One of The Ways

 “Even if thousands of Socrates resurrects and have another thousand years of dialectics, still they could not describe this Love."

What I am about to write is something that is corny and shallow when it is not being experienced. It is about one's purpose in life, to find a moment when someone feels complete thoroughly. A moment when life and dead, are no longer the main points of joy and fear. Questions about God are no longer relevant when you experienced Him/Her.

That moment of that experienced named love. It is all one have to experience, to feel the rush that given directly from that transcendent being, and often given separately into the hearts of two human being. Therefore, it will become something astonishing that drive them remarkably crazy to find that other half -I like to understand it as arche1 .

One’s search will stop when they give up. But for me personally, giving up is not a condition of desperateness. Giving up is a condition and a moment when you are ready to let go your self and ego of your search, of your life arche. At first you will numb. But then when you touched the deepest bottom of your heart, alone, giving up, then content you’ll become. As many people said, “Stop looking and you will find,” –a very common line- is something that is hard to understand. It is not a statement of knowing, but a state of experienced.

When one is content and have experienced the love of God, then suddenly the true purpose in one’s life is fulfilled –just like a lot more people have said before. God put his unrecognizable love through everything & everyone, but for some people He/She gave a certain point to make one believe in His/Her love that is real, rather than an abstract literature concept.

At this moment in my life I could say that God, the prima-causa, was not a being that wants us to bow or worship before him. Being humble, receptive and sensitive are some of his many ways to make us experienced him even more. Of course it is different for each person, but in the end we are all swimming into the same sea.
“We could swim together if you want, for the one that made me full and complete is you, a bright star that will lead my way. Let me become the earth that revolving and reloving around you every time, until Horus came and killed it. But until then, just sing “que sera sera,” because what will be always be.”

Refference:
1.    Arche (ἀρχή) is a Greek word with primary senses 'beginning', 'origin' or 'first cause' and 'power', 'sovereignty', 'domination' as extended meanings. 

*I wrote this note when I had a second heart attack in 30th of September 2010, at the age of 24, in campus waiting for Ito to bring me to the emergency room, where I listened to “The Spirit Carries On” by Dream Theater to calm me down.

This is one of my finest day here in Sri Lanka. Meeting some new friends. This is the first time in my life to make  friends with monks. They are all around my age, around 25, some are younger. Spending time with them everyday gives me insight of being a monk. Amazing yet very simple life. Everything make sense when we lead this kind of life. Being not attached to various things in life somehow is a liberation for me. Why we have to cling to something that is subject to decay and death, if we could understand that ourself is subject to decay and death? Something else must be there. Money and material things are subject to decay and death, wife and children are subject to decay and death, fame and glory are subject to decay and death, even religion & philosophy are subject to decay & death. These are not kind of understanding that everything is vain & empty. Just the opposite, where there is an understanding that everything is impermanence then something great are b...

Photo: Mahatma Putra 's Personal Archive The room was black, as black as his past. He sat there alone, in his black Victorian-chair, accompanied only by his books. He had no friends, for he thought there were no one he could speak to, he thought everyone else was dumb and that if he socialize with them, it could lead him away to reach enlightenment. So he locked himself in his black painted office, where he could spoke and listened to Heidegger and Machiavelli -some of his few imaginary friends. They told him -and he believed- that when he had enlightened, his black-painted office would transform itself into a brilliant white box. When someone was too lonely, sometimes there was a voice that one couldn’t differ whether it was real or not. He had been a director in Mayhem-Factory for almost a thousand years. This job was no different than any other job; it had its ups and downs, and maybe this time, right now was the most-down side his job. He mourned a lot, for everything ar...

Seminggu Pertama di Sri Lanka!

Saya benar-benar tidak tahu apa yang saya harapkan ketika pertama kali memutuskan untuk pergi ke Sri Lanka. Tentu saja saya tahu bahwa Sri Lanka adalah negara yang mengadopsi ajaran Buddha Theravada, aliran Buddhisme yang diklaim sebagai aliran tertua di dunia. Foto pertama di Sri Lanka. Bendera dan stupa Buddha bisa ditemui di hampir setiap sudut Kolombo. Itulah akhirnya yang membuat saya memutuskan untuk mengambil kursus singkat Buddhist Studies di Sri Lanka International Buddhist Academy. Walau Tibet terdengar lebih eksotik untuk dijelajahi, Sri Lanka punya akar sejarah yang jauh lebih kuat akan ajaran Buddha mula-mula dibanding negara-negara lain di Asia Selatan. Theravada dibawa masuk dari India ke Sri Lanka pada abad ke 3 Masehi. Awalnya Theravada adalah salah satu cabang dari Hinayana Buddhism, yang sekarang bahkan di India sendiri kini telah punah. Perjalanan saya menuju SIBA (Sri Lanka International Buddhist Academy) dimulai dari Airport Kolombo ke ...
