Jaka Someh's

Chapter 23. An Enlightenment.

After two years Jaka Someh studied with Ki Thiban, he also intends to continue his journey again. Ki Thiban also, inevitably, gave up the departure of his student. So Jaka Someh left Karuhun hillside and his teacher. He continued to walk east but not until two days suddenly he decided to settle on a hill that captivated his heart.

At first he was walking near the hill, suddenly the sky became dark, but it was still day. Apparently the rain that accompanied the storm came crashing into the region. Wind****** the pickaxe that accompanied the storm also ravaged the region. Many large trees were uprooted, even the roots were uprooted from the ground.

At the time of the incident, Jaka Someh tried to take refuge by laying himself on the weeds on the ground. When the storm had passed, and the sky was clear again, he saw many big trees falling. Only bamboo trees and weeds seemed to survive the storm attack. The incident was also so deep in his mind. He wondered why only bamboo trees and weeds could survive the storm, even though the big trees that looked sturdy actually fell. He continued to think about the reason, trying to find answers to his astonishment. Then Jaka Someh tried to hit the reeds around him, the cross was only moving following the direction of Jaka Someh's punch.

After many times he experimented with hitting the weeds then he compared it to hitting a wooden tree that was quite large,  the result turned out to be still he was unable to knock down the weeds with his punch but managed to knock down a wooden tree that looked stronger than the weeds.

He thought about it for a long time, until he finally concluded that the weeds were flexible and did not fight the storm with his strength but only continued the storm energy that hit him, he said,  while the wooden tree because he was sturdy and stiff then he tried to fight the storm with his strength, but because he was defeated strong then he fell. Ilalang can react when facing the forces of nature that hit it. Violence does not have to be fought with violence, often violence can be conquered by softness. Jaka Someh was happy to find his new philosophy. He also tried to apply his knowledge into his silat. So for a while, he also abandoned his intention to continue traveling because he wanted to train the newly learned silat.

Jaka Someh then settled on the hill while training his silat as well as continuing his pleasure in farming. In the day he practiced his silat on sand or rocks under the scorching sun. The heat is so sticky, but Jaka Someh tried to absorb the heat energy. He was trying to forge himself to be able to survive even in extreme natural conditions.

In contrast to his practice in the harsh and unforgiving past, now he focuses more on his subtle silat moves,  he practiced more breathing and mind concentration and taste. Jaka Someh united himself with the great universe, in heat and cold, rain and drought, in harmony of his motion and breath. That was the fine silat he was practicing. His soul rests on the Almighty.

Jaka Someh realized that he was just like a speck of dust in the vast earth. The power he possesses is nothing compared to the greatness of the creation of the Almighty God. What about who created it? It must be the Great One. Allah Akbar.

He is the One who does not suffer death or damage even for a moment, because He is the Most Eternal Being and does not need offspring to maintain His endurance.

God is the One who covers the entire universe. It is impossible to be called God if He is still of something, precisely God is the substance from which all things come. For He is all come into being, by His will. He is the Creator.

God is the source of all life. He was the early Al, Al Hayyu. He preserves His created nature in order according to His will. It was only in that one God that Jaka Someh pleaded and resigned himself. For He alone is worthy of worship.  Asking does not characterize it with anything. Is there a God other than God who is more worthy of worship? Nonexistent

Such are the days passed by Jaka Someh on the hill next, his activities are only filled with worship activities such as Prayer, reciting the Quran and dhikr, he said,  Jaka Someh also remains active to practice silat and grow crops.

Not only food crops, or fruits and vegetables that he planted but also plants that contain properties as medicines and health for living things.
