Subud Books

Subud Publications International

Some of the topics covered are:
Q. 1 – Clarification of which letters Ibu will answer, and why? The giving of names and the wish to know talents. Which of these can the international helpers answer? What will happen in the future about these types of questions asked by the members?
Q. 2 – A passage from one of Bapak’s talks is read out for Ibu to comment on. Each person is at a different stage. So each has different reactions. Why helpers’ groups were set up.
Q. 3 – Why do people leave the latihan? The importance of being patient. The latihan is waiting for that person to reach a quiet state and to quieten their thinking. The importance of meetings with applicants. Obligation of helpers to make sure that new members really receive.
Q. 4 – Do we need to make an effort to share the latihan, is there an obligation? Today, when so many people need to find a way to worship God presents Subud with an opportunity. What kind of initiative? People need something concrete.
Q. 5 – What can be done to become a wider channel? Ibu cannot teach you how to become good international helpers. Subud is Susila Budhi Dharma. If what you feel comes from your soul it will have an impact. How can we demonstrate the truth of our way?
Q. 6 – Members like to criticise other Subud members and this is holding us back. It is the general situation in Subud. We are too influenced by our desires, thoughts and emotions. Doing an enterprise is like doing latihan. The link is the latihan.
Q. 7 – Can Ibu give us some advice? If you are in a state of surrender you won’t feel a burden. Do latihan regularly. Resolve problems by working together. If you don’t, your work will not be satisfactory. Don’t look for ways to make helpers smarter.
