Ponder, So You Know Who You Are

Cakra Buana began to be confused by the question of the black shadow. He had not found an answer at all, his mind seemed to be dysfunctional, his heart seemed to freeze and his heart stopped beating.

'I'm who? Why am I just realizing this. Right too, even I don't know who I am.' Inner Cakra Buana.

The young man was now beginning to doubt everything. Yes, doubt ..doubt that can tear everything down. Buana's chakra was still pensive, mixed feelings began to pervade his soul.

"How, do you know who you are? If you don't know yourself, what are you doing all this for, what are you living for? It's a waste of what you've been doing all this time young man" said the black shadow.

The black shadow continued to corner Cakra Buana, the smile full of meaning ceaselessly displayed. The black shadow seemed satisfied from seeing Cakra Buana such confusion.

"Think calmly, young man, keep your heart and mind in line. If you succeed, then you can slowly answer this question. Ponder, so that you may know who you are" said the white shadow.

The white shadow is the shape of the good side of the Buana chakra, while the black shadow is the shape of the evil side of the Buana Cakra.

Buana's chakra began to follow what the white shadow said, he slowly began to close his eyes. Trying to enter the heart space and then go into the mind space.

After that, Cakra Buana tries to make between his heart and mind in line and not cross anymore. But apparently, it's not easy. The Cakra of Buana still cannot unite the heart and mind, the heart says A, but the mind says B. Always so and so.

Cakra Buana did not want to give up, he kept trying as much as possible. Until finally the young man can unite his heart and mind slowly.

Cakra Buana smiled, she began to find answers that could enter deacons. The longer the smile was wider, until finally Cakra Buana spoke up after pensively.

"I am a human. I was single. I am real in the world. I am not an illusion in nirvana. I am a human being who has been given destiny according to my portion. I realized that in my body not only I, there was a lot that Sang Hyang Widhi had prepared in my body, I was a soul, a spirit and everything else supernatural," answer Cakra Buana steadily.

Hearing the reply from Cakra Buana, the black shadow seemed irritated. Because it is a question that is most difficult to answer for some people, especially lay people.

"Is my answer correct?" cakra Buana asked the white shadow.

"Truly young man. Your answer is correct, but your answer is only one of the right ones, because there are still many people out there who can answer in a different word than what you just said."

According to the white shadow, everyone's answer to 'who I am' is not always the same. Everyone must have their own language and words, but the wrong or correct answer can be known when the person conveys it.

"Now you have succeeded in dissolving the wrathful nature of anger in you and your soul is now clean. Come back, your teacher is waiting. 'Be a human being who is human, do not be a human being who is a demon or animal'" said the white shadow that is none other than the good side of Cakra Buana while giving a speech.

After saying so, the white shadow vanished from sight. I don't know where it went, because Cakra Buana itself does not know for sure.

Before long, the Cakra Buana returned to her consciousness, her eyes starting to open when it was late at night. Without further ado, the Cakra Buana instantly came out of the water quickly. He immediately headed towards the edge of the well.

"Eyang Resi," said Cakra Buana while saluting his teacher, Eyang Resi Patok Pati.

According to the calculations of Eyang Resi, the last day of his student running tirakat falls on this night which coincides with the full moon. Therefore, Eyang Resi Patok Pati immediately went to the Seven Colors Lake to welcome Cakra Buana.

"You have returned Cakra, Eyang is very happy you can complete this tirakat" said Eyang Resi Patok Pati welcoming the arrival of Cakra Buana.

"This is all thanks to the blessing of Eyang Resi," Cakra Buana replied politely.

"Good Cakra, now your soul is clean from the angkara nature of wrath. Let's go back to the hut soon, Eyang will teach the Dark Ngampar and Broken Raga studies as he once promised." said Eyang Resi Patok Pati.

According to Eyang Resi, now is the time to pass on the Dark Ngampar and Broken Raga teachings to Cakra Buana. Especially now Cakra Buana has successfully undergone tirakat in the Seven Colors Lake and managed to melt the angkara nature of wrath.
