A nice philosophical question: Does man create anything.
I teach fine art for a living. I use to be quite a proficient painter. There I had the same feeling as when I danced. When a painting was finished I had to conclude that somehow the painting had ‘done itself’. Dancing a dance or being a dance (filling the character of the dance). This difference has the same scope. Was it just channelling a higher genius, Godly energy? Maybe. When man touches Roh it is due because of his intend, free choice or was it already in store for him? If so, how can man strive to reach a higher level? Or was even this road already intended. Many religions ask themselves the same question.
Both my teachers told me not to follow a ready path but make my own. And to be aware of the events,(or objects) which occurs during my journey.
The thing is, both keris and stones are a manifestation of our reality.
Was the combination of keris and stone intended like a marriage. One fulfils the other?
This pyrit has not been touched. It is pure kodrat. The nails runs through and through. Kodrat Paku Buana.
Reading back I have to re-phrase. Making my own path is not like breaking new ground. It is more like surfing on top of a wave (a nice metaphor which must appeal to you ), following the wave, anticipating on what I ‘see’. Tak dir is true, but somehow this is not contradicting, me surfing.
