RS text is one of the classical Javanese literature works that contains many elements of Javanese religion, one of them is sasmita. This study discusses the link between sasmita and life cycle in Javanese culture that contained in RS text. The purpose of this study is to outline the link between sasmita and the life cycle in the RS text. The method used in this study is hermeneutics using the antroporeligio literary perspective. The hermeneutics method is used to describe as well as analyze the results obtained from the analysis as it is. The result of this research is the life cycle of sasmita that describes the phases of the birth of human inner consciousness until the separation of the soul and its attachment. These phases are used by Javanese people to understand various things that are around them not as an individual, but as unity. This study is one of cultural heritage and also can be a reference in future research for personal and others.
