Kindle Notes & Highlights
Experience is the aggregate of conscious events experienced by a human in life – it connotes participation, learning and knowledge. Understanding is comprehension and internalization.
understanding is attained not through scholastic, mind-dependent methods, nor through immersing oneself in the carnal pleasures of the world and the accompanying pain of samsara; however, it is the totality of these experiences that helps Siddhartha to attain understanding.
Weren’t the gods creatures, created just like you and I were: subject to time and transitory?
Why did he, who was irreproachable, have to wash out his sins every day, have to expend great effort once more to attain purification each and every day?
