Back to Ratu Bagus (Part 1)

Ratu Bagus comes from the words Ratu and Bagus. Ratu means king or leader, and Bagus means good, pure, beautiful, noble. So, Ratu Bagus can be interpreted as a good king or leader, a noble ruler. In a spiritual context, we refer to Ratu Bagus as “energy.” It is a pure energy that cleanses and purifies the human soul.

Back to Ratu Bagus means that we are returning to our true selves as human beings. True human beings, full of love, great and universal love. A very simple way for us as disciples is to model all our behavior and ways of thinking on the figure and character of Ratu Bagus.

We need examples, guidance, and a focal point because of our limitations. Then, through that process, we are guided toward authenticity. It seems very simple but it is not easy, because we must have a strong foundation, one of which is looking to the teacher Ratu Bagus as our guide.

The character and traits of Ratu Bagus, who is full of love, sincerity, devotion, and responsibility to the universe, can be a role model for us to follow. From this, we will understand the consciousness of Ratu Bagus’ energy. This must be understood and realized, because sometimes our nature and ego often stray from the path of energy, which tends to distance us from his principles and teachings.

Ego makes us feel that we are always right and always blame others, so that we unconsciously forget our true selves. In fact, our thoughts are negative, but when we see other people who are negative, our minds feel that we are right, so we blame others and eventually, without realizing it, we divide and even want to dominate. All of this is a struggle and a war within ourselves, between our minds and hearts, until finally one of them determines the victory.

This will always be present in every spiritual process, but the most important thing is to be able to break free from these shackles until awareness emerges. Awareness of sincerity, sincerity of heart in devotion, humility in attitude, upholding and maintaining ethics, and knowing one’s duties and responsibilities as a disciple.

Back to Ratu Bagus is a journey into oneself to understand the essence of the self, because in truth, Ratu Bagus exists within, and only then can one understand Ratu Bagus that exists outside. The pinnacle is wisdom. No longer dwelling on the numbers 6 and 9, because those are merely perceptions and perspectives of each individual to feel right, but rather on how to understand both.
