Multidimensional crisis had caused Kraton Mataram to be four small kingdoms. They are Kraton Surakarta, Kraton Y ogyakarta, Pura Mangkunegaran and Pura Pakualaman. The kings of Java did not have significant power. Their position was only as symbol, without authority. Politic and economic suffering had pushed them to shift public attention to literature, art, and culture that fill ethics and mysticism. One of the literatures that fill ethic and mysticism is Serat Bima Suci. Serat Bima Suci was created by Yasadipura I in the earlier period of Kraton Surakarta. Historically Serat Bima Suci is still related with kitab Nawaruci that was created by Empu Siwamurti in the end period of Majapahit Kingdom. Kitab Nawaruci is a literature of Javanese mysticism that is influenced by Hinduism doctrine. Serat Rima Suci is a literature of mysticism that has acculturation between Javanism, Hinduism, and Islamism. The harmony of relation between God, human, and world become focal of Serat Bima Suci. The relation between human and God theologically has been said as manunggaling kawula gusti and curiga manjing warangka. The relation among human and world anthropoecologically has been said as mangasah mingising budi, memasuh mafaning bumi, and memayu hayuning bawana that move to formation of }alma sulaksana, insan kamil, sarira bathara, a perfect human that has harmonized life between lahir bat in, jiwa-raga, intellectual-spiritual, and head-heart.

The education of perfect human character according to Serat Bima Suci is ordered by doing syariat-tarikat-hakikat-makrifat, sembah raga-sembah ciptasbnbah jiwa-sembah rasa. The four of doctrine are always troubled by human instinct. They are nafsu amarah-lawamah-sufryah, polemos-egocentros-eros. It is only instinct of mutmainah or religious that support the good conduct, so that men get safety in reaching the purpose of their life. There are kama-artha-dharma-moksa, enjoyment-prosperity-law-freedom, that all of them ought to do by examinating the life. There is suffering and difficulty.
