The arrival of Dewa Suksma Ruci was a sign of divine acceptance for Bima 'Samadi, the unity of servant (Kawulo) and Master (Gusti). Inside the paningal (inner sight), Bima could see everything, everything opened (tinarbuka), clear, no more secret. Bima has been given the most important lesson in his life, that in his innermost being, he is at one with the divine, indivisible. He has achieved the true reality.
