Liberation of Body and Soul
Sometimes the soul and body are not in harmony
What the body does does not align with the soul
Sometimes life is a necessity to face the world
So, what about ourselves?
We tend to follow what the world desires
Full of mysteries and logic
Forcing ourselves to keep trying
So, forgetting what the soul truly desires
Have you started greeting the accustomed self of the soul?
Have you truly asked?
Inquiring about the well-being of the soul and the body
Is everything really okay? Or does it need a change of atmosphere?
Sometimes life is not just about what exists in the world
In a world of deceit (dunia tipu-tipu), as Yura Yunita says
In a world with uncertainty in it
Various colors are present in it
Colors that are not just black and white but also a spectrum among them
Yet, the soul and body are forced to use colors that harmonize with the world
So, have we truly asked
What color it desires?
Have we truly known
What the soul and body want? What it desires in the world?
When the sun begins to reveal its light
Through the bright light of the window,
Starting the day by opening our eyes,
Morning spirit to the world!
That’s the usual mantra to greet
Good morning, soul and body,
Congratulations on living again in a bright and cheerful morning with full prayers
Gratitude is expressed immediately
For all that has been created perfectly
Now ready to face the world
When the soul and body begin to rhyme
This world is only temporary
So we must continue to create
Create through what exists in the world
So we must continue to strive to achieve certainty in the world
Even though there is nothing certain in the world because, what’s the same may not be the same, what’s different is not necessarily different…
So, striving remains the priority
Striving to achieve what does not exist yet
However, sometimes what already exists is still being pursued.
This is the content of the world
Apologies will not bring enough relief
Apologies will not represent all efforts
Apologies are still uttered to you, oh soul and body
Sorry for making you keep trying
Sorry for making you keep fighting
Sorry for forcing you to face the world
Sorry for forcing you to keep creating
Sorry for neglecting what has been felt
Sorry for forcing the imagination
Sorry for the liberation of body and soul
Thank you for fighting
Thank you for continuing to strive
Thank you for being strong in facing the world
Thank you for being willing to be forced
Thank you, soul Thank you, body
This world is our world
We face it together
In joy and sorrow
Even if it’s forced
But still striving through it with a strong soul, a great body, and striving to remain strong and great
So why forcing it?
Because… sometimes moving forward can only happen when forced Forced towards goodness, of course
Who determines it? The soul and body that can determine the most
The soul and body are ordinary
Know what it needs
Know what it feels
Know what it wants
Know what is most comfortable for it
But sometimes the self still cannot understand the meaning,
Of what has been conveyed by the soul and body
So it needs to be heard and felt
What is happening to the soul and body
The self must be more sensitive
Sensitive to the soul and body
