Siddhartha

Siddhartha Kısa Özet
Hindistan’da yaşayan genç bir Brahman olan Siddhartha, varlıklı ve ayrıcalıklı hayatını bırakır ve öz benliğini bulmak için yola çıkar. Nirvana’ya giden dönemeçli yolda güzel bir kadının kollarından, şöhretin ve zenginliğin tuzaklarından geçecek ve anlamın öğretilemeyeceğini, ancak deneyimlenebileceğini görecektir; aydınlanmaya yalnız aramayı bıraktığı zaman ulaşacağını anlayacaktır.
1922’de yayımlandığından beri milyonlarca insana kılavuzluk eden Siddhartha, Doğu ve Batı din geleneklerini psikanaliz ve psikolojiyle birleştiren, insanlığa dair derin bir empati duygusuyla yazılmış, 20. yüzyılın ortaya çıkardığı en önemli ve en sarsıcı alegorilerden biri.

““Did not Atman dwell inside him, did not the primal source flow within his own heart?””
Siddhartha • Hermann Hesse
“″“Today, we’ll hear the teachings from his mouth.” said Govinda. Siddhartha did not answer. He felt little curiosity for the teachings, he did not believe that they would teach him anything new, but he had, just as Govinda had, heard the contents of this Buddha’s teachings again and again, though these reports only represented second- or third-hand information. But attentively he looked at Gotama’s head, his shoulders, his feet, his quietly dangling hand, and it seemed to him as if every joint of every finger of this hand was of these teachings, spoke of, breathed of, exhaled the fragrant of, glistened of truth. This man, this Buddha was truthful down to the gesture of his last finger. This man was holy. Never before, Siddhartha had venerated a person so much, never before he had loved a person as much as this one.””
