This study examines Javanese wisdom about God in the concept of manunggaling kawula Gusti from Georg Kirchberger’s view of the human experience of God. In the concept of manunggaling kawula Gusti, God is a sublime and high reality. Still, at the same time, Gusti is close to the human being as the bearer of the mandate of life. The teaching of manunggaling kawula Gusti wants to show the dimension of relationality between the Divine and humans. Georg Kirchberger’s view of God in the Christian tradition departs from various situations experienced by Christians. The Christian experience of God also shows that God is so great and sublime and so close and present in human life. The Jesus event indicates that God is both transcendent and immanent. The method used in this research is qualitative descriptive research. We collect data by interviewing several sources. In addition, previous studies as references support the data. Finally, this research aims to show that the concept of manunggaling kawula Gusti does not contradict the idea of monotheistic religions, one of which is Christianity.
