| Abstract
|
:
|
In Indonesia, kebatinan is generally considered mysticism, in particular the spiritual approach to life in the Surakarta and Yokyakarta sultanates, the Javanese heartland. The term derives from the Arabic bāṭin , the inner or internal, particularly the mental, spiritual, and esoteric. As a practice, kebatinan is the cultivation of one’s inner being or secret self and the honing of one’s intuition (Indon., rasa ) as the way to truth, to being in step with the pre-ordained order of existence, and ultimately to intuiting its presence in one’s bāṭin .
