In Katresnanism Criticism: The Nature and Who Does it, Antonius Herujiyanto says that one’s sickness is also a blessing. We are Binerkahan (being blessed) not only in our healthy life, but also in the purifying process which is commonly called disease.
Anand also experienced this deep insight in Leh Himalaya India when his heart was already accepting death. “This indeed is a right place to die” (174). At that time, there was no conflict with the death. He totally accepted both sides of Life.
This positive thinking gave an opportunity for him to know his true self and began to celebrate life.
In Katresnanism Criticism: The Nature and Who Does it, Antonius Herujiyanto says that in Javanese native wisdom there was an aos, namely, Tuhu (celebrating faithfulness).
Anand was accepting death and able to live life fully in Love. Living to celebrate.. .Unaffected by anything, a realized soul celebrates life in its fullness, in its entirety. Such a soul becomes one with life, with existence, with what you have been calling God. Sometimes Realization was something that you did have to work for. It was there; you just have to realize it. At other time, Realization was the end of the soul’s quest. (108)
II. CONCLUSIONS AND SUGGESTION
This session deals with the conclusions as well as suggestion of the study. The conclusions deal with the analysis of the previous chapter, whereas the suggestion is intended to the future researchers. The last part is the implementation of teaching learning activities.
3.1 Conclusions
After analyzing the character of Anand Krishna, I have some findings.
As a young businessman he was eager to gain wealth, possession and prestige. However, Leukemia burned out all those obsessions. It made him stressed flail.
Anand actually lacked of confidence and felt very desperate in facing the death. Therefore, he was running away from that fact of life. Furthermore, he has not known what he was looking for yet.
First, Anand flight away to India, to consult his health with his beloved living Master. He stayed in Sai Baba’s ashram at Prashanti Nilayam for one hill month. However, his master kept on avoiding him. After that, he came to a Shuka Nadi dukun. It said that no one can cure him. He himself should overcome this disease. Anand also came to Buddhist Monastry, through meditation practices he could see his sickness from a different point of view. Finally, in Leh he met with a Lama who suggested him to accept death and live hilly in love.
This total acceptance or Sumarah (trusting and surrendering) brought realness and recovery from within. He realized that his sickness was also a blessing or Binerkahan. Then, he began to Tuhu or celebrate life in faithfulness (Love, Peace and Harmony).
