The book has been translated German to English by Hilda Rosner.
The journey of Siddhartha starts as a Brahmin. He decides to leave his family to become a Samana. He learns three different skills like to think, wait and fast but still he was in thrust of seeking knowledge and learns the complete world by travelling. His ongoing journey has met him with different people like Buddha from him he gets that nothing can be taught without leaning and seeking by yourself. Still he was not satisfied then he met a beautiful woman namely Kamala. She was traveller and he learns from her the art of love.
Life is meaningless without love and attraction. As Siddhartha was loved by his family, friends and society but he still thought that something was missing around him. The first love of Siddhartha was his father but later he clashes with him because of Samana. He runs here and there in search of enlightenment, he learns many things and ultimately he discovers the law of attraction where he meets a beautiful girl Kamala who teaches him about love. Most interestingly he got many things in shape earning money, wearing clothes so that he should get love. He spent his complete life for trying to find the route to happiness and get money. The golden words of Siddhartha inspires everyone about the love attraction, “when I came to you in your grove I made the first step. I was my intention to learn about from the most beautiful woman from would moment. I made that resolution I aslo know that I would execute it. I knew that you would help; I knew it from your first glance of the entrance to the grove.”
“But do you not mean that the river is everywhere at once, at its origin and at its mouth, at the waterfall, at the ferry, at the rapids, in the sea, in the mountains, everywhere at the same time, and for it only the present exists, no shadow of the past, no shadow of the future?”
Siddhartha is a masterpiece. It is the liver of wisdom. It teaches you many things and you will love reading this book as much as I did. The one who is a seeker and reader should read this book as it helps to understand the quest for wisdom and enlightenment that everybody runs to get.
