Some of the topics covered are:
The 7th World Congress of people joined together in being able to receive guidance and direction from the One Almighty God. The latihan. Evidence that what is truly from God is beyond the reach and expectation of the heart and mind.
The experiences of the prophets Abraham and Moses. Also the example of Jesus Christ and Muhammad.
You need not and must not despair. This gift from God is first expressed in movements and actions. God did not create human beings in this world just to leave them neglected and for no purpose. We each have a reason to be here. Do not give up easily. What is ‘crisis’? Make use of what you have been given. We are created to be responsible for our own lives.
The Power of God is softer and gentler than the softest breeze. It cannot be measured. Why the latihan now? Spiritual wealth. Why Bapak still needs to talk to you all, when he is an old man.
The tools we need in this life. God lets things grow in accordance with their nature. Why enterprises collapse. Don’t ask God to get you a loan. Don’t imagine the results before you have begun at the beginning. If you work seriously and sincerely at an enterprise, you will not be very far from the Power of God. Do what you are good at. [The right man in the right place]
Try to measure up to the ideals of Susila Budhi Dharma. We must fulfil our obligations.
