Spiritual Therapy for an Acutely Sick Nation

The furthest spiritual journey is to enter the depths of one’s own soul and mind. In the deepest depths, humans will find happiness that is indescribable even by the most brilliant artist.
So it is true when spiritual travelers say that happiness does not fall from the sky. It must be found from within oneself. So the essence of the spiritual journey is not outward as many Westerners believe, but the real spiritual journey is to explore the depths of one’s own mind.
The sign of the truth of the spiritual trail is as believed by Muslims, that God is closer than one’s own veins. Because pilgrimage is just recreation to refresh oneself. There is no mysticism that is often gossiped about by many people because they have not been able to enter the truly sacred spiritual realm but are enjoyed like fasting to obtain a more exciting inner atmosphere in sensory sensitivity that works optimally, so that hunger presents a spiritual sensation to see more sharply many things that are not visible to the naked eye, then hear a soft voice from the edge of the sky.
That is how the language of the earth can be revealed. The verses of the self can be read clearly and definitely, as has been written and implied in the sunnatullah which was previously only a secret of God. In fact, through a letter sent from the sky, His wise advice to read and read which is full of warnings to be carried out continuously is also attached. Because the content of wisdom and meaning is full of policies that can and should be used as a guide.
That is the clear spiritual path to embrace happiness in a little, but sufficient possession. Like simplicity that is measured never excessive. Then enjoy all that comes or goes with full sincerity and gratitude without needing to be measured. Because awareness with sufficient understanding, never excessive. Because the measure is certain, it will never be less, nor will it ever be more.
Simplicity in a humble attitude has finished to no longer be calculated with profit or loss. Because the material is really a little spiritual content that can be squeezed from its essence.
Therefore, spirituality is increasingly believed by many people as a chronic psychological therapy contaminated with a corruption virus that cannot be cured by political clinics or cooperatives of successful entrepreneurs through their sprawling businesses. Because the chronic disease that eats away at the rich who always feel poor, exactly the trauma of the rulers who are always overshadowed and chased by the ghost of power syndrome.
So, spirituality as a therapy for a nation that is acutely ill – unethical, with rotten morals and ethics – can only be cured by undergoing spiritual therapy to drain the damage to the mind and soul that may have become rotten.
