Hermann Hesse
Self, Awakening, Desire, Silence, Inner Truth, Spiritual Journey
17. “I had to become a fool, to find Atman in me again. I had to sin, to be able to live again. Where else might my path lead me to? It is foolish, this path, it moves in loops, perhaps it is going around in a circle. Let it go as it likes, I want to to take it.” Hermann Hesse Fool, Atman, Path, Spiritual Journey, Personal Transformation, Existential Acceptance
19. “Siddhartha does nothing, he waits, he thinks, he fasts, but he passes through the things of the world like a rock through water, without doing anything, without stirring; he is drawn, he lets himself fall. His goal attracts him, because he doesn't let anything enter his soul which might oppose the goal.” Hermann Hesse Siddhartha, Goal, Soul, Spiritual Journey, Non-attachment, Focused Determination
24. “That I know nothing about myself, that Siddhartha has remained thus alien and unknown to me, stems from one cause, a single cause: I was afraid of myself, I was fleeing from myself! I searched Atman, I searched Brahmin, I was willing to dissect myself and peel off all of its layers, to find the core of all peels in its unknown interior, the Atman, life, the divine part, the ultimate part. But I have lost myself in the process.” Hermann Hesse Myself, Searched, Lost, Self-discovery, Spiritual Journey, Existential Alienation
25. “No, there was no teaching a truly searching person, someone who truly wanted to find, could accept. But he who had found, he could approve of any teachings, every path, every goal, there was nothing standing between him and all the other thousand any more who lived in that what is eternal, who breathed what is divine.” Hermann Hesse Searching, Found, Divine, Spiritual Journey, Personal Enlightenment, Universal Acceptance
