Because of Merapi Mbah
SindhunataTuesday, November 9 last, the status of Mount Merapi was still threatening. Radius of 20 kilometers is still dangerous. Together Agus, a volunteer, that morning I was allowed into the area Pakem.Friends volunteers in monitoring post Mangunan Village, Harjobinangun, Pakem, say, the status of Merapi is sloping. If you still want to go upstairs, please, so long as no more than an hour. By driving a car, Agus and I hurried upstairs, to the hamlet Wonorejo, ten kilometers from Merapi.The street is very quiet. We only met some people who were carrying grass to feed livestock. Cars can not enter the hamlets because before leaving the village, residents pulling down bamboo trees as a barrier to their village disatroni not thieves as long as they fled.We entered the village on foot. Silent immediately ambushed us. Occasionally the silence is shattered by the barking of dogs. I sempatkan myself to see some cows and sheep barn. Thankfully, there is grass for them. Only the chickens that did not seem to find food. The chickens were down sluggish, and some chickens lay the carcass.Finally we arrived at Coral Klethak, a slope at the edge of the hamlet which borders Wonorejo Kali Boyong. In Coral Klethak have a petilasan, name petilasan Mbok Turah. We were silent for a moment before the statue of ash-covered Mbok Turah.Me to the edge of the slope and saw Kali Boyong which has turned out to be shallow and very wide. I ask, where large stones are used to I see? Large stones turned out to have been buried in the sand, which comes down with a cold lava from the summit of Merapi. Kali Boyong under Coral Klethak it almost has become a lake of sand. And through the gaps, the river water flow.Collective fearIn petilasan Mbok Turah, in the middle of Mount Merapi is memorakporandakan and disabling everything, I feel back deep into simple stories about Merapi population over the years. Mount Merapi is erupting.But I keep hearing people on the slopes of Merapi says so: Mbah Merapi again duwe gawe. Duwe gawe what? Duwe gawe reresik lan menungsane Awake (Mbah Merapi is a celebration. A celebration of what? Celebration cleanse himself and human). And they said again: Merapi ning ora njeblug mad. Merga what? Merga kelakuane menungsa (instead of Merapi erupts, but angry. Angered by what? Because human behavior).From their statement was that the events at Merapi seen relationally against life and human behavior. In the understanding that simple people, nature never stands alone: natural and man are in a close and deep relationship. Therefore, natural events, such as the eruption of Merapi, also could be arrested as a purification or a warning against man and his behavior.Merapi eruption powerful this time not only threatening the refugees who were scattered in the area of Yogyakarta, Klaten, Boyolali, and Magelang, but also the collective fear. Collective, because of fears that the whole society, outside the victim. Anyone suddenly seized with anxiety, it could have erupted about it and destroyed all his property.Collective fear becomes disproportionately more, it means to be superfluous and no longer comparable with the actual reality of the threat of disaster. Collective fear is also a fertile ground for various kinds of speculation that the more alarming heresy of man, especially if the media follow-ngipasinya flutter.Science was, in this case volcanology, affected by the collective fear that, until any sophistication no longer dare to guarantee human safety due to the threat of eruption of Merapi.In the collective fear, the man cornered back on the limitations and ketakmampuannya.No wonder if Merapi is then felt as ketransendenan which transcends all human limitations. That's the experience that makes people look at Merapi volcano is not as, but as a symbol that contains ketransendenan. Merapi then personalized and addressed with Mbah Merapi.Because loaded by a transcendent, Merapi must be respected. And in front of him, one must be humble. When Merapi showed his power with the symptoms of the threat of eruption, selayaknyalah people willingly admit its glory away from him. The power and majesty it should not and can not be countered by any pretext, also on the pretext of loyalty.Challenging the majesty and power of Merapi is the opposite of humility is required when dealing with human transcendence, symbolized by Merapi. Here Mbah Merapi that his impression of mythological and irrational that it could force people to be sensible and rational.Arif, so that he be clear and avoid arrogance. And rational, so he would not speculate with any calculation, including mysticism and the occult, except the fact that the eruption has been threatened. Unfortunately, this is ignored, and consequently only a human sacrifice of lying.In the context of our present state and upheaval, eruption of Merapi was smashed power of nature that forces us to abandon irrationality and firmly hold on to the rational. This would apply even more so for our leaders. Because this country's leaders do not often hold on to perklenikan and irrational things in running power?To legitimize his power, they SOWAN to those elders or healers who deemed linuwih. Faced with a njeblug Merapi, it was no magic anymore. What can and should we make only act rationally and not arrogant toward transcendence.Merapi eruption thus force people to recognize their limitations and do all it can to use common budinya.Amendments to the attitude of human life that coincided with the eruption of Merapi, that's what people dibahasakan slopes of Merapi in this statement: "Mbah Merapi again reresik lan ngresiki manungsane Awake" (Mbah Merapi is being cleaned up and clean up man)."Break" with the progressIt has long been suspicious of the astute scholar what is called progress. Triggering of human civilization for unremitting efforts progress. Old-old man seeking advancement was not for the sake of humanity and the environment, but for the sake of progress itself.The idea of such progress actually storing the destruction of progress itself. It's hard to make a break for people who generally ndableg and hard-hearted, that the idea of progress is wrong. Cruelty alamlah only apparatus that can rebuke the violence and absurdity of the human heart. And that's what would happen with Merapi eruption this time.It really has been an error in ourselves and our environment today. And the error was not detected because of the optimism we will progress.Meanwhile, optimism itself because the view of our history that merely linear: we can move forward and keep going until we reach perfection that we pursue. This idea makes us feel stable and well established.But this idea is not balanced, because he forgets and ignores the natural history should also be part of our history. And in contrast to the linear progress of history and well established, the natural history contain coincidence, diskontinuasi, and disintegration.Because we could not break away from natural history, then one day diskontinuasi, disintegration, and it happened to go into our history and ransacked the establishment and break our linearity. That is what the concept is called because of Java. And this time because it coincided with the eruption of Merapi. So because of that happens, tersibaklah all silliness and our mistakes that have been covered and covered.Because it uncover to us that akeh tumindake manungsa nalisir kang, akehbarang mrojol saka order, much human behavior is deviant, and a lot of things crashing order. Does not common this Merapi eruption we witnessed with the more outspoken human activities, much less act of our leaders, who do not know themselves, which deviate from the norms and order?Because it also made tossed whatever our leaders may reribet uwohipun (only produce confusion and inconvenience only). Clearly, our leaders made such as loss of power and power to help people. Good intentions of our leaders seemed to always be broken into failure.Would not want our leaders to get closer to the disaster area Merapi has recently even become a joke because it does not produce anything, even create reribet right?It seemed to spay grandeur of Merapi eruption that has been heralded our leaders. Because it also ngilangake tentreming mind, tinulak compaction of the taxable, even my andelarung ndadra (remove inner peace, can not be avoided, even more be-so). Is not this the Merapi eruption has caused a collective fear, which makes anyone who is not peaceful, and felt unable to escape from the danger?And when that happens because, in order arta without power, kasantikan datan migunani, tansah usreg isining rat (charm money helpless, paralyzed supernatural power, and its contents continue chaotic universe.) Is not this the Merapi eruption has been a consuming magic, making futile any treasure pile, and to apply restlessness and anxiety matchless?"Memayu hayuning Buwana"Merapi eruption is indeed a work of nature. But as the trouble, he has been accused and reprimanded man, pushed his mistake. And in the minds of Java, not just because of the disaster: because the universe is a renewal process, triggered by changes or natural disasters.So with the eruption of Merapi as because of, not only natural but also man who cleaned and updated.Therefore, with reresik Awake (clean up and organize themselves) via the eruption of Merapi, a symbol of transcendence that, in fact is to invite people to renew, cleanse, and organize themselves.With the eruption, Merapi forced the man to ngeduwungi nyingkiri tumindake sing ala lan (repent and turn away from bad behavior.) In this sense, the natural eruption of Merapi was also an event of transcendental because it forces people to repent and turn again to Khaliknya and accountable for all actions. The latter is indeed the deepest meaning of the eruption of Merapi as trouble.Penance that will materialize after the eruption of Merapi when this man would bring together memayu hayuning Buwana, who had been left behind. Memayu hayuning Buwana is safety concept that promotes an ethic of life: nature and include natural pity in your life, if you want to survive.With the concept of salvation, the man casually invited to no longer determine their own history. Clearly, humans must take into account the universe, with all its wealth and drawbacks, if he would survive.So the rate of optimism towards progress, people also have to guard against disintegration, eruption, and diskontinuasi caused by natural renewal.Thus, people are educated to always eling lan alert, that man is only part of the totality, therefore it should not be casually follow the greed and kerakusannya own. Faced with the universality of it, people will experience ketransendenan, which made her realize that he is a man who is very limited.Memayu hayuning Buwana it not only with respect to nature, but also with kesosialan and togetherness. Wisdom is what is taught by the eruption of Merapi, and has suddenly become a praxis that ignites hope. Indeed Merapi eruption this time has been to unite all people to give themselves to humanity.Everyday this country are anxious because of the threat of class and religious differences. These problems suddenly disappeared because of eruption of Merapi. All the people together to help victims and refugees, regardless of religion and studied them. Muslims housed, serviced, and runs his worship in churches and Christian schools or Catholic. Christians and Catholics ruled in peace and security at mosques.Seminary, where the Catholic church seminarian education, churches also turned out to be a place, where the propagators, ustaz, and the students entered tahlilan Nadlatul Ulama, yasinan, salawatan, and recitation with refugees are Muslim. Religions suddenly forced to forget the difference when they are together facing humanity is being threatened by the suffering caused by eruption of Merapi.Indeed eruption of Merapi was to give an opportunity for us to build and create together, despite all differences. And eruption forced religions to come back in essence: that religion exists, not for religion itself, but for the sake of humanity throughout the universe. Each religion does have its own goals, but each religion can not stand alone, they are related to one another, so they are related to universals.And to seek universals that is comfortable for humans, eruption of Merapi to open what should be done religions: not touting his teachings and claims of truth, but realize that unites humanity.Meanwhile, the Merapi eruption also been confirmed that virtually humanity can unite the difference and could be a basis for unity. Therefore, the eruption is a very valuable lesson about memayu hayuning Buwana or construction of the universe, namely: We will be saved together, or we will not be saved at all!Cultural opportunitiesMerapi's eruption has caused suffering. However, the eruption also gives sustenance in abundance, in the form of sand and volcanic ash that fertilize crops. Simple citizens presumably would benefit from that provision.But, besides all, the Merapi eruption also gives tremendous cultural opportunities. Community leaders would need to take advantage of these opportunities, in particular lane X. Because, in addition to the governor, Sultan is a cultural leader in the place where the eruption of Merapi was giving these cultural opportunities.Like when the reform erupted and the Sultan took the initiative to shout a change, so too when Merapi erupted, this time the Sultan would have to shout that the safety of the nation and our society can only be achieved if we achieve it together.Personal Sultanlah the most competent and responsible to call for the wisdom that is taught memayu hayuning Buwana Merapi eruption this time, namely, that humanity, what else could being threatened with suffering, it should unite us despite all the differences that we have.Sultan should also remind that put differences with dereliction of humanity is a betrayal of the transcendental experience of memayu hayuning Buwana provided by the Merapi eruption this time.Sultan would not be silent to not get enough of calling for and realizing the wisdom of Merapi's eruption. If Sultan silent, cultural opportunities conferred by Mbah Merapi because it will disappear swallowed by the forgetfulness of the typical diseases of this our beloved nation.
