Implementation of Nyepi is the Tilem Kesanga always begins with Tawur Kesanga, implement the sacred sacrifice in order to maintain the balance of the universe. Surely this can not be separated from a close relationship between Buana Agung (Universe) with Man (Buana Alit). The balance between the Great and Buana Buana Alit really need to wake up because human life depends on nature. The meaning of the holy sacrifice not only as the embodiment of devotion to the God's people, but also as a manifestation of good will to remain preserve creation Ida Sanghyang Widhi Wasa. Good intentions need to be grown and always interpreted in everyday life and not only in the case when only deliver to the holy sacrifice. Deliver to the holy sacrifice is a ritual, but a deeper meaning must be reflected in every step of deeds (Karma). A balance must occur in a vertical and horizontal well to achieve quiet and peace of the universe. Panca Maha Butha element in human beings the same as the element of Panca Maha Butha that exists in the universe. Man one with another human being the same is true. If we cultivate a negative attitude in us, surely there will be a collision with another, and vice versa if we cultivate a positive attitude then the unity of all people will be created which ended with peace and happiness for all. Every welcome Nyepi Day, a few days before, they always begin with Melasti ceremony. In layman's common for us to know that the Melasti ritual intended to cleanse pratima by performing the purification into the sea or other water source that eventually ended in the sea as well. If we want to examine more in-depth and based on the understanding the nature of the Melasti, it should not just march to the sea or water resources and clean pratima. There is a deeper meaning more directly mnyentuh Holy Soul / Atman in us. Pratima-symbol is a sacred symbol that can be seen with the naked eye and involving the human hand in the making. While the Holy Spirit is a creation and a part of Brahman is in every human being. If pratima can we clean it, why do we not think and do to cleanse ourselves from sinful deeds which eventually pollute the sanctity of the Atman.
Let us try to realize this. Is not that vast oceans and water resources already exist within ourselves. Why do not we do the cleansing for the soul? Purification should not
determine when the time and where his place. Do it anytime and anywhere, with a quiet mind and be balanced with actions on the basis of Dharma.
The ceremony had boo-boo with a lit torch, beat gong, beating the ground with a wood or coconut midrib as we know it is meant to repel Butha Kala or similar disruptive of human life. More profound meaning not just the ceremony, but we need to realize that Butha At that time also is in us. We will be possessed by the nature of Butha if we do not hold firm belief in God Almighty and the teachings of the sacred that has been lowered.
Butha Kala always disturbing and will permeate every person who is not strong faith or no faith at all. Butha properties will appear in the person if the person is out of the track / rail Dharma. Wherever, wherever, and whenever, Butha it is always with us. This is evident in our everyday behavior that every moment can change your mind in an instant to perform an act which is not good, betraying the word conscience, menghkhianati truth. Butha is a picture of the passions, desires that are not controlled. Though conscience always reminds us, a whisper of Butha very often beat the power of human thought which tend to get something easy, do not pay attention to the interests of others and their environment, and want to win themselves. Surely this is very unfortunate, because we as humans have been given the grace of the glory of Tri Pramana (Word, Bayu, and IDEP). Man who could not use Tri Pramana gift it well, surely that violates human destiny. Bad karma that has been made to drag a man to Samsara cycle which will culminate in the rebirth of creation as being consistent with his behavior (his Karma) in a past life with the degree of degrees of living life under the human figure. Nyepi have a very deep meaning, not just welcome the coming New Year Caka, not just doing Tawur Kesanga. Nyepi carry meaning within every human being. With the welcome Nyepi Day, we are always reminded to reflect ourselves, see ourselves, how far do we go, is really step we take and do, have our actions be useful for myself and also for other human beings, for the environment around us. We should realize true, that Karma can not we make our own value as a whole with the mind counting. Good karma is not necessarily associated with a good reward. Do good must be based on sincerity without the slightest hope of reward. Suffice us to do good, do not need to be remembered or recounted to others that we have had good karma. It is fitting as the man who had faith we always decorate themselves with virtues. On Nyepi day is holy and peaceful, let us reflect for looking ahead, for always and always to do good deeds. Pursue spiritual life to the holy life. So many sacred teachings that we have left, with the new spirit we return to the sacred revelation. Let us open the veil of darkness that blanketed the holy spirit within ourselves, grow a sense of love and compassion, which in turn will deliver us into the light of Nirvana.
