Poetry of Beauty

In psychology, it is widely known the analogy of cow in the middle of glassware. It represents the people who are extremely not sensitive. Because of being insensitive, they talk easily, acting easily, but they do not know that they cause a lot of injuries to the others souls.

The result is predictable, not only the other people run away from them, as a matter of time they will feel of being alienated in the mids of the crowd. If they do not learn sensitivity, this type of people will experience a lot of pain and illness.

To make it simple, sensitivity is the fruit of one’s connection with nature and all creations. In the process of being well-connected, most people have a lot of barriers. And among all barriers, the most blocking barrier is the habit to create walls between oneself and the rest of creations.

Beautiful Garden of Soul

Following the explanation of Shiva Tantra part one in Besakih temple, and Shiva Tantra part two in Jati temple at Batur last year, in the beautiful night of Shivaratri on January 8th 2016 at 19:30 Bali time will be explained Shiva Tantra part three in the beautiful temple of Uluwatu.

While the focus of Besakih temple session is Parama Shanti (ultimate peace), the focus of Jati temple session is true home, in Uluwatu the focus is family as the beautiful garden of soul. Especially because in our age family is a well-fertilized garden where souls can grow deeply and beautifully.

There are three women whose marriage with three Balinese men collapsed. The first lady comes from Russia, the second one is Japanese and the last one is from Jakarta. Having listened to their story with full empathy, by then the secrets of how a person should start a family are opened. The point is very simple, one who is dirts within will meet flies even in heaven, one who is flower within will meet butterfly even in hell.

The guiding light then is simple, every young people who want to start a family are advised to start with beautiful heart. That is why the first of Shiva Tantra message that will be delivered in Uluwatu is like this: "look at all beings lovingly". To make it simple, choose a life partner who enable you to look with loving eyes.

The Inner Angel

A young girl whose face was tired and uneasy asked a touching question like this: "my parents was divorced, my house makes me nervous, my school makes me angry, where should I find safe and comfortable shelter for my soul?". 

It is unimaginable how painful the inner soul is, at the teenagers age this young girl must experience such troubling life. And in the midst of burning life like this, it is natural that she tried to look for a comfortable shelter for her soul.

Sadly, in this time and age, there are very few safe and comfortable soul shelter. Do not talk about people who gathered for the purpose of business, even when the holy people gathered for the purpose of sanctitying the soul, the environment is full of disagreement.

Learning from this, the only safe option is to find the beautiful angel within. That is the reason why the deep spiritual journey is often referred as a deep inner journey. It is like finding the inner sanctuary.

Every tradition has their unique way, but on the path of meditation the inner journey is done by maintaining the proper distance to the body, mind and emotion. When someone is successful in maintaining the last distance, by then there is possibility of deep concentration.

Rose of Peace

Spiritual friends who spent a lot of time in solitude, as well as accessing the energy of silence know, there are a lot of contradictions inside ourselves. Right against wrong. Religion against science. Logic against feeling. And there are many other contradictions.

The harder one resist these contradictions, especially when seekers called those contradictions as bad under the name of religion and knowledge, there are more burning fire inside. Some of psychological and spiritual illness are rooted here in the burning contradictions within.

When we dig deeper, these contradictions arise because the materials that make the body, the the mind, the emotion are in contradictions. In the human body there are elements of water and fire. The mind can only work if there is duality such as bad-good, wrong-right, false-true. In the same way, emotions also grow riding the waves like sad-glad, sorrow-joy, ugly-beauty.

That's the reason why every human being who live in the level of body, mind, emotion, their life are full of waves. Their waves of life rise when they are glad, their waves of life fall when they are sad. Whenever they are joyful, they celebrate. In the moment when life is full of sorrow, they thought they are punished.

Beautiful Heart

A number of friends who are entrepreneurs complain that there are many business opportunities actually, but it is very difficult to find people who can be trusted to be able to lead the company. As a result, many business opportunities simply pass solely because of the scarcity of well-trusted people.

This story implicitly bring a simple message, in this age to find clever people is easy. There are abundant supply of clever people everywhere. But when it comes to find person with beautiful heart, there are saddening scarcity everywhere. Especially those who are beautiful in service, beautiful in attitude, beautiful in deeds.

Hearing a story like this, a teenager asks: "what is beautiful heart?". Look deeply inside when you know that your old friends who like to cheat in school later is appointed as professor, if you can smile without envy, that is a seed of beautiful heart.

Meeting The Light

After reading the article "Meeting The True Guru" a young man asked a very touching question like this: "If The True Guru only illuminate souls with abundance accumulation of good karma, then who will illuminate the dark souls who are full of shortcomings?".

To be honest, in each cycle of time there is light. Unfortunately, many people obscure themselves by many clouds. Consequently, they keep thinking that no one illuminate their soul. Similar to the light in nature. During the day there is the sun. During the night there are stars and moon.

In Tantra especially, there are three types of clouds which obscure souls to meet the light. There are external clouds such as body, mind and emotions. There are inner clouds which is known as nadi (energy channels), prana (energy), bindu (the essence). And the last one is the inner most secret clouds which is dualistic fixation.

Meeting The True Guru

It is impossible to see the sun at night. It is also impossible to see the stars in the daytime. In the same way, without the abundant accumulation of merits (good karma), it is impossible to meet the true Guru. For that reason, there is no other choice for the true seekers except to accumulate as many good karma as possible.

That is why religions strongly emphasize the importance of kindness and goodness. Mainly because this abundant accumulation of merits will point out the direction where the true Guru live. There are many spiritual signs that indicating where the true Guru is.

Those who experience weak signs are interested in the true Guru through reading, stories that are shared by many people, or meaningful coincidences. Spiritual seekers who experience medium signs encounter the true Guru because of the strong inner determination, or the strong inner feeling that this is the right time to meet the true Guru.
