Perjalanan IV [11]/The Journey IV [11]
 

hari-hari terus kulalui.....

detik demi detik, saat adanya kehidupan terus kujalani,

 

apakah aku sudah mencapai tujuan,

 

he...he..he...

 

"seperti pungguk merindukan bulan",

 

sungguh....

 

kalau Imam Ghozali menceritakan ada tujuh tanjakan yang mesti dilalui,

ada tujuh gunung mesti di daki,

ada tujuh lembah yang mesti diterjuni,

dan ada tujuh samudra yang mesti diarungi,

 

maka, ibarat melangkah,

mungkin baru satu atau dua langkah kujalani,

atau bahkan mungkin aku masih jalan di tempat,

atau bahkan aku belum melangkah sama sekali,

hanya seolah-olah sudah melangkah,

 

Aku jadi ingat cerita Syeh Fariduddin al Aththar,

di dalam kitab beliau "Musyawarah Burung"

 

ketika beribu-ribu burung mulai terbang mencari Simurgh,

mencari Raja diraja segala Burung,

Masih berlipat-lipat banyaknya yang tidak mau berangkat,

dengan berbagai alasannya yang sangat-sangat masuk akal,

dengan berbagai alasannya yang dikuatkan dalil-dalil,

 

Sampai satu ketika, lewatlah mereka yang terbang di gunung yang pertama,

Sebagian mati terhempas,

sebagian mati kepayahan,

sebagian mati terkena angin,

sebagian mati terbakar.

 

Hanya tinggal separo yang masih meneruskan perjalanannya,

 

Perjalanan dilanjutkan,

 

Beribu burung terus terbang menuju satu tujuan,

sampailah mereka di gunung yang kedua,

sebagian mati terhempas,

sebagian mati terkena badai,

sebagian mati terpanggang,

sebagian mati kepayahan,

 

Hanya tinggal setengah yang masih eneruskan perjalanan,

 

Perjalanan dilanjutkan,

sampailah di gunung ketiga,

kejadian sama berulang,

sampailah di gunung keempat,

kejadian sama berulang,

sampailah di gunung ke lima,

kejadian sama berulang,

sampailah di gunung ke enam,

kejadian sama berulang,

dan akhirnya.....

sampailah melewati gunung yang ketujuh,

 

Maka tinggallah 30 burung yang tersisa,

 

dari jutaan burung menjadi tinggal ribuan, dari ribuan menjadi tinggal ratusan,

dan kini tinggal 30 burung yang sampai di tempat yang di tuju.

 

Tapi ...dimanakah Simurgh,

Raja diraja yang dijanjikan,

 

Dalam kelelahan yang luar biasa,

Kepenatan yang luar biasa,

Kecapaian yang luar biasa,

 

terdengarlah suara,

"Wahai para pejalan, tidak ada SImurgh di sini"

"Tidak ada Raja segala raja di sini",

"Yang engkau cari tidak ada",

 

Maka berbaliklah sebagian besar dari burung-burung itu dengan wajah keputus 
asaan,

Mereka terbang pulang dengan kekecewaan dan keputusasaan yang mendalam.

 

Hanya sebagian kecil saja yang masih tetap berada di situ.

 

terdengarlah lagi suara

"Apa lagi yang engkau cari ?"

"Lihatlah dirimu sendiri",

 

Maka burung yang masih tinggal di situ,

menatap sayu,

melihat ke dalam diri masing-masing,

maka tampaklah sudah wajah Simurgh yang dicarinya,

 

"Man arofa nafsahu, faqod arofa robbahu",

 

Duh,.......

bagaimanakah nasibku nanti ???

sampai dimanakah bisa kutempuh perjalanan ini ????

 

Aku terdiam merenung,

dan kesedihan serasa hampir membawaku ke dalam lembah keputusasaan.

 

"perjalanan sedemikian jauh,

sedangkan bekal masih terbatas,

 

tanjakan-tanjakan sedemikian banyak,

sedang ilmuku masih terbatas,

 

jebakan dan tipuan sedemikian banyak,

sedangkan aku tidak tahu, mana itu tipuan dan mana itu jebakan",

 

Ooh...bagaimana aku bisa selamat ??

 

tiba-tiba terdengar suara,

"Beruntunglah engkau......yang sudah mau memulai untuk berjalan menujuKU"

"Seandainya engkau merangkak kepadaKU, AKU akan berjalan menujumu,

Seandainya engkau berjalan menujuKU, AKU akan berlari menujumu,

Seandainya engkau berlari mendekatiku, AKU akan terbang menghampirimu,

Sesungguhnya AKU bersama orang-orang yang SABAR"

 

"Dan ketika engkau mencintaiKU,

maka ketika engkau berbicara,

AKUlah yang menjadi lidahmu,

Ketika engkau berjalan, AKUlah yang menjadi kakimu,

ketika melempar, AKUlah yang menjadi tanganmu"

PERJALANAN IV (11)

 

 

Day by day I continuously passing by,

Second by second, when life is overtaken I continuously undergo,

Have I reached the destiny?

He. he. he.

 

"Like an owl yearning for the moon"

 

Indeed.

 

If Imam Ghazali mentioned that 

There are seven stages that must be passed through,

There are seven mountains must to be climbed

There are seven valleys must be jumped in

And there are seven oceans must be crossed,

 

Then, just like walking,

Maybe it was just one or two steps I have taken,

Or it could be that I'm still afoot on where I start 

Or it could be that I have never taken a step at all,

It only looks like I have walk,

 

I then recall the story of Syeikh Fariduddin al Aththar,

In his book of "The Conference of The Birds"

 

When thousands of birds started to fly looking for Simurgh,

Looking for the King of all Birds,

There are still many more of them which don't want to depart,

With so many reasons that it seems to be very logical,

With many kinds of reason which is enforced by argumentations,

 

Until one time, those which fly is passing the first mountain,

Some are death because of being dashed,

Some are death because of fatigue,

Some are death because of being blown away,

Some are death because of being burned.

 

Only half of them still continue their journey.

 

The journey continue,

 

Thousands of birds keep flying toward one goal,

Till they reach the second mountain,

Some died because of being dashed,

Some died because of storm,

Some died because of roasted,

Some died because of fatigue.

 

Only half of them still continue their journey.

 

The journey continue,

Till they reach the third mountain,

Same things happened,

Till they reach the fourth mountain,

Same things happened,

Till they reach the fifth mountain,

Same things happened,

Till they reach the sixth mountain,

Same things happened,

And at last.

They pass the seventh mountain.

 

It left only 30 birds.

 

From millions of birds only left thousands, from thousands only left hundreds, 
and now it left only 30 birds which can arrive to the destination.

 

But. where is Simurgh,

The Promised King of All Kings,

 

In the incredible fatigue,

In the incredible tiredness,

In the incredible exhaustion,

 

A voice was heard of, 

"Oh Travelers, there is no Simurgh here"

"There is no King of All Kings here"

"What your are looking for doesn't exist"

 

Then most of the birds return with desperate look,

They fly home with disappointment and deep desperation.

 

Only very few are still remaining there.

 

Then a voice was heard of again

"What else are you looking for?"

"Look within yourself"

 

So the birds which still remain there,

Observe melancholically

Looking into their own self,

Then it appears the face of Simurgh they looking for.

 

"Man arofa nafsahu, faqod arofa robbahu",

 

Oh my..

How will my fate be???

How far can I endure this journey???

 

I reflect silently,

And sadness seems almost drowning me into the valley of desperation.

 

"The journey is so far,

Yet the provisions is still limited,

 

The stages are so much,

Yet my knowledge is still limited,

 

Trap and deceit are so much,

Yet I don't know which is trap and which deceit is."

 

Oh. how can I be saved???

 

Suddenly a voice was heard of,

"Lucky is you..  Who has wish to begin walking to ME"

If you are crawling to ME, I will walk to you,

If you are walking to ME, I will run to you,

If you are running to ME, I will fly to you,

Surely I am with those who is PATIENT"

 

"And if you love ME,

Then when you talk, it is ME, who will be your tongue,

When you walk, it is ME, who will be your foot,

When you throw, it is ME who will be your hand"
