Purpose of testing is to feel the use and benefit of the latihan.

(Ladies’ testing) Bapak is facing your soul (don’t move with your will) so move with your soul. ‘Man’ can’t tell lies to God.

(Ladies’ testing – second group) The meaning of ‘relax’. Movements will spread to feelings and understanding. Two duties in Subud.

(Mens’ testing): Testing will help you to stand on your own feet spiritually.

(Mens’ testing – second group): Importance of being introduced to (awareness of) whole body. It has been written down by Almighty God what the use of every part of your body is.

Benefits and uses of the kejiwaan. Man has been made complete – given everything he needs for this life. The different life forces that exist in the world. The gift we have received. The accumulation of faults, sins and mistakes. Power of God capable of purifying our inner feeling – the latihan brings awareness of this.

Examples of the prophets and holy books. Receive what you need for your life through the latihan – Bapak gives examples. Be useful to society.

The purpose of enterprises. The rich, who have ‘wealth sickness’- constant anxiety, sleepless nights - like the sad Greek heiress, haunted by riches, waiting to die. Make material forces work for us so we are not manipulated by them.
