“Good. Now Mas Mahmud already has an understanding of the true manungsa, actually human. Hadith of the Prophet, Man arafa nafiahu faqad arafa Rabbahu, who knows himself will know his Lord, Meaning the word ‘dirimiria’ in hadith is what? Or, which one?”

“Definitely true self, soul...”.

Mr. Subakir nodded. “Then, why by knowing her true self or knowing her soul, then she can know her God?”

Hazri pondered for a long time. “Eemm, probably because God is also true..,” hesitates he replied.

“Really! That's very right. Never doubt this, Mahmud. God is Absolute Truth, He is the Most True. And, Truth can only be achieved with truth as well, impossible to achieve through meeting. True meet true, pseudo meet pseudo. Don't get confused and don't flip through.”

Hazri nodded with a sigh.

“Well, Mas Mahmud has gained another understanding of the relationship between the true self of man and Absolute Truth. Does it feel like there is no relationship?”

Hazri honestly shook her head. “Not yet, Mr.”

Mr. Subakir laughed a little. “Later, God willing, this one should not be just an understanding, but must be a science.”

“There is indeed a difference between understanding and science, Sir?” ask Hazri. Not yet understood the purpose of Mr. Subakir's speech just now.

Subakir laughed again. “Clearly. It's a real difference. Look, Mas Mahmud, still reading al-Hikam?”

Hazri was shocked, he never told the story of the book of Shaykh Atha’illah to Pak Subakir and others here. “Iya, Sir. But, how do you know?”

Mr. Subakir smiled. “Ah, just by chance. You just guessed and happened to be right. But, this is not important. Back to the difference. For the Shaykh Atha, everything he said in his book was already a science. But, for Mas Mahmud who just read it, the science of Shaykh Atha’illah can not be called science because it is still in the form of understanding. Can you understand this?”

Hazri shook her head quickly. Not understanding at all.

“Bapak will ask. While reading al-Hikam, Mas Mahmud was confused not?”

“Wah, very confused, sir. It seems obvious, but it doesn't understand.”

Mr. Subakir laughed, Agil too.

“That's understanding. Still confused. Why is Mas Mahmud confused?”

Hazri pondered for a moment. “Perhaps because my science has not arrived..”.

“Wrong. Not because of the science of Mas Mahmud who has not arrived, but because the understanding is not yet a science for Mas Mahmud.”

Hazri was starting to understand. “Then, there must be a way so that understanding can become a science. Isn't that right, sir?”

“Betul. That is, how to make understanding a science. The key is in ‘rasa’. New understanding becomes a science after getting ‘rasi’”

“Taste? How does that mean?”

“Begini, just direct example yes, hopefully it can be easier. Because, it is not easy to explain this.”

Hazri nodded.

“Bapak want to ask, Mas Mahmud knows the machine?”

“Slightly, car engine.”

“If sewing machine? Or, just sew...?”

“Wah, do not understand at all my sewing business.”

Mr. Subakir laughed. “Tell me, Mas Mahmud, who was a layman about sewing, read a book about sewing. Much confused not initially?”

“Sure, Sir.”

“Then, how to not be confused continue?”

“Training, practice. Follow sewing course maybe.”

Pak Subakir egypt. “After enough practice, how?”

“Should understand sewing. Not confused anymore.”

“Why can't you be confused? Why can you understand?”

“Because it's already known..”.

“Why can you say you have mastered the knowledge?”

“Eemm, because already know what it's like to sew.”

Mr. Subakir laughed a little. “That's Mas Mahmud. Taste.”

Hazri also understood. Just like his life experience. At first he was confused about thugs, then lived. Now, what about the thugs he doesn't know? Because I know what it's like to be a thug. Biang.

“That's how...,” Pak Subakir continued. “Understanding anything has just shifted its value to science after being taped it feels aka soul. Without it, understanding is just a story or just postulates. Theory, people say. Understand that all theories are not true scientists. Any theory it is.”

Hazri lowered her head, sipping on this advice. True, theory is not true science. Theories are notions, stories, or postulates that still have to be sought to be transformed into science. Once obtained, then the nature of ‘meetings’ theory becomes ‘kejatian’ science for those who managed to get the taste. For those who cannot feel, theory is still just a theory. Fairy-level.

“Mas Mahmud can be said to be alive because there is something?”

“That's.”

“Well, if understanding can be ‘turned’ with what?”

“Taste. ”

“Then.”

Hazri also understood.

They stopped for a moment to sip coffee. Asem rada is also the mouth because from earlier it has not smoked. The others also do not smoke. Maybe it shouldn't be here, inner Hazri. If yesterday-yesterday in the living room, billowing continues.

Pak Subakir egypt. “Not prohibited from smoking, please. If you, Kang Bilal, and Kang Agil have no cigarettes, hehehe.”.

Hazri. For the whole time Mr. Subakir knew what was going through his brain. He grimaces. “I think it is forbidden to boil here,” he said while removing cigarettes. “Come, Kang Bilal, Kang Agil both.”

They also smoke together, including Mr. Subakir. Don't worry, there's plenty of stock in Hazri's car locker. It was to be taken directly, but Mr. Subakir said that there was once spent.

“If according to the sharia, what is the law of smoking, Mas Mahmud?”

“Snow I understand. But, there are also those who say mubah, even haram.”

Mr. Subakir laughed a little. “If the word is true, depends.”.

“Depends on how, Sir?”

“If smoking it could be dzikir.”.

“Wah? Cooking smoking can be dzikir sir?”

“Hehehe. The smoke, the fire, the movement of his hands, the suction, the blow, all miser..”.

“Ah kidding time Father yes?” Hazri still doesn't believe it.

Mr. Subakir, Bilal, and Agil were laughing.

“Not only about cigarettes, it was Kang Agil's laughter and Kang Bilal could also be dhikr. Wrinkle on the forehead Mas Mahmud can also, hehehe..”.

Hazri bobbles head. It's hard for him to believe.

“You know the understanding?”

Hazri nodded quickly.

“Word of Allah in al-Qur’an, ‘All who are in the sky and. who are on the earth are glorified to Allah..’ All glorified, all praised Him. All means include everything, without exception. Outrageous if in the middle of the sea of prayer beads we still can not remember. Does not dhikr mean to remember Him?”

“Allah..,” Hazri sighed. Start to understand him.

Mr. Subakir smiled. “But, this is still understanding for Mas Mahmud. Dalil, theory, news, he said Qur’an, he said ustadz.... It must be pursued, do not stop just getting there. When it comes to reason, the entire contents of al-Qur’an are correct. End thing. Don't argue. Dalil al-Qur’an is true! Point. The problem is now in taste. Can we not feel it? If you say all things glorify God, all praise God, little children can too. What's that hard for? But, try to speak with all his sense of truth. Couldn't? For without it lies the law to those who speak. Though spoken is the word of Allah the Most True.”

Hazri was stuck for a long time permeating Pak Subakir's words. True, if without taste then the proposition of the Most True will be punished by lying to those who say. Clearly a lie because he doesn't know the truth.

“Where, Mas Mahmud? Pretty clear?”

“Yes, Sir. At the limit of understanding.”

“Good. Can we go on?” ask Mr. Subakir.

Hazri nodded. A cigarette was taken and lit.

“That feeling is in fact magical, just like spirit..,” Pak Subakir started again.

“In the meantime, Sir, what is the truth?” Hazri asked because from that time Mr. Subakir often mentioned the word truth, as well as remembering Faruq who had once given him an understanding of the essence.

“The fact is the truth, which is always within the framework of truth. For example, the Father said, the sense of the nature of the occult.... This means that the true taste is supernatural and the Father expresses it in the framework of the truth that you believe in. Simply put, the truth is the truth. The truth must be true. So.”

Hazri. “Other example, for example Mas Mahmud said, the essence of man is his soul. How to try the meaning?”

“Eemm, the true man is his spirit.”

“True, origin..?”

“Originally it has been obtained,” replied Hazri.

Subakir laughed as well. “Yes already, that way first. Don't confuse. Later, questions like this will be answered by itself if Mas Mahmud can already blend in this Absolute Truth. According to the Father, do not be dizzy with all kinds of terms. The easy thing is, you will understand yourself. Try, why do you dare say this?”

Hazri looked at Mr. Subakir. “Because you have experienced. It has become a science, it is difficult to feel.”

Pak Subakir egypt. “That's. God willing, Mahmud will be the same. Understand taste, know truth.”

Hazri nodded with satisfaction.
