Brothers and sisters, although Bapak has frequently given clarifications about our worship of God through the way of worship or latihan kejiwaan ( spiritual training ) called Subud, that is, Susila Budhi Dharma, which we regularly follow and receive, Bapak still needs to explain further, so that you can all feel the use and reality of what you have been doing.

Kejiwaan means the behavior of the jiwa ( soul ), which is really the content of our self, of the human self. What kind of content? Which content? The content of everything that is within us; the content of the constituents of our self, which are a heart, a thinking mind, and desires. The desires, the heart and the thinking mind are the constituents of our self. Besides those there are other ( physical ) things, such as the blood and so on, but those are not constituents ( of our self ). The constituents of our self are the desires, the heart and the thinking mind. But the soul is deeper than these.

For this reason, many people who study spiritual matters with their thinking mind, their heart and desires, are unable to find what the soul really is. In general, people think the soul is like what Bapak just mentioned, like the desires, the heart and the thinking. That is why people who are insane, whose brain or thinking is sick, are said to be sakitjiwa ( literally: to have a sick soul ). But this is not so. That is not a sickness of the soul. In England, for example, they do not say a person has a sick soul, they say a person is mentally ill. 'Mental' refers to the brain, not to the soul.

People suppose that someone who has a high rank, or who is very wealthy, or a nobleman of high descent, for example, would have a high, noble, great soul. Not so. It is not certain that a person of high rank or a nobleman has a high, noble soul. No one, save God, knows what kind of soul a human being has within him. For this cannot be known by the thinking mind or by the desires, let alone seen by the eyes, heard by the ears, or touched by the hands.

Therefore, for us in Subud to find it, to know our soul, the soul within each of us, we have to worship God. We have to obey God's orders. We have to have absolute faith in God, and let go, surrender and give up our desires, our heart and our thinking. For it is these, our thinking and our desires, that are the cover, the screen, the obstruction, which prevent us from being able to meet and know our real soul, the true human soul that existed before we obtained this coarse physical structure of our body.

We need to have faith in God, to surrender and let go, so that our desires, heart and thinking mind do not work and have no power any more. Because with the ceasing of the activity of the thinking and desires, the veil of our heart and thinking mind will open, so we can understand our life, and also our soul, which that is really the mainstay, the foundation and the basis of our life, both in this world and in the hereafter.

Clearly, the soul is not of one kind with the thinking, the heart and the desires, so it is not easy for us to conceptualize it with our thinking and desires. Bapak does not find fault with you, brothers and sisters, because you are accustomed to using your heart and thinking, and so your heart and thinking will certainly try to conceptualize it. But Bapak advises you not to, because however much you try you will not succeed. This is because our desires, our thinking mind and our heart are by nature coarse - different from the soul.

The human soul is called nur in Islam - that is, the light of life that envelops our chest where our heart is located. If one day you can receive well, you will be able to feel and receive, 'My soul is not only within me. It also envelops me.'

So, in the tariq ( Arab.: mystical orders ), especially among Javanese mystics, they say: kodhok hangemuli lenge. This means, The frog blankets its hole? In the case of all of you, before your soul was able to act and to work, ( it was like ) the frog, which is always inside its hole. Now, because we have the opportunity, through our thinking and our desires becoming powerless, and through God's grace that is given to humankind, the frog - which used to be in its hole - is finally able to come out croaking, 'king-kong-king-kong'.

This symbol can be taken to mean, as Bapak said just now, that once you have progressed and received a lot, you will be able to feel that your soul envelops you within your self. And the potential of the human soul is not limited to that. It not only envelops one's self, it envelops the self of humanity. So it's not just I. For the self of man is a symbol of this earth, so it also envelops this earth. It is therefore said to unfold or to spread out.

A soul that has become spread out and big will work by itself, and will of itself envelop everything, so that there are no boundaries between human beings.

For example, if your soul has grown big and wide, not only those who know you and those who have seen you, but even those who only know your name will feel close to you, as if you were their own brother. You have what people call an influence, a force. But in fact it's not that. A soul that has grown big will of itself envelop everyone; so that those who are your friends as well as those who are not, those who are of your nationality as well as those who are not, will consider you closer than a cousin.

Bapak experienced an example of this himself when he was abroad. Bapak had been told beforehand that people there are very difficult and look down on us and our nation. Indeed it is so. For one can say that only now is our nation progressing, and only now is it becoming known. So they consider that we are still like children and look down on us. But what happened to Bapak was completely unexpected. Bapak is not finding fault with the people of Asia or criticizing the brothers and sisters here. Not at all. It's just that the people there are not normally ( so loving ), and this time they were. That is why Bapak considers it more significant than in your case. Many of them even told Bapak, 'Bapak, you are a foreigner, an Indonesian. I am from here, but I feel as if Bapak is like my father, more than my own father. So when Bapak goes away it's as if a half or three quarters of my self has gone.'

If you consider it, it's impossible that there should be such a bond of love, from heart to heart, after only running into each other over twenty days. A bond of affection can connect one heart to another, but usually after years and years of going around together, seeing films together, sleeping together, and so on. Only then love develops. But not in Bapak's case. I only met them during the latihan. After the latihan, they went that way and I went this way. So how could it be? Because of the soul! Because God gave His grace, because Allah gave His blessing to His human being.

Bapak is not claiming he is obedient, ( but ) God will give to a human being who is obedient and has faith in Him, in like measure. So if you want God to love you, you should love God. If you do not love God, if you do not have faith in God, and if you are not sincere and do not surrender to Him, how will God be ( towards you )? God will give to a human being in accordance with what he has within him. That is just. God will not give to someone who does not want to be given anything. God gives to whoever is willing to be given something and is able to receive it.

It's the same as if you help someone who deserves it and who is able to use the help. If you help someone who is unable to use that help, you won't be thanked for it. You will very likely get thumped. As the ( Javanese ) proverb says: 'Help someone and you won't get help in return, but a blow with a stick.' It's your own fault, just giving for the sake of giving.

They say a person has a good character if he loves others and is willing to give. True. But it can also be bad if in giving you are not careful and don't know what the result will be, or where it will lead. In this God has given us an example. God gives to us humans if we are able to receive and use His gift in a way that will benefit us and bring us nobility and well-being. In the same way it would be wrong if God were to give just for the sake of giving, and people were to receive and use His gift in a way that does not lead to their well-being.

Many of the people who go off and practice asceticism, in mountains and other places, claim to have received a revelation from God. But, as soon as they finish with their ascetic practices they become necromancers or even like to kill people. In Surabaya, they call it nyantet ( Jav.: black magic ). That is not a gift from God, but a gift from the Devil, a gift from the satanic world.

So it is clear that whatever people do that is good and brings them well-being, and can become a good example for others and for society, is a gift from God. This is why we train and practice in the latihan so that our soul may become a perfect, truly human soul. For we did not know, nor did we understand the reality before we knew this ( latihan ). So we are able to know it because we are given to know it by God. In Bapak's experience, there is no guide who is true except Allah, praise be to Him, the Most High. This fits the sense of the Muslim confession of faith: ashhadu al-la ilaha illa-llah ( Arab. ) - there is none you worship, none you believe, none you surrender your whole self to, save Allah, praise be to Him, the Most High.

Certainly we do not know the real content of our self before we are given the knowledge by God. ( Whatever it is, ) it looks just the same. I appear the same, whether my inner content is material or vegetable, or animal, or human. I can walk and I can think just the same. It's like a lamp - if you fill it with castor oil, it lights up. Fill it with kerosene, it lights up. Fill it with gasoline, it lights up. If it is fitted with electricity, it lights up. But what sort of light does it give? They all light up, but if it is filled with castor oil, or, say, if our content is material, our behavior will not be good. So we can only check it, we can only know it, after the event. Then we can study it or improve it - providing that it's not a one time occurrence where once it has happened, it's finished and we cannot do it over.

For example, supposing I strike someone. The blow has already landed. From this - from the fact that I have struck someone - it is clear that I do not have a good soul. It is a material soul, or maybe an animal soul. Just like a goat that always wants to butt something.

But now I have already hit someone, berouw komt te laat ( Dutch: regret comes too late ) - it's too late. Don't let that happen. If we worship God we are warned before we take action. If we remember only after we have done something, it's too late. That's all right if the thing that is too late is something unimportant, but if you've already put a pistol in your mouth, it's too late. It's done. The rice has become porridge. 'How could I have done that?' Don't let that happen.

We are training to be able to receive a gift from God. So whatever happens to us, whatever we do, should lead to well-being, happiness and goodness. This is mentioned in Islam. Islam is clearly a religion of well-being; a religion of people who worship. Indeed Islam is a bridge between human beings and God. What is the meaning of Islam? Pure. Thus purity is a bridge between humanity and God. That's in the name. But don't think that having been given the name means you have already received the bridge. Not yet. We have to demonstrate it. We have to put it into practice.

The content of the human self cannot easily be known before God shows us. For even if the content, which is called soul or spirit, is the lowest, it became our content before our desires and thinking existed. How then can our thinking mind know it? It cannot, for the thinking mind is in fact the outer skin ( of this content ). So it cannot and will not be able to know it. Because we are weak, we ( need to ) worship God, we ( need to ) surrender to God. God will teach us. God will guide us. So we will be guided in our whole being. Will we be able to understand then? Why not? Later on, when Bapak has finished talking, he will give you some proof by testing with all of you.

Bapak will describe to you why it is difficult for us to know ( our content ). Before you knew where you were you all found that you had legs. Before you knew where you were you found that you had hands, you had ears and so on. Also, before you knew where you were you found that you had desires, a heart, a thinking mind and knowledge. So of course you had no other means for knowing something. Whether that something is deep or not, whether it is supernatural or not, you cannot dispense with these things you found you had from the beginning, meaning all of this ( gesture ) - the desires, the thinking and the heart. You cannot put all that aside. Because no matter what you do, no matter how small, even reciting suluk ( Javanese mystical phrases ), it requires you to think, to ponder and weigh up using your heart and thinking. This is a prerequisite for humans to know things in their life here. God knows this.

It is difficult for us to know our human soul, because in giving to human beings, God waits until they are powerless. Usually, someone who is powerless is dead. But once one is dead it's too late. So what we are doing is that before we die, we are training ourselves to experience death. And the meaning of death is that the desires and the thinking and the heart do not work. So if sometimes when you are in a state of quietness, you have a feeling you are going to die, do not be afraid. If you are afraid, it means your heart is making you afraid. Do not be afraid.

In telling you not to be afraid is Bapak urging you to be reckless? Oh no! Bapak does not tell people to be reckless. No. Bapak is not teaching you to be reckless. Not being afraid means you truly have faith in the greatness of the One God. So that's good, isn't it?

If you are just a little bit afraid, it means your faith is less. If you are more afraid, it is still less; still more afraid, your faith is even less than that - like maybe about half. So you can gauge it for yourself, you can see for yourself, 'If I am still scared like this, I must lack faith.'

So when they say that a Muslim is someone who has faith in the One God, in reality that's very hard. Professor Dr. Halepota said recently, 'In the Quran it says, Pak, that a Muslim must have the courage to go to war and must have the courage to die.' True. But not to die arbitrarily! Not to go into battle casually, just for the sake of bravado! You might as well hang yourself- is that how a Muslim behaves?

So, having the courage to go to war does not mean being tough and using force, like, 'We're off to war, a real war!' No. Having the courage to die does not mean dying recklessly. No. It is an expression that shows a person is really obedient and believes in the existence of God and God's power. This is what is called sabilullah ( Arab.: the path of Allah ) and is necessary.

So don't hum and ha over every little thing - don't do that. If you hum and ha, you get sick. Just see, children, if you feel a little unwell, and then you start asking yourself, 'Oh, what's this?' and 'Oh, what' that?' you feel more and more sick and wrap yourself more and more in a blanket. Yes, you end up wrapped up, with a fever. Really! But if you don't ( make a fuss ), there's nothing wrong with you. To give another example. In general, people are still very much influenced by material things. We could check this, but Bapak can't do it yet because the instrument for that is not yet available.

But let us say you find money, a hundred thousand, on the table. Oh! Your sickness is gone! That's clear.

'It's gone?'

'Yes, Pak. It's very strange!'

You see, children, that's the power of matter. Yes. In general you are still under its influence. But really it should be the other way round. It is not matter, but only God who can give us life and success. So we should feel that God is greater than a hundred thousand ( rupiahs ). Then nothing will bother you. And if something is amiss, it's nothing, because it's all in God's hands.

Just now Bapak is saying this in front of you all. It could be God's will that when Bapak goes home after saying this, he dies. If indeed God willed it, Bapak would just surrender. If indeed God wills it, what am I to do? But if God does not will it, even if there were a tiger roaring outside, it would not matter. I would be safe. Somehow it would pass me by, roaring or whatever.

This is also symbolized in some stories. When the prophet - who was it? Moses, or someone - was put in the tigers' den, Pharaoh thought he must die. He was put into a den full of ravenous tigers. They had not been fed for a week. Surely they would eat him. But when he was let down into the den, as he descended:

'Only Allah is Almighty. I worship nothing other than Allah.'

Allah was before him. The tigers were not aware of him. All they could sense was that God, Allah, had come there.

'R-o-o-o-a-r!'

'What's up with those tigers?' Pharaoh was angry with his prime minister. 'You lied to me. These are tame tigers. They don't like to eat raw meat any more.'

'No. They really are wild.'

'Then let's put you in!'

They ate the prime minister and yet the Pharaoh still didn't believe, in spite of this experience.

The heart makes everything so difficult, children, really. It is very difficult to make the human heart, desires and thinking submit, regardless of whether one is stupid or clever. It is quite difficult for someone who is stupid - how much harder for someone who is clever. What does it mean, 'harder for someone who is clever'? If he is told something, he debates it. He is told again, he debates again. It never ends. He just wants to debate. You could debate with him every night and it wouldn't finish. What does he expect to get at the end of the debate? If he doesn't want to stop debating, how can he get to it? So there is no other way than ( to turn ) to God. This is why it is told in the hadith ( Arab.: Muslim traditions ), 'Before God, you will see nothing other than God.' The meaning of this is that God envelops ( everything ). So the heart and mind of a person who has been given to know God are filled with God's power.

Well, now we are beginning to be trained in this. Of course, children, Bapak is not finding fault, because everything, every step, takes time. Nothing happens at once. Nothing is completed at once. Yes, little by little. Little by little is necessary for you all. Because God knows that human beings, all of you, are not yet strong and cannot yet receive it all.

The proof of this is, for example, that you have only just begun to receive a little, but already you sometimes cry for help. How could it not hurt? Take your hand, for example. You hand is dirty. Oh, if the dirt is on the outside it's enough to wash it with soap. But it is dirty inside. It is the blood that is dirty. There are different kinds of blood and they are all dirty. Dirty means.., yes, dirty. That is being cleaned. Of course, when you clean something dirty, it requires friction, it requires a change of state. Even when a dirty cloth is being cleaned, at the very least it is beaten by the laundry man.

Supposing it is not a cloth, but it's you, how would you feel? If you were wrung and twisted, how would you feel? If you are being wrung out, there's nothing you can do, right? There you are. When you are being cleaned, it's just like that. You are wrung out by one who can do the job, right? Well, of course it hurts. So if you feel unwell, it doesn't mean that you are getting ill - rather, it is willed that you become clean.

'By feeling unwell, Pak?'

'Yes, of course. How is it when you clean dirty linen? It's only different in kind, is it not? But it's basically the same.'

This is within you, children. When it penetrates your heart or your mind, it is even more extraordinary. Sometimes, for no apparent reason, your heart feels very troubled. You are extremely upset, 'What am I to do? I feel so shattered!' If you're taken to the movies, you feel distressed. If you wear large ear-rings like this, you feel miserable. If you wear a beautiful diamond bracelet, you still feel bad. You are being purified.

Then later, it gets to your thinking. At night, your thinking goes on and on. You don't feel like sleeping - ah, perhaps if you eat, then on a full stomach - you eat your fill, but you feel worse. It just goes on all night. You turn your pillow over, then turn it over again. It just goes on and on. 'Oh dear, what am I to do?' until you feel exhausted. Children, Bapak has also experienced this. You are not the only ones. Ah, that too is purification. When it has been purified, it is clean, it is different.

Now, why does it go so slowly? Why doesn't it happen all at once? Well, you would not be able to take it if it was all at once. Even after a little bit, you wail and complain. Can you imagine if the whole ( process were put into ) one contract? This contractor is clever. Really.

There is an example of this too in Islam, in the tradition of the ascension ( of Prophet Muhammad ). Muhammad, the chosen one, chosen by God as a guide for humankind, should not need to be cleaned. But still he had to be cleaned, because he was born in this world and so was certainly affected by the dirt and sins of this world. For that reason he had to be purified.

According to the tradition of his ascension, he was cut open. Don't say, 'Wow, that would be nice, to be cut open ( in one go ) like that, Pak.' Well, imagine being cut open in one go. When you are sliced just a little, you whimper and cry for mercy. What if you were completely cut open? And without any ( anaesthetic ) injection! In one go. Rrrrrrrt, just like that! Whereas you, children, have only been through a little so far. Since you are not strong, start with a little bit, just take a little. Not so Prophet Muhammad. The whole of him was opened up in one go and was washed clean.

So there is a precedent. There are precedents that confirm our experience in this Subud latihan of ours. What we receive in the latihan is only God's work, the work of God's power. It is not man's work. Truly, it is an immeasurably great release for those who have received it. Such is God's love for human beings. Such is God's grace to human beings. Such is God's help to human beings. For humans are indeed weak by nature. If it were not for God, there is no way it could happen. So we are cherished and loved by God.

Do not think about this. Direct your thinking towards making a living. If there is such a field of study as profiteering, for example, don't try to apply it in this area - do it in the area of money. If you try to make a profit from this, it won't work.

In this spiritual ( latihan ) we have been given our freedom, so let us not use our thinking to that end. It is God's work. We only receive. However, there are some people who say, 'But I will become passive, Pak, if I only receive. I'm a human being after all.' That's right, but this is towards God. You should not be passive towards material things or towards your own kind, that's different. So it is appropriate for us to be passive towards God, but we may not be passive towards each other, you towards me. Towards the One God we should be passive.

'I don't want ( things ) to be like this!'

'So what are you going to do? You cannot be more than God.'

On the contrary, a human being who is not passive towards God is presumptuous. Isn't that right? He cannot achieve anything. Rather, he falls. So, clearly, we must be passive towards the One God, but not indifferent. Ila'allah, masya'allah ( Arab.: towards Allah, whatever Allah wills ), surrender to the greatness of God.

But do not be passive towards your fellow humans, or you'll lose everything - don't do that, children. 'Excuse me... ' 'Yes?'

'Do you have any money?'

'Yes, I have.'

'Please give it to me!' 'Eh! Now it's all gone!' That's not allowed.

Such are the secrets of life, which always exist in our lives and which you will get to understand. And you will obtain a gift from God so you can understand the changes of content which occur within your being. Through God's power we can change and we can feel what is true within us. So it's not something that is unreal. It is real.

But of course reality is different in different areas. This is real and logical in the realm of the spirit, logical in the eyes of God, or from the point of view of God's greatness and power. But it is not logical from the viewpoint of the thinking, the heart and desires. Indeed, seen from the point of view of the thinking mind, the heart and desires, this is something that is illogical, because it cannot be adjusted to the human way of thinking. This is really not something that needs to be thought about or that can be known by human thought, save through the One God. So there are two kinds of reality. One is free of the thinking mind. The other can be acquired and realized by the thinking mind. If the thinking mind wants to unite these two kinds of reality it will never succeed.

There are several prominent philosophers in Subud - Bapak met them in Germany and Switzerland. They said that Dr. Jung is one, a very distinguished philosopher who can be said to be worshipped by Europeans, not just the Germans. But when he spoke briefly with Mr. Bissing, Mr. Bissing was able to understand.

'It's as if ( what he says ) is all hanging in mid-air,' he said. 'What do you think, Pak?'

'Yes, it's all hanging - like bats. Don't worry about it!'

Then in the end it was he ( Jung ) who said, 'I do not wish to meet with Pak Subuh yet, because I am thinking about atomic energy.'

Yes, that's fine, if that's where his logic takes him. But for Bapak that's not logical. That is not Bapak's expertise.

t was Mr. Bennett s idea that Bapak should go there and talk with Jung. ( He said ) that if he could defeat Jung, Bapak's name would become known all over the world.

Bapak said: 'Bapak is not looking for that. No. What would be the benefit of defeating Dr Jung? What good would it do? It's only about scoring points. But what about God? That is the question! God does not want that people should compete to be right. No. So what then? I don't need anything. What do I need to be introduced to Jung for? Jung cannot bring Bapak before God. No one can -unless God Himself takes Bapak no one else can. If I went to Jung, it would mean that Jung would be a second God, yes, a God number two. So what is it to me?'

It didn't come about. However, the number two person came, who, they said, is also worshipped - Ikhsan knows; isn't that true? -Professor Dr. Durkheim. So he is the second most worshipped man of Europe. He came to Bapak. Bapak opened him and he understood for the first time, 'Ah, this is it. Oh, this is not easy. It cannot be thought about by human beings. This is really what people are looking for. Nothing else. Only what about the intellectuals?'

'Yes, that's their problem. Their problem is their intellect.'

So the reality of Subud, the latihan that all of you have received, cannot be thought about. Bapak advises you, especially those of you who are new: do not think about what you receive in this latihan the way people study something. For this is not a study. It is not a teaching, it is a receiving. There are precedents. The advice of Jesus is now believed by millions of people, throughout Europe, one can say, and America and in other places. Yet it was the advice and words of someone who never studied. He never sat on a school bench. He never knew a schoolteacher. He was not the son of well-to-do parents. Yet his advice is believed by millions of people. Where did he get that good advice, which was so correct? From God. Because of the purity of his soul, the cleanness of his being. Because of his obedience to God and his faith in God. That is why he said, 'God is my parent, God is my Father.'

That was indeed true. Not that God was the father of a human being. No. It is an expression of the reality. For if you think about it, perhaps there is no one you would obey and submit to more than your parents. That is clear. That is why in the Quran it is said that your mother is the gate of heaven for you, and that heaven is beneath the feet of your mother. But your father has authority over your going to heaven. It's clear, that's how you feel. You wouldn't love anyone more than your parents. Imagine, if your parents were walking and you saw someone strike your father - Aargh! That's how it is. You wouldn't turn away. You couldn't.

In the mystical traditions they say the same thing. The people you pay deepest respect to are your parents. They come ahead of the king. So the king comes second, after your parents. After all, you respect the king because of his rank, isn’t that true? If he didn't have his rank, you would not pay homage to him any more, would you? But if he is about to give you a higher rank, you might pay homage to him many times over. Yes, ten times, because you are promoted. People will always hold on to whatever is advantageous to them.

But ( respect for ) one's parents is mentioned in history. It is a part of tradition and custom. On the Idul Fitri holiday, the first ones we have to pay homage to are our parents.

'Why, I meet them every day - how come that on this day I have to ask their forgiveness for all my sins?'

'Oh yes, and don't harbor any thought of repeating those sins in the future!'

That's how it is in Islam. In other religions also it is like that. So, when in Christianity it is said, 'God is my Father,' it is a symbol of how great was Jesus’ consideration for God, for there is no bond of the heart greater than that between a child and its parents. For of course you can feel, 'I come from them. I exist because of them.'

It is a mistake to interpret Father here as being ( Jesus’ ) real father. If God were his real father, God would have a wife. I don't know how many wives. I have never heard of that and I have not received that God has a wife. I haven't heard of it and I don't know it, because God is Almighty. So it is a symbol, and it means that Jesus’ love for God was greater than for anything else. If Jesus considered God to be his Father, certainly God also considered Jesus to be His son. As Bapak explained earlier, if you love God and have faith and trust in God, God will be the same towards you. But if you are vague or uncertain, God will be the same to you. God will be uncertain in giving to you, 'Oh, it can wait.' He is about to give you something, 'Oh, later'. It's uncertain. So do not have doubts.

In Islam it is also said - supposing you feel, 'Oh, I think I'm being disturbed by a devil.'

'Surely you're not frightened of being disturbed by a devil, are you? There's no need to be afraid. Just recite.'

'You mean, if I recite something, it will go away?'

'Yes.'

'What do I recite?'

'Astaghfiru-llah al'azim ( Arab.: I ask Almighty God for forgiveness ). The devil disappears. Astaghfiru-llah al'azim, it's gone. A 'udhu billahi minash-shaitanir-rajim ( Arab.: I seek refuge with God from the accursed satan ), it's gone. When you say that, the satanic being runs away.'

That is the reality. If we sincerely have faith in the One God, if we really have faith, no devil can get to us. Then why is the devil close? Because you only half believe, or maybe your faith is even very small.

'I am a person who has faith. But I am afraid that - zzapp - a devil will get in.'

What opens the way and opens the door for a devil to come in is none other than one's own heart. That is why the heart, the desires and the thinking are turnkeys for the devils. But don't throw them out, or you won't be able to earn a living. It is necessary for us to earn a living. It is also necessary for us to be close to satanic beings. But we should be able to control them instead of they controlling us. So we govern the money; the money doesn't rule us. If we are ruled by it, it's sad, is it not? A moment ago, you were sick. There is a hundred thousand rupiahs and -Wow! Instantly your muscles become wire and your bones become steel. Indeed.

Bapak would like to add some advice, especially for the brothers and sisters who are new. In receiving the latihan from now on, you should not think about it, or try to figure it out. Don't.

That is indeed as it should be.
