SURGA TELAH MENCIUM DUNIA

Ketika tiba waktunya kelima bersaudara yang disebut Pandawa melakukan perjalanan menuju keabadian. Sesampainya di gerbang surga, si sulung Yudistira tinggal sendirian. Anjing yang selama ini setia menuntunnya lenyap berubah menjadi Batara Darma. Dalam kesendirian serta keheningan, sayup-sayup terdengar suara rintihan minta tolong. Yudistira menuju ke suara itu. terkesiaplah hatinya melihat pemandangan yang belum pernah dilihat selama hidupnya. Suasana sungguh mencekam, mengerikan, panas penuh rasa sakit. Lebih terkesiap lagi bahwa diantara mereka yang merintih adalah keempat adiknya. Mengapa bisa terjadi demikian? Bukankah selama hidup kami berlima selalu bersama-sama? Tetapi mengapa aku mendapat tempat yang berbeda?

Sejak masih di dunia Yudistira selalu berada pada suasana yang sejuk damai, sabar tawakal, narima prasaja, bersih jujur, pemaaf serta penuh kasih. Oleh karenanya Yudistira disebut sebagai ‘titah ajathasatru’ yang artinya manusia tak bermusuh. Hal-hal positif itulah yang kemudian  mengantar Yudistira masuk surga. Apa yang telah dirintis di dunia akan di abadikan dalam keabadian.

Heaven Has Kissed the World

There came the time for five brothers Pandavas to have their journey to eternity. On the gate of heaven, Yudhistira stayed alone without his brothers. His dog that always followed him transformed into Batara Darma, his father. In loneliness, Yudhistira heard a sound of people moaning and crying for help. He went to see where the sound came from. He was so shocked to see the view of hell. He became more shocked when he saw his brothers were among people in hell. How could that happen? They were always together all their lives, but why only Yudhistira got in heaven?

Yudhistira, since his life in the world had always been the peaceful, patient, honest, merciful, humble, and the loving one. So he was called as ‘titah ajathasatru’ or human without enemy. That positivities in his character brought him to heaven. What have been done on earth, would be immortalize in eternity.
