SEPI SUNYI YANG MENERANGI

Ketika seorang guru ditanya evolusi jiwa manusia ratusan tahun terakhir, dengan diam sebentar, menatap mata lalu menjawab, "dari gelap ke gelap". Dari ketidakpuasan satu ke ketidakpuasan lain. Dari konflik satu ke konflik lain.

Melihat kehidupan bergerak begini, sejumlah orang desa yang polos bertanya, mengapa kemajuan iptek harus seperti ini? Maafkanlah keluguan. Andaikan keluguan ini dijawab dengan data, angka, logika, mungkin sinyalemen "dari gelap ke gelap" akan tambah panjang. Angka dilawan angka. Logika mengundang serangan balik logika.

Karena demikian keadaannya, izinkan sekali-sekali bukan angka, bukan logika yang bicara, tetapi sepi sunyi. Tidak dalam posisi menyebut sepi benar, yang berbeda salah. Sekali lagi tidak. Serupa dengan mulut manusia, gigi wujudnya keras karena tugasnya memotong dan menghancurkan. Lidah bentuknya lembut karena panggilan hidupnya bukan untuk menghancurkan, tetapi merasakan. Keduanya punya tugas lain. Dengan spirit seperti inilah, sepi sunyi dalam tulisan ini mohon izin bicara.

Sejak dulu, pencinta sepi selalu tidak banyak. 0rang yang bertapa di kesunyian selalu lebih sedikit dibanding mereka yang mencari di keramaian. Keduanya bertumbuh. 0rang-orang keramaian menyukai bertumbuh ke luar (dengan ukuran kekaguman pujian orang), sedangkan pencinta kesunyian menyukai bertumbuh ke dalam. Kekaguman dan pujian orang dihindari karena penuh godaan ego.

Melihat bulan dengan lampu

Satu contoh yang amat menerangi di jalan sunyi adalah pertapa suci Ramana Maharshi. Sampai umur 16 tahun tidak ada tanda ia akan jadi pertapa. Begitu berkenalan dengan perjalanan ke dalam diri, tiba-tiba badannya panas. Ini membuatnya lari ke Bukit Arunachala. Lebih dari sekadar panasnya menghilang, ia menikmati kesunyian di tempat ini. Bahkan selama puluhan tahun menghabiskan hidup yang sepenuhnya diam.

Saat mengakhiri diamnya, Ramana menjawab pertanyaan orang secara mengagumkan hanya dengan segelintir kata. Dari situ didirikan ashram oleh banyak pengikutnya di sekitar tempat ia bertapa. Tiap kali ditanya siapa gurunya, ia menggeleng sambil bergumam, "The ultimate consciousness is the only teacher" (Kesadaran yang mahautama itulah gurunya).

Serupa dengan ini, di sejumlah perenungan dengan judul agama yang berbeda-beda, banyak murid diminta diam. Awalnya percakapan ke luar menghilang, diganti percakapan ke dalam. Akhirnya percakapan ke dalam pun menghilang. Dan yang tersisa hanya satu, yakni kesadaran. 0rang-orang yang sudah disinari cahaya kesadaran, akan bergumam, untuk melihat bulan tidak memerlukan lampu!

Kata-kata, logika, angka mirip lampu luar. Manusia membutuhkan saat gelap. Namun, dalam terang cahaya kesadaran, manusia tidak memerlukan lampu luar. Salah satu founding father kehidupan spiritual Bali (Dang Hyang Dwijendra) menulis Kakawin Dharma Sunya. Ia bertutur, jika batin yang tenang-seimbang adalah sumber keindahan. Bila sumber keindahan sudah di dalam, masihkah manusia memerlukan lampu penerang dari luar? Dalam bahasa provokatif seorang guru, "When you still have some one who can make you happy or sad, you are not a master, you are a slave!" (Jika sumber kebahagiaan/kesedihan masih dari luar, itu tandanya seseorang belum menjadi master, masih jadi budak).

Apresiasi akan sepi memang bukan monopoli Bali. Lama Surya Das (Awakening the Buddha Within) pernah menulis bahwa puncak perjalanan menemukan perkataan yang benar adalah hening. Eckhart Tolle (Stillness Speaks) juga serupa, "wisdom comes with the ability to be still. Just look and just listen... let stillness direct your words and actions" (Kearifan datang dari keheningan. Lihat dan dengar saja... biar keheningan yang menjadi pembimbing). Thomas Merton (Thoughts in Solitude) menambahkan, "My knowledge of myself in silence... opens out into the silence... of God" (Pengetahuan diri dalam keheningan membuka rangkaian keheningan yang berujung pada Tuhan).

J Krishnamurti (The Light in Oneself) menyarankan, meditation is absolute silence of the mind (meditasi adalah keadaan batin yang sepenuhnya hening). Dainin Katagiri (Returning to Silence) menulis, Shakyamuni is some one who practice tranquil silence (Siapa saja yang mempraktikkan kesempurnaan keheningan, ia menjadi Buddha). Murid-murid Zen yang perjalanannya suka menekuni latihan silent illumination. Penyair sufi Rumi bertumbuh jauh dalam sepi. Perhatikan salah satu syairnya (The Rumi Collections): when you know your own definition, flee from it, that you may attain to the 0ne who cannot be defined (Saat Anda dipagari kata-kata, cepat-cepatlah menjauh. Ia menghalangi mencapai yang Satu yang tidak terucapkan).

Dengan cerita ini, terlihat banyak manusia yang terterangi rapi oleh sepi sunyi. Ia melewati banyak sekat tradisi. Dari Sufi, Nasrani, Buddha, sampai Hindu. Jenis manusia-manusia ini memiliki pola pertumbuhan serupa. Logika dan kata-kata ibarat kulit dan batok kelapa. Di awal manusia membutuhkan. Namun, begitu dikupas dan dibuka, kelapa dimakan, airnya diminum, kulit dan batoknya dibuang.

Mikhail Naimy (The Book of Mirdad) lebih terang lagi. Kata, logika serupa tongkat, berguna bagi mereka yang kakinya bermasalah. Bagi jiwa yang kakinya sehat, tongkat hanya beban. Lebih-lebih jiwa yang bisa terbang, tongkat adalah beban berat.

Kegundahan Kita Akan Masa Depan

Hore,
Hari Baru!
Teman-teman.

Ketika kecil dulu, kita ditanya; `kalau sudah besar, kamu mau jadi apa?' Dan setelah kita besar, kita menanyakan hal yang sama kepada para anak kecil. Namun sebenarnya, orang dewasa seperti kita ini pun masih mengajukan pertanyaan itu kepada diri sendiri. Hanya saja, dia sudah berubah bunyi menjadi; `besok saya akan menjadi apa?'. Mungkin kita merasa sudah memiliki jawaban itu. Mungkin juga tidak. Yang jelas, orang-orang yang rajin merenung tidak pernah berhenti menanyai diri sendiri dengan sejumlah pertanyaan seperti itu. Apakah Anda juga mengalami hal itu?

Seyogyanya, memang pertanyaan-pertanya an itu terus hidup dalam diri kita untuk memastikan bahwa proses pendewasaan diri ini tidak berhenti. Mengapa mesti begitu? Karena, kita percaya bahwa ciri hidup adalah terus berjalannya proses pendewasaan diri. Sehingga, kita tidak terburu-buru mengklaim diri sebagai manusia yang sudah mencapai kedewasaan yang sempurna.

Akan tetapi, kadang-kadang pertanyaan itu lebih beraroma kegundahan daripada berirama perjalanan menuju kedewasaan. Kita sering merasa gundah dengan masa depan. Lantas bertanya-tanya; akan menjadi seperti apakah masa depan kita gerangan? Jika kita seorang karyawan, kita bertanya; "Apa yang akan terjadi setelah saya memasuki masa pensiun nanti?" Bahkan tak jarang pertanyaan itu bergegas menjadi;"Apakah saya bisa lolos dari gelombang PHK ini?"

Para pengusaha dan pekerja mandiri pun tidak kurang gundah. Dan mereka bertanya;"Apakah masih ada peluang bagi usaha saya sepuluh tahun lagi?" Bahkan tak jarang pertanyaan itu bergegas menjadi; "Apakah bulan depan saya masih akan mendapatkan order lagi?".

Pendek kata, semakin jauh kita memandang kedepan, semakin samar gambaran yang bisa kita temukan. Bahkan, dalam situasi yang tidak menentu seperti saat ini; masa depan yang dekat pun menjadi tidak terlampau jelas terlihat.

Sore itu, layar pesawat televisi saya dirubungi begitu banyak semut. Sehingga, gambarnya menjadi tidak kelihatan. Setelah channel dan kabelnya diotak-atik pun semut-semut itu tidak hendak beranjak pergi. Namun, ketika saya melihat keatas genteng, ternyata posisi antenna TV itu sudah bergeser; hingga arahnya berlawanan dengan posisi selama ini. Ajaibnya, ketika arah antenna itu diperbaiki; seketika itu juga para semut elektronik itu kabur menyisakan tampilan layar kaca yang jelas, jernih, lagi bening.

Saya tercenung sejenak dan bertanya dalam hati; mungkinkah masa depan manusia juga memiliki sifat sedemikian? Maksud saya, mungkinkah kita bisa melihat masa depan dengan lebih jernih seperti gambar pada pesawat televisi itu kini? Antenna itu memberi saya inspirasi bahwa masa depan kita juga bisa menjadi lebih cerah dan lebih indah seandainya kita bisa memposisikan antenna diri kita kearah yang tepat. Hari itu, hati saya kembali lega. Karena ternyata; kesuraman gambaran masa depan ini disebabkan karena kita tidak mengarahkan antenna jiwa kita kearah yang tepat. Seandainya kita mengarahkan antenna itu kearah yang seharusnya; mungkin kita bisa terhindar dari gambar samar itu.

Pertanyaannya adalah; perangkat seperti apakah yang bisa kita gunakan untuk menjadi antenna bagi diri kita? Otak dengan daya pikir yang kita milikikah? Mungkin. Sebab, selama ini sudah terbukti otak mampu menyelamatkan kita dari berbagai krisis yang kita hadapi. Otak juga mempunyai kemampuan analisis yang begitu tinggi sehingga kita bisa memprediksi masa depan. Membuat rencana-rencana strategis jangka panjang. Dan, mengkalkulasikan resiko-resiko yang mungkin menghadang selama dalam perjalanan.

Tapi hey, ada banyak bukti sifat destruktif ketika kita terlampau banyak mengandalkan otak. Hitung-hitungan matematis yang dihasilkannya sering melupakan aspek kemanusiaan dan keadilan. Bahkan, tak jarang otak menasihatkan untuk melakukan sesuatu `for whatever it takes…..'. Oleh karena itu, otak tidak terlampau peduli jika tindakan yang kita lakukan merugikan orang lain. Atau melanggar aturan. Atau mengesampingkan nilai-nilai kesusilaan. Kalau begitu, mungkin bukan otak yang bisa menjadi antenna kita.

Lantas apa? Adakah `sesuatu' yang bisa menyeimbangkan kinerja otak dalam diri kita? Mungkin kita ingat bahwa ketika otak mengatakan sesuatu, hati kita berkata; "tunggu dulu, itu bukan tindakan yang baik…." Jika demikian, mungkinkah hati yang bisa menjadi antenna diri kita itu? Yang jelas, kita mendengar bisikan-bisikan suci melalui telinga batin didalam hati. Bukan dengan telinga lahir kita. Sebab, sekalipun semua orang disekeliling kita menasihatkan kebenaran, jika telingan batin kita tertutupi; kita hanya menganggap seruan akan bebajikan sekedar angin lalu. Yang masuk dari telinga kanan, dan keluar lagi melalui telinga kiri. Sebaliknya, sekalipun disekeliling kita berseliweran panggilan-panggilan untuk melakukan beragam kebathilan, namun ketika telinga batin kita difungsikan; kita masih bisa menemukan bisik suci yang menjaga kita untuk tidak tergoda.

Jadi, mungkin memang hatilah yang bisa digunakan untuk menjadi antenna diri itu ya? Sebab, ketika hati kita bisa menangkap gelombang penghiburan yang Tuhan kirimkan, sekujur tubuh kita kemudian bisa terbebas dari segala kegundahan akan masa depan. Lalu perasaan batin kita menjadi tenang. Persis seperti yang pernah dikatakan oleh Sang Utusan; "Wahai para pemilik jiwa yang tenang. Pergilah engkau keranah kasih sayang Tuhan. Maka jadilah engkau hamba-hamba Tuhan. Dan masuklah engkau kedalam tempat terbaik yang telah Tuhan janjikan……" Semoga.

Hore,
Hari Baru!

Stop Killing Yourself

How often do you cancel something that you really want, because the comments of others? And how often people retreat because of the "advice" you? Several times. Maybe often. That "murder" name.

To "assassin" and not as it does not need to enter the prison. But the woes of "killed" will take place throughout hidupya. Chilling? Indeed. Do not mengernyit first it seems massalah others. Perhaps, you also have to "murder" is. Or, you may be already "dead" since the week.

This is the story that has been long outstanding. Spread by Anthony Dio Martin. In the year 1933, is a beride Jerry Siegel created a superhero character. Figure this power stronger than iron, can fly and comes from another planet. Joe Shuster Jerry invites the clever paint to achieve this figure.

But, the super human picture at that time considered to be not interesting. Comics that unremitting behavior, time to run six years. Peak, when they both heard the editor requires Detective Comics comic strip. Full of spirit, both offer their comics.

Detective Comics editor of the works they laugh and say, "Wow, would not have believed the idea that comics like this. Twopenny image and behavior may not be sold." Flogging frustration throughout the six years (not only once that they be ridiculed), making them sell all the comics and the copyright to the value only USD 130. They both believe that their bad comic, it will not conduct, and indeed deserve segitu votes.

Not long after that, they are comic turns behavior so hard and worship to all. Until this day, leaders of the superhero was aired, ditevekan, with no measurable amount of merchandise. Who does not know Superman?

Siegel and Shuster poor living creatures when they are successful leaders. In the year 1975, when the United States pressing public Detective Comics, eventually they both get financial security.

Anthony Dio Martin mentions, what is spoken by Detective Comics to the Siegel and Shuster as a killer statement. Sometimes this statement killer not spoken with the specific purpose, but its impact can make other people (or you) away.

In daily life, we often actually do a series of "murders" of self. Sharp knife is a form of expression (likely) common-usual course, the kejamnya Luarbiasa.

You say: "wow, very difficult ..."
Other people say: "never, forget this finance problem. You certainly difficult, is not it? We speak other problems that make the more comfortable you are."
Sounds very kind person. Expression that makes you really had difficulty with finance problems. In fact, you just have not found the right person, which can be crystal clear with menerangkannya.

You say: "Where might I be ..."
Other people say: "I , you this problem? Later even disorganized, disorderly turvy."
Do not immediately believe the spiel on the matter of your ability. Most know what you can is the self. Replace the words "may not" with "can not". If you are interested in a particular problem, learn it. Let other people "bark".

You say: "I kan, weak in the field ..."
Other people say, "Son why IPS, like astronomy speak problem. You just, more cock ngomongin economy."
Once again, no one shall have the right to determine what is weak in the field. Said History graduate who may know only a matter of history? Not possible, he is also the basic principles of Physics and menyenanginya, eh? So, do not say weak, and do not mengiyakan the alleged weakness of the top people.

You say: "Why do I never can't Reviews?"
Other people say: "You need extra effort can be hard to have a novel. Enggak comfortable writing you read."
Now all the writing. The number of blogs have jutaaan. That is, it is also the author of the virtual world. Certainly more. Are all professional? No. Are all talented? Absolutely no. But, where there is want, there can have.
There is no IM in the world. All necessary process. Today, any posts you may be uncomfortable to read. Memangnya there is no tomorrow? And the day after tomorrow? Kejarlah you dream to be a writer, and make a novel. Make other people staring.

Start today, do not lecehkan another person, let alone themselves. No need to have a "dead" today. Also tomorrow later. Happy to make it big!

Soeharno Lan, who is Sopir now Got Pabrik Aki ???

[Wednesday, 18 March 2009]

Lan Soeharno look very primitive. When found, he was only light blue shirt with a brown cloth trousers. There is no luxury accessories attached at the body. Not impressive at all that he is one of the battery factory owners in the area Rungkut Industry.

Where the home is not gedongan. Although able to buy luxury homes in the area elite, with his wife, male birth incantation Rogo, Banyuwangi, 7 August 1929 that more choose to live in a small old-style house in the Netherlands Praban Kulon. "House bring luck," he said. "In addition, if want to close any. There are shopping malls, markets, and place my daily calisthenics. So lazy to change," augment him.

Financially, Soeharno far short of the word. To achieve that, he confessed a life truly from the bottom. Before founding the factory, he was a driver oplet. "In fact, my father have to buy a business selling textiles. But, I'm not interested to continue the business. Nyopir I am pleased," said father of four children are.

With installments, Soeharno buy a oplet. Thanks to the persistence time in two years, he can buy two vehicles is common. One person runs, one disopiri own.

One day, people have serombongan charter opletnya to go to the night market. On the way, suddenly oplet the strike. Soeharno confused. He is blind concerning the car engine. Are known, the people who charter the rage.

I can not repair itself, Soeharno ago to go to the home mechanic with the gig. Basic apes, a mechanic was less pleased with his arrival in the night is already late. "Montirnya the end I want to get oplet the strike, but while ngamuk-ngamuk. Correct me shit. Dimarahi night person twice," kenangnya.

Above suggestion that a mechanic, esoknya Soeharno aki oplet bring to workshop. In fact, the battery should be replaced new. But, that he can not do. The grandfather of ten grandchildren do not have enough money. "The only way though oplet road again, I must betulkan own," he said.

Soeharno then learn all about the car engine and battery. The self-taught, he adds insight to the reading. The result is not disappointing. Opletnya can run with the battery that is already diperbaikinya.

In the 1956 Soeharno with his wife to move to Surabaya. Metropolis in this business he opened a store spare part of vehicles. Ability mengotak especial aki start to crawl engine. He also purchased two antique cars. Engine both raft with him a new one. "In fact, there are people who are interested to buy. I sell and the money used for business development," said the man who never wander to Jakarta and a tire business in the capital city.

Grandfather started the business assembly built Soeharno in 1970. Initially, he only improve aki-aki bekas acquired from flea markets. Many satisfied customers. So, he presume to follow a tender. Unfortunately, he can not meet the requested target time. Once the deadline, the order of 600 battery assembly, he was only able to complete the 500 units. "No I'm not able to. But, difficult to get the battery empty. Molor opportunity, but also finally met the demand," said he.

Above suggestion a friend, Soeharno then go to Taiwan. There, she learned a lot of battery problems. In 1978 men who love to play the harmonic buy land to build a battery factory. "Time is still the only one in Surabaya. If there are other factory, the only branch of the foreign country," he was emphatic.

Since then his business thrive. 75 percent of man-made battery manufacturer at this time produced for export and 25 percent fill the local market. Battery production has penetrated to some areas, such as Saudi Arabia, Africa, New Zealand, Australia, Fiji Islands, Hong Kong, and Taiwan. "In accordance with the appeal to the president bring in more income, I only focus on exports," he said then smiled. (war / Ayi)

On an evening twenty years ago, there is a youth

With the flag say to the young owner of this restaurant.

A pair of young couple eating house owner, consider this young man

Motivation of The Day: "Who Educate These Children?"

After the wheel too long after I stop in the village of 
briefly in a restaurant. Once the food order, a son 
aged approximately 12 years appear in front of me. 

"Abang want to buy a cake?" He said with a smile. Right hand 
menyelak banana leaves that cover a cake basket jajanannya. 

"No Dik, Abang food is the message," I answered, and finally summary 
he passed away. 

The order arrived, I enjoy them. Is the 20 minutes and then 
I see children earlier about other potential buyers. I see him 
about a pair of husband and wife. They also reject the bid of children, 
and so he passed it. 

"Abang have to eat, did not want me to buy a cake?" tanyanya calm when 
about my table again. 

"Abang new Dik finished eating, I still satisfied," said I, while 
slap repeatedly stomach. He went, but only around the restaurant. 
Until he put in there that are still full bakulnya. Each of 
ago he ask, "I want to buy cakes Bang, Pak ... sister, mother ...." Subtile 
I thought it was cultivated. 

While attention, terbersit admirable, and compassion in my heart 
gigihnya see how he tries. No visible sigh or moan 
signs of despair in himself, even people who ditemuinya 
reluctant to buy kuenya. 

After paying the price of food and drink, I continue to go to the car .. 
I open the door, sit down and fix the doors close. But have not 
I turn on the machine, before the child is standing on the side of the car. He 
smile to me. I down a glass window, and reply 
senyumannya. 

"Abang is satisfied, but may need to take Abang cake I made 
by-by for the brother-sister, mother or father's brother, "he said politely, the 
a smile. Once again he set out with a cake in the basket 
menyelak banana leaf penutupnya. 

Tatap my face, clean and homely. Terpantul feelings of pity in 
heart. So I open the wallet, and pay out money sheet Rp 20.000, -- 
him. 

"Take this Dik! Charity Abang Abang ... No need to buy the cake." I 
said heartfelt feelings of pity for the sudden increase. Son 
receive the money, then thanked running 
back to the sidewalk restaurants. I'm happy to help. . 

After I turn the car engine. I'm back. Would kagetnya 
I see children that extend Rp20.000, - giving it to me 
a blind beggar. I'm surprised, I stop the car, and call 
son. 

"Why Bang, I want to buy a cake?" tanyanya. 

"Why give money Abang younger brother earlier in the beggar? Duit that Abang 
to give younger brother! "I said without a question. 

"Bang, I can not take the money .. Emak angry if he knew I 
sponge. Emak words we must look for work because the living God. 
If he knows I take as much money home, while selling 
many, Mak definitely angry. Mak said beg people not to work 
attempt, I still strongly Bang! "he said as well. I wonder 
at once impressed with the grip of life the child. Without a lot of problems I 
continue to ask how the price of all the cakes in the basket. 

"Abang all want to buy?" he asked and I just nod. Tongue 
I want to say dumb. 

"Rp 25.000, - Bang ...." With joy he entered one by one 
kuenya in plastic, I ulurkan Rp 25.000, -. He said 
thank you and go out of my view. 

Yes Lord!. I can only wonder in the heart, women who 
the high-minded "and" educate the child?. Indeed, I 
impressed with sikapnya. He made me, who we actually ..
