Bambang Kumbayana menggantikan Drona memerankan bayangan karakter tokoh perwayangan Ki Begawan Guru Durna

Two different colors of shadow puppets act as one character of Guru Drona (Dronacharya)
It is the realisation of, and firm adherence to, that which is ever existent that deserves the name siddhi or attainment. Attainment of miraculous powers, is like attaining them in dreams. When he wakes up what becomes of them? Will those who have brushed aside the unreal and got established in the Real be confounded by these?
If the mind becomes absorbed in the Heart, the ego or ‘1’, which is the centre of the multitude of thoughts, finally vanishes and pure Consciousness or Self, which subsists during all the states of the mind, alone remains resplendent. It is this state, where there is not the slightest trace of the ‘I’-thought, that is the true Being of oneself. And that is called Quiescence or Mouna (Silence).
Even when extraneous thoughts sprout up during such enquiry, do not seek to complete the rising thought but instead, deeply enquire within, ‘To whom has this thought occurred?’
Setting apart time for meditation is only for the merest spiritual novices. A man who is advancing will begin to enjoy the deeper beatitude, whether he is at work or not. While his hands are in society, his keeps his head cool in solitude.
By incessantly pursuing within yourself the inquiry ‘Who am I?’, you will know your true self and thereby attain salvation.
Knowing that the train carries all the weight, why indeed should we, the passengers travel-ling in it, carry our small individual articles of luggage on our laps to our great discomfort, instead of putting them aside and sitting at perfect ease?
Ramana attracts because you can see his enlightenment in the luminosity of his eyes. He is forever projecting a silent power that draws the viewer into himself or herself. He is an uninterrupted beacon that steadily signals: "The Divine is you!"
If the ego rises, all else will also rise; if it subsides, all else will also subside. The deeper the humility with which we conduct ourselves, the better it is for us. If only the mind is kept under control, what matters it where one may happen to be?
Realisation is nothing but seeing God literally. Our greatest mistake is that we think of God as acting symbolically and allegorically instead of practically and literally.
