( First part of recording missing )

( ...consciousness means that human beings are conscious ) not only of their life in the world, but also of their life after death, and of where it has already become close to or become one with God's power, that envelops ( it ) inside and outside.

In Islam, Prophet Isbat is mentioned as one who was close to the nature of Allah. That is, he was like an example of God's power.

In Islam it is ( also ) said that it was like that between Muhammad and the power of God.

Bapak has been talking about something rather deep - too deep - but never mind, as long as you do not think about it. This explanation of Bapak's is only for you to hear and understand for the moment. But do not dwell on it or take it as if it were a prerequisite to speed up your latihan.

Earlier Bapak explained the stages within the self of a human being whereby he can look after his good quality, so that he may become a perfect human being and always receive and feel the grace of God within him. In this way, man can become happier in his life than all the creatures below him.

As for the levels Bapak spoke about earlier, of course, each level requires time, maybe a long time, but you should just entrust it to God. Just surrender it to God and leave it to His will, for He knows better than all of you what to do for the good of human beings who worship God.

But in any event, the truth is that all of you who have received this latihan are human beings who are blessed. You have received happiness from the One God, for you are able to receive the working of God's power within your being. So, although it is not yet complete and you have only received a very little, you are able to feel the true life that is within your life. Bapak is saying this because before you received this latihan, you considered that you were alive and could walk, see, hear, smell, feel and so on; but after receiving the latihan, you felt, 'Within me there is a power I did not know before'. That power is there within our being.

So, although it is nothing yet, it can be said that you are fortunate people, because you are able to receive God's will and God's power, which is kept, or in other words is there, within you. And such a state should not, of course, be unfamiliar to Muslims. For, before everything they undertake, before everything they do, they say, 'Bismillahir rahmanir rahim' ( Arab.: In the name of God, the compassionate, the merciful ). In reality, everything is because of God -that which has already happened as well as that which has not yet happened. Or, in the case of man's actions, that which has been done as well as that which has not yet been done.

This fits with your experience and practice in the latihan, where everything is caused not by your heart, your will, your thinking and desires, but because it is willed by God - so it is because of God. So the best thing for all of you is that you should really have sincere and complete faith in the existence of God and His greatness. And it is necessary for you to truly surrender everything that is within you to the One God.

This is the end of Bapak's explanation for tonight. It is quite a lot. Bapak will finish now, and will continue on another day that Bapak will determine.

That is all. Bapak thanks you very much, and asks for your forgiveness if Bapak has said anything out of place. Amen.
