Kartini, Longing on Dark Light in the Midst

-salim fillah; author of the book 'Agar Bidadari Cemburu Padamu'-

Searching the various studies on related Kartini do with spirituality and Islam, then at least we will find the four points of view;
FIRST: That the Kartini is a pure Java, which was oriented on the spiritual side of what is referred to as Javanese. "As a Javanese who lives in the neighborhood mysticism",
writes Artawijaya in his article for VOA-ilsam.com, "Kartini picture about the human relationship with God is also the same: subjects manunggaling gusti. Therefore, in her letters, Kartini wrote of God as "Father." In addition, Kartini also call God by the term "Truth", "Kindness", "Conscience", and "Light", as reflected in his letters the following:
"Our God is conscience, hell and heaven is our conscience. By doing evil, we who condemn our conscience. By doing a virtue, conscience we who give alms."(Letter to the E. Kartini C Abendanon, 15 August 1902)"Kindness and God are one." (Kartini Letter to Mrs Nellie van Kol, 20 August 1902)
