Siddhartha
THE BRAHIM'S SON
Despite [Siddhartha] solid spiritual upbringing among the Brahmins, Siddhartha still seeks the meaning of life, and he embarks on a quest to find enlightenment.
AWAKENING
Although Siddhartha barely realizes it, this supreme awareness brings him close to the unity he seeks.
THE SON
Many compelling reasons exist for Siddhartha to allow his son to return to the city, but, blinded by love, he forgets that enlightenment must come from within and tries to impose his views on his son
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.
GOVINDA
Siddhartha will guide those who need guidance, but he will not force his wisdom on those who do not wish to hear it.
OM
Through suffering, Siddhartha finds unity among his roles as father, traveler, and son, as well as unity between the past and future.
BY THE RIVER
Om conveys the very essence of life, and each time it appears in Siddhartha it brings Siddhartha back in touch with his pure and primal self.
GAUTAMA
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.
AMONG THE SAMANAS
[Siddhartha] attempts to escape from suffering lead only to further suffering, and the denial of time roots him even more firmly in the cycle of time.
THE FERRYMAN
Vasudeva reveals the true importance of the river to Siddhartha: the river can teach Siddhartha everything he needs to know, beginning with how to listen
AMONG THE CHILD PEOPLE
Yet at the same time, and almost without his knowing it, Siddhartha’s life in the world of Kama brings him the first of those virtues appropriate to a seeker of enlightenment.
KAMALA
Siddhartha’s encounters with the two women suggest that physical desire and sex are essential aspects of the material world he must explore.
