Siddhartha
The Brahmin’s Son😭
"Despite his solid spiritual upbringing among the Brahmins, Siddhartha still seeks the meaning of life, and he embarks on a quest to find enlightenment. "
With the Samanas🙏🏾
"The Samanas believe that enlightenment can be found only through the denial of flesh and worldly desires."
Gotama🌍🙅🏽
"However, Siddhartha has already realized during his time with the Samanas that he cannot reach enlightenment by rejecting the world of the Self and the world of the body."
Awakening😳👺
"Here, in the midst of what exists within him and around him, Siddhartha must discover who and what he is."
Kamala👸🏽
"His increased awareness of the sensory world, apparent from the beginning of this chapter, demonstrates that he is allowing the world to influence him."
Amongst the People👪
"Siddhartha’s decision to exploit the senses, instead of denying them, draws him into the world of time and average people."
Samsara💀
"However, perfection leaves little room for variety or spontaneity, and Siddhartha discovers that he has become a slave to the very thing he has mastered, with no possible relief from the cycle of predictable events."
By the River🌊
"When Siddhartha encounters the river, he realizes that the past is essential to life but does not determine the future."
The Ferryman👷
"However, in Vasudeva, Siddhartha finds the ideal teacher—in a sense, a teacher who does not teach. Vasudeva himself admits he is not a teacher: “If I could talk and teach, I would perhaps be a teacher, but as it is I am only a ferryman,”"
The Son👳🏽
"Siddhartha has learned for himself that no one can teach enlightenment, and that enlightenment must be found within. "
Om❤️
"Siddhartha’s difficulty with giving up his son suggests that love is the toughest challenge Siddhartha has faced during his quest and that Siddhartha is actually no different than anyone who has experienced love."
Govinda🌱🌲🌳🐴
"Siddhartha says that while teachers such as Gotama and the Samanas insist that Nirvana is a state that can be obtained one day, Nirvana is actually going on all around us."
