THE MEANING OF SUBUD... Talk IV SUBMISSION... (Continued)

THE MEANING OF SUBUD... Talk IV SUBMISSION... (Continued)

THE MEANING OF SUBUD -  Talk IV  SUBMISSION... Continued today Thursday 11/8/10...


Now Bapak is going to illustrate this. (Bapak stands up.) 


Bapak is standing quite relaxed and free, like this;  as is called in the language of the army:  "Stand at ease!" 


Now after being perfectly 'at ease' in this way, You May Begin, Like This, Because You Are Now In The Right Condition For The Command To Be Taken Over By God.


Whereas before, it was your mind and heart that were in command,  It Is Now In This New Freedom That The Command Is Taken Over By God. 


God May Give The Command: 'Stand At Attention!'  (Bapak snaps to attention - Laughter.)


Then You Follow Whatever Movements May Come, Like This. (Bapak illustrates - a roar of laughter.)


But some of you do not do it this way, you are in too much of a hurry. 


As soon as you enter the hall... you immediately start moving, like this.  (Bapak illustrates this with many funny gestures, making all sorts of movements - Laughter. ) 


No, never be in a hurry, like that. 


When You Stand Up To Do Latihan, Start By Feeling And Seeing, 'Now I Am Relaxed, Free Of The Command Of My Heart And My Thinking Mind, And I Am Waiting For God To Take Over, Waiting For His Command'. 


(Bapak makes here more gestures.)


Well, this is how it will be, when God Might Say, 'Stand At Attention!'  (Again Bapak snaps to attention. Laughter.) 


Now You Can See What Will Come, And Whatever It May Be; Perhaps Like This (still making gestures), Or This Goes On Like This (gestures), Or Like This, And Like This (more gestures and roars of laughter). 


So do not come in like this, as soon as you enter the hall,  (Bapak runs and stamps his feet and almost falls to the floor, flapping his hands about. Lots of laughter), and continuing like that till the end of the Latihan.  


Because in that way, You Will Not See And Feel Its Origin, And How It Starts In You, And You Will Not Receive Where It Comes From.


The Same Is True For The End Of The Latihan, When God Ends His Command, And Tells You Once Again To Stand At Ease.


You Have Done Your Latihan And You May Feel, 'Oh, Perhaps God Is About To Relinquish His Command.'  Then Maybe God Says, 'Stand At Ease!'  (Bapak stands at ease.) 


So You Should Accustom Yourselves To Receiving The Beginning And The End Of The Latihan, In This Way.  Then You Will Realize, 'Oh, That's How It Is.'


So, for instance, if Bapak says, as in Islam: 'Allahu Akbar'  (God Is Almighty)  like this, (Bapak Raises His Hands And Folds Them On His Breast), The Meaning Of 'Allahu Akbar' Corresponds To This Movement. 


If, on the other hand, Bapak does this  (Bapak sings something amusing while making the same movement), then it is not right, it is wrong. 


Or if Bapak says 'Allahu Akbar' like this (Bapak makes the movements of running and singing), that is also inappropriate. 


 If Bapak says 'Allahu Akbar', He Must Move Like This. 


If, for instance, you say, 'Oh, God, Jesus,'  (Here Bapak Raises His Hands), This Is Right. 


But if you say the same, (Bapak dances inappropriately), that is out of place. 


Practicing In This Way, You Will See And Feel How The Latihan Starts And Finishes In You.


So In The Real State Of Latihan, Everything Is In Its Right Place.


P.S. Visiting his faithful SUBUD daughter Muftiah... today... in Spirit... Bapak wants her to inform... all his SUBUD children that... once they reach their Golden Years... at the age of sixty-three... they no longer need to stand up... to do Latihan... but may remain seated... or lying down... where they will still Receive... Whatever God Wills for them... in their ongoing Spiritual Growth... and Development...


Furthermore... once they have been doing the Latihan... diligently... for at least seven years... they should be doing it every day... 


The Following is the True Way... in which to live the SUBUD Life...:-


It Is Important... To Stay In Touch With The Latihan... To Feel The Vibration... When You Get Up In The Morning...  


It Is Also Important... To Remember... To Feel For The Vibration... When You Are In The Middle Of Working...


And To Bless Your Food At Lunchtime... And Allow The Latihan... To Rinse Out Your Activities... 


During The Afternoon... Remember To Feel For The Vibration... Once Or Twice... 


At Dinnertime... Bless Your Food... And Get Quiet... 


Before Retiring To Bed... Let The Latihan Rinse You Out... And Sleep Clean... 


Do Not Wait For Your Times Of Group Latihan... To Surrender Yourself To God...


God Has Given You The Opportunity... To Live Near Him... Day By Day... –  Do Not Relegate Him... To Just Once... Or Twice A Week... 


If You Do All This... You Will Be Helping Bapak... In His Ongoing Mission... To Spread SUBUD... Throughout The World...
