If you read this book when you are on a high, you will be grounded. Read it when things are low, life will make sense. The shocking simplicity and honesty of the narration opens the mind. It teaches you to make peace with every aspect of life. In this powerful narration, Herman Hesse creates a parallel spiritual order centered around each human being.
Siddhartha deals with all emotions and stages of life and priorities of man in each of these stages. Whats more, the consequences of these priorities are made crystal clear, without judgement.
The goodness, love and peace, that all of us so desperately seek, is within us. Once we find it, we will develop the ability to see the goodness in everything. A beautiful world already exists.
There is no propagation of religion. But there is faith. In a supreme force that the Om represents - the infinite force that each of our souls is linked to.
This book is beyond spiritual. To me, its the truth.
