Excerpt from "Siddhartha"

Excerpts from "Siddhartha"#

He had learned how to silently recite "Om" - the essence of this mantra: silently reciting it in his mind while inhaling, and gathering all his spirit while exhaling. At that moment, his forehead seemed to radiate a pure light of the soul. He had learned how to deeply perceive the Atman - the eternal and undying, the oneness with the universe.#

They were indeed very knowledgeable, but if they did not understand that one important thing, the only important thing, then is it still worth knowing all of the above?#

Why did he, who was blameless, have to bathe and try to wash away his sins every day?#

All of this is not worth considering, everything is deception, everything emits the stench of lies; whether it is happiness or beauty, it is only an illusion created by the senses, destined to decay. The world is full of suffering, life is suffering.#

Conquering old desires, new desires arise.#

His serene expression was neither joyous nor sad. He seemed to emit a gentle smile from within. He walked calmly and peacefully, with a mysterious smile, no different from the smile of a healthy baby.#

Let me tell you, seekers of knowledge, not to get entangled in the quagmire of debates and conflicts of words. Words are meaningless, they can be beautiful or ugly, clever or foolish, and anyone can accept or reject them. However, what you have heard is not my words, and its purpose is not to explain the world to those who seek knowledge. Its purpose is different: it is to transcend suffering and attain salvation, which is what Gautama preaches, and nothing more.#

I have no right to judge the lives of others, I must make judgments for myself. I must choose or reject.#

Meaning and reality are not hidden behind things, but reside within the things themselves, within all phenomena of things.#

When a person reads a book they are studying, they do not despise the letters and punctuation of the book and dismiss them as illusions, as meaningless accidental shells,#

Siddhartha thought, this kind of life has no difficulties. When I was still a Samana, everything was difficult and troublesome, and ultimately hopeless. But now everything is very easy, as easy as the command of Kamala's kiss. I need clothes and money, that's all. These are simple goals that will not disturb a person's sleep.#

He also does not need to be excited, he is only led and allows himself to sink. He is only drawn by his own goals, and he does not allow anything that disturbs his goals to enter his state of mind.#

Nothing is driven by divine beings, there are no divine beings in the world. As long as one can think, wait, and fast. Anyone can perform magic, anyone can achieve their goals." Kamala listened quietly, she loved#

I have not harmed myself or others with feelings of annoyance and impatience. If I have the opportunity to go there again, perhaps I will go to buy rice, or maybe for other things, and the friends there will surely welcome me.#

However, he always felt different and carried a sense of superiority. He always looked at the world with a bit of contempt, with a mocking disdain, just as a Samana always feels towards worldly people.#

The profound sense of importance that people hold for their own lives, their deep joy and sorrow, and the anxiety and sweet happiness brought to them by the endless drive to love. These people forever love themselves, love their children, love honor and gain, love planning and anticipating the future.#

and then return to the impulse of seeking and accumulating wealth. In this meaningless cycle, he exhausts himself, becoming old and sickly.#

In this meaningless cycle, he exhausts himself, becoming old and sickly.#

He ardently desires emptiness, tranquility, and death. Let a lightning strike destroy him! Let a tiger devour him! If there were some strong liquor, some poison that could give him nothingness, make him forget, let him sleep forever, how good would that be.#

He is already seeking death. The naive desire to find peace by destroying the physical body is so strong within him.#

He saw the continuous flow of the river, yet at the same time, it existed constantly without change; the river is always flowing and yet always new.#

The river is present everywhere at the same time, from its source to its mouth, from waterfalls to ferry crossings, from streams to oceans, and between mountains; on the other hand, it only exists for itself now, not as a shadow of the past or the future."#

The unattainable, the future mind is unattainable, all things are as they are, all enter the present moment.#

All things are as they are, all enter the present moment.#

Let him die, what does it have to do with our children?#

Siddhartha's thinking at this moment was so childish, so lacking in logic, that he became so similar to ordinary people.#

And all sounds, all goals, all desires, all good and evil, all sadness and joy, all of these together constitute a unified world,#

When a person has a pursuit," Siddhartha said, "they only see what they are pursuing. The reason they find nothing, gain nothing, is because they only focus on what they are pursuing, because they are obsessed with their own goals.#

Therefore, I believe that all existence is supreme - whether it is death or life, sin or piety, wisdom or foolishness, everything is necessary, everything only requires my willing acceptance, everything only needs my understanding and love.#
