Description of manuscript content:

The manuscript contains a collection of suluk.

Other notes:

The word ‘suluk’ comes from ‘salik’ which means ‘getting closer to God’. The Javanese from Cirebon and Indramayu understand this in the form of tĕmbang macapat poems. Sufi teachings have been changed into mystical Sufi poems. The people here are convinced that people are manifestations of God. However, to reach the level of true awareness, various spiritual stations have to be passed. Suluks from the north coast reveal the essence of the true self.
