I repeat things in the hope it will add to your understanding and preparation in receiving the latihan kejiwaan – the training of the soul. The essence of life is within your soul.
Bapak’s talks and writings can help you prepare yourself for this way that leads to God. The latihan is a preparation for life in this world and later in the next. The three phases of the latihan. Surrender has to be a reality within our being.
Sukma (finer bodies). The five brothers or sisters. The desires.
The Holy Spirit connects everything that is within us. We have an opportunity, with the latihan, that through the trials we experience in life we can raise up our soul.The latihan is not just a half hour twice a week, experience, it envelops everything. We can hide nothing from God. We have to look to our selves and correct what is wrong. Do not be too easily satisfied.
The difference between soul and sukma.
Once you have experienced your own reality you will never leave Subud. The latihan is the core of every religion. God’s language is one.
By celebrating Bapak’s birth it does not mean we are trying to make a cult of Bapak. On the contrary, it is an expression of respect and gratitude for the gift that Bapak received from God.
