Maintaining the Inner Light to Be Able to Illuminate the World So That Life Doesn’t Lose Direction

A dimming inner light is a sign that the weather and atmosphere are hitting to move again to find a new atmosphere as part of blowing passion from the weakest and most vulnerable point, so that it can continue to move even in conditions that are not yet optimal.
This exciting spiritual journey is not just to get away from the political, economic and power turmoil that is to be held, but is needed so as not to fall into the trap of wild lust, without control and violating the most basic rights of others.
Therefore, loyalty and commitment must start from oneself. There is no need to expect from anyone, where the measure of loyalty, commitment and selfless loyalty is considered like a weathered antique, no longer has any value because its replacement already exists and is available in supermarkets to surprise markets on the side of the road. This means that efforts to fortify oneself must be increased on a full alert scale. Otherwise, the soul and soul will be divided up like state land that is considered not part of the people’s rights that need and should be protected together. But the climate of corruption has reached the area that is considered no man’s land. Starting from the sea sand, beautiful beaches to the deep seabed, it has become a model of progress in the science of embezzlement in order to escape the clutches of the law. In fact, the level of deceit is far beyond the depraved attitude of embezzling project money or simply marking up the costs that are multiplied to be pocketed by themselves.
The depravity of the behavior of officials like that is no less heinous than trading in laws and regulations and legislation to extorting convicts while in prison.
The story that is rife in this country will later become a study of the history of state governance that always overcomes the name of being for and for the people. Then their children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren will certainly bear the burden of a dull history that is unpleasant to be remembered by the next generation and generations. Although efforts and attempts to cleanse ourselves have been made repeatedly all the way to Mecca, history will still tell its own narrative version.
Efforts to search for ethical and moral awareness — spiritual — are also part of the testimony that must be given to us who live in the same era as the events that are happening and may continue to develop like an infectious disease outbreak for anyone who is unable to protect themselves from the shocks of civilization that continue to be noisy. The reality of socio-political to chaotic economy that is overwritten by falsehood and lies to fraud, is clearly testing the resilience of spiritual intelligence in the event of bargaining or final transactions in the free market in the dim light of the earth which will certainly bear witness later.
Disasters and calamities can truly strike like curses that descend from the sky. All cannot be read from the spiritual radar that is magel and rotten. Because the precision of holiness, sincerity and honesty cannot be transacted, because then everything will be canceled by the laws of nature that are beyond human power or authority.
In this cycle, loyalty and faithfulness are not just social attitudes, but are part of spirituality and personal integrity. In this cycle, loyalty and faithfulness can be understood as the birth of inner strength, or merely as complementary accessories to the image that has become part of a lifestyle and false pride. That is how important it is to maintain the flame of the soul — as the light of the world — so as not to go wrong or lose direction.*
