Perhaps you are wondering, ‘If God Is Inside Us, Where Is God To Be Found?
Is God In Here, Or In Here?’ [Bapak gestures to various parts of his body.]
Brothers and Sisters, ‘you’ are not in here, or in here, [gestures] but in your whole body.
So, if your name is Elizabeth or Carol, ‘you’ are in Carol, not in your ear, not in your eyes, but in your whole body.
So You Feel The Closeness Of God’s Will To You In Every Part Of Your Body.
That Is Why Every Part Of Your Body Is Moved In Latihan.
You Are Made To Walk In The Latihan.
Yet you have been able to walk since you were a child, and you walk very well.
You Wave Your Hands About In The Latihan: ‘Why do I have to do that?
After all, I’ve been able to wave my hands about since I was small.’
It is the same with other actions – Seeing, Smelling, Hearing, Eating, Talking, Speaking, Thinking and Feeling.
You can do all those things; you have done them since you were little.
Why Do You Repeat Them In The Latihan?
The reason is that, as yet, you cannot Feel the Power of God in every part of your body.
Eventually, you will be able to tell the difference between ‘I walk’ and ‘I Am Being Made To Walk’; ‘I grasp’ and ‘I Am Being Made To Grasp’.
And when you can do that, your whole body – every part of you – Will Constantly Be Guided, Led Or Supported By The Power Of God.
Then, one by one, every part of you will discover its true nature, its true function.
And so you will never lose your way in life – be it in this life or in the next life, after you die.
And each SUBUD Member, every one of you, Receives The Latihan In Your Own Way.
Your Latihan cannot be the same as anyone else’s. Why not?
Because God Knows, God Understands, that no two people are alike, especially people who are unrelated.
Even siblings from the same mother and father will be different, different in behaviour and in nature.
Because that is so, The Way God Guides Each Individual Is Adjusted To Suit Their Strength, Ability, Habits And Situation.
This is why there is no teaching or method used in the Spiritual Association of Susila Budhi Dharma.
It would be a mistake to use a method.
For if there were a method – for instance, Mr Subuh’s method – everyone would have to be like Mr Subuh.
That would be difficult for you to do; it would make life difficult for Mr Subuh and for you.
You would have to forget your way of doing things, you would have to forget everything that you enjoy, all the things that you do.
That is what it would be like.
That is why the Spiritual Association of SUBUD uses no methods, mantras or teaching, Because We Are Led, Guided And Educated By The Power Of God That Envelops Everything That God Has Created.
And Bapak simply Opened the way for you.
Why did he need to Open the way for you?
The reason is that you have blocked your own Path To God’s Power with your desires.
That is the reason, so Bapak just Opened the way; at that moment he set aside your low forces.
When Bapak stood in front of you, You Felt There Was Something Vibrating Inside You.
That Is The Vibration Of Life That Occurs When The Contact Is Made With The Great Power Of God That Encompasses You.
It is referred to in Islam as the Qadr Ilh- Am.
It Is A Movement Granted By God, The Movement Of Life.
That Is Why You Feel A Vibration Inside You, And That Is What Causes You To Move Spontaneously.
