Abstract

This study explores the moral consensus and divine function reflected in human multidimensional life through the Serat Driyabrata manuscript. Using a qualitative interpretive approach with Michael Riffaterre’s semiotic theory, the research reveals that moral order in human life is symbolically expressed through signs and teachings in the text. The meaning of compassionate behavior in Serat Driyabrata includes five elements: purifying the heart, living beneficially for others, lifelong sincere learning, eliminating arrogance (nar/api/iblis), and fostering gratitude with sincerity. Meanwhile, social solidarity in the manuscript is reflected through mutual deliberation, cooperation, mutual assistance, engagement in religious life, and mutual strengthening in facing challenges. These values symbolize togetherness and sincerity as the essence of harmonious social life envisioned in Serat Driyabrata, forming a system of ethical guidance for achieving perfection in life.
