Status Updates From Siddhartha

Eu não gosto de terminar um livro … 👎🏾👎🏾👎🏾

labi , ka lasu latviešu valodā, katru reizi kad piemin kaut ko par mango mizu es sasmejos

“I had to become a fool, to find Atman in me again. I had to sin, to be able to live again.”

Feels like reading a wikipedia page but more fun

Primer clásico que leo desde la universidad! Vamos a ver qué onda

its a cycle. The way that he left his father is the same way that his son left him. He did not go back to his father and could he judge or feel a way if his son also choose to not go back? How could he not see, or more so he was sinking in his grief and could not reflect on his own pas choices. The river mocked him for even now in his wise age he was not able to understand.

It makes me sad to think that Siddhartha had to come to the realization that he had to leave his son. That he had to choose his own path on his terms. He finally learned love with his son and had to let him go.

Kamala died and he met his son.

He accepted that he was not able to accept the teachings of the Buddha. So pride, at this moment is no longer clouding his vison.

He realizes after learning about time that suffering, agony and most things in life take time. That most things can be overcome with time.

He finally realized that he really did not know and it was pride and ego that made him think that way

I might be rethinking my review on this book. This was his enlightened moment. The true one.

he became what he mocked

"Still he felt that he was different from the others and superior to them"
This is what i was feeling! He thinks himself more than others and how can we speak so highly of a man that sees everyone else's faults but his own.

and yet again he is not fulfilled

also there is a passage that states that Siddhartha did not listen to the merchants worries or how he felt. So he knew that he had troubles and yet it seems almost like they were very low on his list of things to pay attention to. almost fickle. he believes himself better than many.

i am perceiving Siddhartha as someone who want to learn so much and yet makes people feel or believes them to be less than bc they do not think like him or maybe they do not know as much as he does. a bit condescending. Maybe i'm missing the point of this

He has renounced most worldly possessions and yet he wants to attain them again to learn love from Kamala. Interesting

Has he found meaning? or just been awaked to the truth?

He realized that the answers were inside him. That he has been trying to learn so much from so many things and yet he did not stop to learn about himself and just sit and ingest it all. His spiritual awakening

He feels like he left his old self with the Buddha's teachings. His friend but also I think he realized what his goal was

So he believes that teachers and learning are not what will help him, but to continue and journey and experience life and that way he may fund what he is looking for

he's met another & also found flaws. He is roaming looking to be fulfilled and even this Buddha is not what he can accept. but its also interesting that the Buddha tells him to beware of the inquisitiveness as the purpose of HIS teachings are to deliver those from suffering. kind of like he's missing the point of the teachings. its okay to question, but too much and what do you have? more questions & never fulfilled

This book holds a bitter place in my heart, but I think I am loving this book nevertheless 🤗

Or maybe Siddhartha realized that what he wanted to learn or more so what he wanted to quench would not be filled by the Samana's. He had learned all that they had and it was not enough and it never would be.

It seems like he's having an existential crisis over his decisions and is now wondering why he would choose to do this (my perception)

I think the changes that Siddhartha was seeking are not what he expected Govinda is trying to encourage Siddhartha but i think that he's losing faith or more so its becoming to much in this moment. He wondering why he's doing this and if the oldest of them have not yet reached Nirvana, the what hope is there for him? Why not just be with the lesser people and learn all the same things but in maybe a bit more comfort?

I love these types of stories

Siddharta has a hell of a CV that’s for sure

love it
