Cinta, Peninggian, dan Ritual

Allow me to translate some wisdom I came across:

Ami, sbgmn perjalanan tubuh (bayi, balita, remaja dst), cinta juga bertumbuh. Bagi jiwa biasa, cinta dimulai dg ketertarikan fisik. Begitu ia berlanjut, cinta jenis ini akan diuji oleh berbagai godaan (ketidakcocokan, perbedaan, dll). Bila tekun menahan rasa sakit akibat godaan, cinta akan bertumbuh dlm bentuk pengertian. Dari pengertian mendalam inilah kemudian lahir kesadaran, cinta ada utk membahagiakan orangn yg kita cintai. Dari cinta terakhirl inilah bisa lahir cinta sejati. Ia serupa matahari, bulan purnama, pepohonan, awan, dll. Cinta ada hanya krn cinta. Ia tdk memerlukan alasan, apa lagi pengakuan. That is true love.

Ami, similar to the journey of the body (from the baby, child, teenager, etc), love also grows. For an ordinary soul, love starts with physical attraction. As love carries on, she will encounter innumerable temptations (unsuitability, differences, etc). If one perseveres in enduring the pains of these temptations, love will grow into the form of understanding. Only from this deep understanding a deep awareness will be born, that love exists to make the people we love happy. From this final type of love, genuine love can be born. Genuine love is akin to the sun, full moon, trees, clouds, etc. There is love only because there is love. Love does not need a reason, much less recognition. That is true love.

Dek Ata, merubah kebiasaan lama yg negatif menjadi kebiasaan baru yg positif memang sulit. Tp ada bbrp tips. Pertama, pagari diri dg lingkungan yg mendukung. Kedua, ingatkan diri dg bacaan2 suci. Ketiga, boleh belajar meditasi. Lebih dr itu, perlu tekun, teguh, tdk mudah menyerah. Spt menetesi batu dg air, pd saatnya batunya berlubang. :) w/ compassion

Dek Ata, changing negative old habits into new positive habits is truly not easy. However, there are several tips. Firstly, surround yourself with a supportive environment. Secondly, remind yourself often with readings that are holy. Thirdly, you can learn meditation. Finally, you need to be diligent, to persevere and to not give up easily. Similar to dripping water unto a stone, holes will be formed in time. :) w/ compassion.

Weda Mahendra, ritual memiliki bbbrp wajah. Pertama mistis, ini susah menerangkannya dan berbau rahasia. Kedua kosmologis, menjaga tatanan dunia. Ketiga sosiologis, media orang berkumpul saling menerangi. Keempat pedagogis, sarana mendidik masyarakat krn ada ajaran suci di sana. Dg kata lain, banyak wajah ritual. Sayangnya, di zaman ini wibawa ritual di semua agama menurun sekali. Dan menghadapi tantangan jangka pendek Anda, coba cari jawabannya dlm meditasi Anda. Utk soal sepenting, jangan gegabah. :) w/ compassion

Weda Mahendra, ritual has different faces. Firstly, the mystical, it is difficult to explain this side of rituals as it contains many secrets. Secondly, the cosmological, to guard the order of the world. Thirdly the sociologist, to provide a platform for people to gather and illuminate each other. Fourthly the pedagogical, as the means to educate the society because it contains holy teachings. In other words, there are many faces to the ritual. Sadly, ritual's reputation in today's world has fallen dramatically. And about your short-term challenge, try to look for your answer in your meditation. Don't be reckless for this important issue. :) w/ compassion
