For the Javanese people, God is an indescribable entity, transcending space and time. He is not only the creator of the universe but also accompanies humanity through His instruments or forces. Moreover, He resides within individuals who have discovered Him.
In Javanese philosophy, God's protective presence is embodied in four siblings and the fifth, the center. These symbolic elements represent:
1. Four siblings : The four fluids accompanying human life, symbolizing divine protection.
2. The center : The individual's inner self, housing God's presence.
3. Amniotic fluid : Representing divine protection and care.
4. Placenta : Symbolizing sustenance and livelihood.
This philosophical framework underscores the intimate connection between God, humanity, and the natural world, emphasizing spiritual harmony and balance.
