Siddhartha

He is loved by everyone. He is a source of joy for everybody, but he, Siddhartha, is not a source of joy for himself, he finds no delight in himself.

Siddhartha has started to nurse discontent in himself, he has started to feel that the love of his father and his mother, and love of his friend, will not bring him joy forever and ever, will not nurse him, freed him, satisfy him.

Siddhartha has many queries in his mind like as, ‘Do the sacrifices give a happy fortune?’, ‘What about the Gods?’, ‘Was it really Prajapati who had created the world?’ ‘Was it not the ‘Atman’, the singular one?’ 

Siddharatha meets his father and says, ‘With your permission, my father, I have come to tell you that it is my longing to leave your house tomorrow and go to ascetics. My desire is to become a Samara.’

His father says-’You will go into the go forest and be a Samara , when you will find blissfulness in the forest, come back and teach me to be blissful.’

This is just an excerpt, the whole book consists of spiritualistic way of narration, thus becomes interesting one. Once you start reading can’t resist to leave the book in the mid.
