Siddhartha

Author: Hermann Hesse

“Siddhartha” by Hermann Hesse is a profound journey of self-discovery and enlightenment. Set in ancient India, it follows Siddhartha, a young man who leaves his comfortable life in search of deeper meaning. Along the way, he encounters various teachers and experiences the highs and lows of life, from asceticism to indulgence. Hesse’s lyrical prose and philosophical insights make this a timeless read that resonates deeply with anyone on their own path to understanding.

When someone is seeking, said Siddhartha, it happens quite easily that he only sees the thing that he is seeking; that he is unable to find anything, unable to absorb anything, because he is only thinking of the thing he is seeking, because he has a goal, because he is obsessed with his goal.
