Spiritual consultancy

Spiritual consultancy

From Rakyat Merdeka

From my observation of the latest condition of the Soehartos
(and their cronies) I can see that they need a team of "spiritual
consultants", rather than legal consultants. Yes, spiritual
consultancy is what they need.

It seems that the Soehartos need to know that everything a
human being does both pretendingly (contributing foods and
clothing, etc, merrily performing a religious service) and openly
(through corruption, collusion and nepotism, violations of human
rights, etc) is subject to just punishment.

In my opinion, God is most just as well as most merciful. He
will forgive our sins 100 percent as long as we repent. However,
laws cannot be forgiving subject of one's crimes although all the
things that one has stolen / embezzled are returned/refunded.
Indeed laws can be cheated by power, material, and the
sophistication of a lawyer's or defender's equivocation. But God
can never be cheated. In God's eyes, the best lawyer is the
individual concerned, not other people.

One should believe in the hukum karma ("cause and effect"), a
law saying that something (usually bad) will happen to one
because of evil deeds in previous life. Every being who is
capable of, or who has done something, shall be subject to this
law.

This is a bit of input from me. May the Soehartos make this
something like a contemplation of life. God willing, we will
always get the best. Indeed true happiness can only be found in a
soul that is clean and close to God.

May God bless us all and grant us the strength to be able to
behave well and to do things honestly to others in particular to
ourselves.
