The True Victory

 In a number of religions and traditions, humans refer their day of celebration as a day of victory. The Galungan day in the Balinese elders’ version is likewise. As being well recorded in history, there was indeed a victory celebration of the Light against darkness. Though it is still open for further explanation, regarding which outlook of light or which perspective of darkness it refers to. Meanwhile in present-day context, victory has another face, which required another deep level of understanding. Particularly since the nature of human-related sciences are always contextual, being influenced by the development of many things in a certain time cycle.

Beautiful Path of The Soul

 The fast growing economy anywhere does not make all human beings feel well off. Some rich people are even constantly chased by the feeling that something is lacking inside. This energy of feeling shortage can be a positive thing of course. It can encourage someone to work harder, try and learn more passionately. But few realize that the feeling of being lacking inside is similar to termites that can destroy buildings. That’s why, everywhere we can see, although people drive luxury cars, their eyes are looking anxious. Some people are dressed beautifully but are full of anger every day and those who lived in magnificent buildings, often looking uneasy.

God Who Smiled Beautifully

One of God’s most prominent faces in Bali is God as beauty. Pay attention to sanctuaries and ceremonies, all of them brings the scent of beauty. Look at dances, paintings, carvings, all loaded with beauty. The arrangement of rice terraces is built with a taste full of beauty. At the head of the island of Bali, every day dolphins beautifully dance. A number of friends from Jakarta who often visit Bali told us, in Bali there are many things that in other places have become garbage can be processed into beautiful things. Even dry wood that is almost weathered which is washed away at times can be processed into beautiful works of art. So that it is understandable that many tourists visit Bali just to enjoy it’s beauty.

A Prosperous Life Forever

In all levels of life, the presence of an unfortunate person can always be found. Either at the lower, middle, or upper level, we can always find people living a non prosperous life. This feeling of not being prosperous may then lead to various dangerous things. From broken and separated families, mental sickness, until committing suicide. Upon learning from thousands of friends in meditation sessions whose facing tribulation in life, it was obviously seen that prosperity is more related to the inner dynamics of the soul. When someone is experiencing imbalance within, moreover if he is easily burned by anger, even having a large amount of money would never make him feel prosperous. Which then triggers the development of disease within the body, and spread a bad aura to the outside.

Forever Wealthy

 While in developing countries mostly people suffer from shortages, in rich countries humans suffer from excessiveness. From excess sugar, excess food, to excess sedative. Symptoms like this raise the question, when can the human soul be fully rich and then be able to share the Light? This is an old question that has not been found until now. Nevertheless, it never hurts to discuss it again. At least to inspire the public about the limitations of wealth outside, while inviting friends to balance the wealth outside with wealth inside.

Healthy and Luminous Until Old Age

If you measure a fish using the point of view of a bird, or measuring the capabilities of a bird with the extraordinary abilities of a fish, all creatures will then look idiots”, that is one of the legacies of the great physicist, Albert Einstein. The point is that living someone else’s life is very energy-consuming. Sadly, as a result of a long educational process as well as the vast movement of socialization and culturalization, people are unconsciously being formed into becoming someone else. It comes to such a predictable ending, there are so many restless and anxious souls everywhere. A friend, who had a rising career in a large bank told a story about that the headaches he had for years. Upon being asked about his past, it is finally revealed that his parents was failed in becoming a bank officer in the past, then forced him into becoming one.

Stay Healthy and Forever Young

 Such great economic growth does not seem to make people healthier. In economically super-rich countries can be found, the death rate due to excess sugar continues to increase. The suicide rate and divorce rate are also high. The consumption of sleeping pills per capita, as a barometer of the difficulty of people sleeping, is actually higher in super-rich countries. In a growing country there are not many differences. Here and there, there are people who look beautiful on the outside, but very anxious inside. In a village where the population is not too wealthy has its own secret, even though the cost of divorce fines has tripled, the divorce rate continues to rise. Like presenting us a homework, how to balance economic wealth with a wealth of harmony.
