[bali-bali] This always bugs me....

Di pura biasanya kita sembahyang di beberapa merajan. Ada merajan
agung, merajan alit, dll. Saya jadi heran, assuming tuhan hanya ada
satu, kenapa kita harus mengulang-ngulang permintaan kita (dalam waktu
hampir bersamaan, walau tempat berbeda, hanya dipisahkan jarak
beberapa meter)? Kalau asumsinya sebaliknya (tuhan ada banyak), lebih
masuk akal. Jadi, untuk membuat segalanya masuk akal bagi saya, saya
asumsikan aja banyak tuhan (entah berjenjang, ada semacam dewan tuhan
dengan flat-organization, tidak relevan), jadi inilah doa saya:
-----
Hi god A, you heard what I asked to god B, right? So I'm asking for
the same thing from you. Thanks in advance.

Lagi-lagi di pura, ada tempat di mana kita memuja leluhur. Fine, I
have no problem with that (paying respect to ancestor). Tapi,
bagaimana kalau leluhur2 kita itu sudah bereinkarnasi? Dengan asumsi
jiwa mengambil tubuh baru __segera___ setelah dia meninggalkan badan
lama, berarti semua leluhur sudah bereinkarnasi.... Tapi, tentu saja
kita tidak tahu apakah asumsi itu benar atau salah, mungkin
prosesreinkarnasi bervariasi kecepatannnya, jadi masih ada leluhur
yang nge-tem. Jadi inilah doa saya:
-----
Hi grandpa, and great great great grandpas and grandmas too, I hope
you guys haven't reincarnated, yet. Otherwise, you would be as mortal
as I am, and wouldn't be listening to me, right. Ha ha ha. Allright,
here's what I want: a, b, c ,d ,e. Hello? Are you listening to me? Are
you even there? Anyway, thanks, bye.
