that departs from their self-interest to justify his actions . It is important to point out Sabdalangit strings attached forms are divided into three forms of lust in Javanese perspective :

   1. Lust always wanted to be the first , namely ; lust puppet menange dhewe ; always wanted to own victory .
   2. Lust always considered himself always true ; lust doll benere dhewe .
   3. Lust is always concerned with her ??own needs ; lust doll butuhe dhewe . Such bad behavior is also known as moral hazard . For example mumpung ruling , then corruption , without caring about the fate of others who are oppressed .


To keep the rules of human remains steadfast in maintaining that the sanctity of body and soul , known in Java as the teaching of lakutama , major life behavior . Worship is a form lakutama , as was written by famous poets ( years 1811 to 1880 's) and a successful entrepreneur , a well -known because of the Queen Gung Binatara magic mandraguna , namely Gusti Mangkunegoro Wedhatama IV in the book ( the Vedas = behavior , main = all ) put forward a coherent systematic and orderly from the low to the highest level , namely chess worship ; worship raga , your worship , spirit worship , worship taste . This is similar to chess worship nafsul mutmainah ( Islam ) that is used to achieve ma'rifatullah , nggayuh Jumbuhing Gusti servant . If a person can live in a coherent chess obeisance to achieve the highest worship , surely everyone will get a great gift to man linuwih , thanks to the generosity of the Supreme Lord of Love , not depending on what religion .

The loudest was a clash with foreign theology , because it is accompanied by the presence of a new confidence -building measures suggest that Javanese culture was despicable , shameful , low- dignity , even locally referred to as pagan beliefs , so it had to be abandoned even by his own master , and should be replaced with " new trust " which is considered the most precious things . Naively trust recruit new followers with certainty to heaven . The movement is very effective because it is done systematically received support from a foreign political forces who were fighting in the country .

It is the same with Islam was considered a bad example by displaying sadistic acts of terrorism , religious ministers of corruption , cheating veiled officials , clerics who knocked santrinya , etc. .

 Not stopping there, the foreign forces continue to discredit people by manipulating Java or turn back the past history . Local knowledge proofs destroyed , so that many of the manuscripts containing the teachings of manners , rules , nations noble character ( Java ) Indonesia ancient era before sainthood came , then the earth was scorched by the "newcomers " are . Java vocabulary also experienced colonialism , the terms of which must have Java meaning wise , noble , wise , and then deflected meaning according to subjective interests and perspectives tailored to the interests of "newcomers " who do not like the " local wisdom " . As a result ; terms such as ; kejawen , occult , mystical , superstitious meaning degraded , and negative connotation . The terms " in - same - meaning - it " with sin and bans religious dogma ; example ; polytheism , tuhon tuhon , slave demon , devil worship , and so on .

Emblem and symbol also means figuratively natural language as a form of Java man believed to be the will of God cue . Java man will feel closer to God when prayer is not just spoken in the mouth alone ( NATO : not action talk only) , but with manifested in the form of cone , etc. offerings as a symbol of unity of determination . Then Java man in prayer determination involves four elements namely heart , mind , speech , and action . Traditional ceremonies as a form of concern for the environment , good for the environment and the human communities that coexist occult societies , in order to align and harmony in manembah hello to God . For Java man , every gratitude and prayer must be expressed in terms of real action ( ihtiyar ) as a form of grit and determination that is believed to make a prayer answered.

Unspoken but efficacious

PRAYER IS A PROJECTION OF OUR DEEDS ,
WE THE PEOPLE CHARITY KINDNESS TO PRAYER
Unspoken efficacious .

This simple phrase is the key to understand the mystery of the power of prayer, prayer is like a mirror ! ! Our prayer will come true or not depends on the good deeds we have done for others . In other words, granted or failure of our prayers is a reflection of the good deeds we have done to others . If we consciously or not often injure someone then prayer for salvation will be in vain . Conversely , people who have always helped and helping others , kindness is a " prayer " all the time , life always gets ease and obtain salvation . We love and willingly donate our wealth to help the people who are right to be assisted . Further look at what will happen to us , such windfalls are endless ! The more charity , will be the more our fortune . Even before we say a prayer , God has fulfilled anything we expected . That's a sign , that our good deeds and charity for others , will be the unspoken prayer , but it really is efficacious . Like magic without magic . Do something nice for someone else , it actually acts as a prayer for our own .

In Java, there is a spiritual traditions such formula :
1 . Who likes to help and help others , then he will always have easy .
2 . Who has compassion on others , then he will be loved fellow anyway .
3 . Who likes to harm others , then his life would be wretched .
4 . Who is underestimating others like it will be underestimated a lot of people .
5 . Who likes to berate and make fun of other people , then it would be a despicable man .
6 . Anyone who likes to blame other people , is actually a weak person .
7 . Who planted " trees " goodness then he will reap the fruit of kindness .

All of that is a small sample , that the deeds we do is for our own prayer . Prayer is like a mirror , which will reveal a true picture of what we are doing . Often we see people who have power in prayer , and that strength lies in consistency in his actions . In addition , there is the power of prayer in our own sincerity . Once again this sincerity is closely related to a neutral stance in prayer , meaning we do not drive or dictate to God .

The following is a " formula " in order that we are more careful in evaluating ourselves ;
1 . Do not ever hope against hope we receive ( gift ) , if we are reluctant to give .
2 . Do not ever hope against hope will survive , if we often make others wretched .
3 . - Please do not ever expect an abundance of possessions , if we are less concerned for others .
4 . - Please do not ever expect a big advantage , if we always calculate profit and loss in the charity .
5 . Do not ever hope against hope achieve noble life , if we liked to insult others .
Five " formula " above are just some examples . Please dear readers identify themselves further formulas , which is certainly not limited in number .

resume
Prayer will have strength ( efficacious ) , provided that we are able to combine the above four elements namely : heart , speech , thought , and deed real . On condition we did not act contrary to the contents of the prayer . On the other hand we do good deeds for others will be efficacious prayer all the time , just if , we do it with sincerity . Level with our sincerity in the morning when " discard food waste " meaningless .

Tak Terucap Namun mustajab

DOA MERUPAKAN PROYEKSI PERBUATAN KITA,

AMAL KEBAIKAN KITA PADA SESAMA MENJADI DOA

TAK TERUCAP YANG MUSTAJAB.

     Kalimat sederhana ini merupakan kata kunci memahami misteri kekuatan doa;  doa adalah seumpama cermin !! Doa kita akan terkabul atau tidak  tergantung dari amal kebaikan yang pernah kita lakukan terhadap sesama. Dengan kata lain terkabul atau gagalnya doa-doa kita merupakan cerminan akan amal kebaikan yang pernah kita lakukan pada orang lain. Jika kita secara sadar atau tidak sering mencelakai orang lain maka doa mohon keselamatan akan sia-sia. Sebaliknya, orang yang selalu menolong dan membantu sesama, kebaikannya sudah menjadi “doa” sepanjang waktu, hidupnya selalu mendapat kemudahan dan mendapat keselamatan. Kita gemar dan ikhlas mendermakan harta kita untuk membantu orang-orang yang memang tepat untuk dibantu. Selanjutnya cermati apa yang akan terjadi pada diri kita, rejeki seperti tidak ada habisnya! Semakin banyak beramal, akan semakin banyak pula rejeki kita. Bahkan sebelum kita mengucap doa, Tuhan sudah memenuhi apa-apa yang kita harapkan. Itulah pertanda, bahwa perbuatan dan amal kebaikan kita pada sesama, akan menjadi doa yang tak terucap, tetapi sungguh yang mustajab.  Ibarat sakti tanpa kesaktian. Kita berbuat baik pada orang lain, sesungguhnya perbuatan itu seperti doa untuk kita sendiri.

Dalam tradisi spiritual Jawa terdapat suatu rumus misalnya :

1. Siapa gemar membantu dan menolong orang lain, maka ia akan  selalu mendapatkan kemudahan.

2. Siapa yang memiliki sikap welas asih pada sesama, maka ia akan disayang sesama pula.

3. Siapa suka mencelakai sesama, maka hidupnya akan celaka.

4. Siapa suka meremehkan sesama maka ia akan diremehkan banyak orang.

5. Siapa gemar mencaci dan mengolok orang lain, maka ia akan menjadi orang hina.

6. Siapa yang gemar menyalahkan orang lain, sesungguhnya ialah orang lemah.

7. Siapa menanam “pohon” kebaikan maka ia akan menuai buah kebaikan itu.

Semua itu merupakan contoh kecil, bahwa perbuatan yang kita lakukan merupakan doa untuk kita sendiri. Doa ibarat cermin, yang akan menampakkan gambaran asli atas apa yang kita lakukan. Sering kita saksikan orang-orang yang memiliki kekuatan dalam berdoa,  dan kekuatan itu terletak pada konsistensi dalam perbuatannya. Selain itu, kekuatan doa ada pada ketulusan kita sendiri. Sekali lagi ketulusan ini berkaitan erat dengan sikap netral dalam doa, artinya kita tidak menyetir atau mendikte Tuhan.

Berikut ini merupakan “rumus” agar supaya kita lebih cermat dalam mengevaluasi diri kita sendiri;

1. Jangan pernah berharap-harap kita menerima (anugrah), apabila kita enggan dalam memberi.
2. Jangan pernah berharap-harap akan selamat, apabila kita sering membuat orang lain celaka.
3. Jangan pernah berharap-harap mendapat limpahan harta, apabila kita kurang peduli terhadap sesama.
4. Jangan pernah berharap-harap mendapat keuntungan besar, apabila kita selalu menghitung untung rugi dalam bersedekah.
5. Jangan pernah berharap-harap meraih hidup mulia, apabila kita gemar menghina sesama.

Lima “rumus” di atas hanya sebagian contoh. Silahkan para pembaca yang budiman mengidentifikasi sendiri rumus-rumus selanjutnya, yang tentunya tiada terbatas jumlahnya.

Resume

Doa akan memiliki kekuatan (mustajab), asalkan kita mampu memadukan empat unsur di atas yakni : hati, ucapan, pikiran, dan perbuatan nyata. Dengan syarat perbuatan kita tidak bertentangan dengan isi doa. Di lain sisi amal kebaikan yang kita lakukan pada sesama akan menjadi doa mustajab sepanjang waktu, hanya jika, kita melakukannya dengan ketulusan. Setingkat dengan ketulusan kita di pagi hari saat “membuang ampas makanan” tak berarti.
