Siddartha, a good book...


This time I am going to talk about Siddartha, a book of Herman Hesse.

This is a story about a man (Siddartha) who left from his family accompanied by a friend (Govinda). They wanted to found their real ways in life. They walk long distances, for long time. They learn to fast, meditate and wait. These skills will serve to them in the future. They met Buda, and Govinda unlike Siddartha stay with him. After that, Siddartha met Kamala, and she teaches him the art of love. But, the search of protagonist for find the truth about his life, leads him to leave his partner. Time after that reunited with Govinda Siddartha. And Govinda finally realizes about perfection of his old friend.

I liked this book, because the protagonist present the best way of thinking, he thinks assertively.

I read it the last year, and this book came to me through a friend who gave it to me.

I read it because my friend told me that this book would help me in the future. And I believed in him. Now I think he was right.

I found interesting the internal force of Siddartha related with search of perfection. And the best thing

And most salvageable, as a lesson, this book preaches that you should not follow the master to find answers in your life, but yourself with your own experience. And with the help of the rest you should get your own answers. And each one will serve their own experience and not the rest.
