Haven't we read this many times? Have you not heard about loving each other and love yourself? Have you not heard and read about to close your eyes and stay in silence? Have you not heard to eat this and that and which food is good and bad? Have you ever wondered about when to know you can trust those helping books, those yoga session or promises of meditations lifting up your spirit?
Well, there is one book to give you a guide. One book to read and clear your mind. One book to be astonish, to smile and be afraid of when reading, while you long for more to read in the same time. One book to make you understand what does your path means and why do you live the way you do and how it comes you never reached your destiny yet.
Yes, it's an old book and from a time where people did the same as we do today. Searching for answers, searching for peace and searching for easy ways.
That book, very light written, but in no way boring, playing in another time and land will show you with its story how a man can change back and forth and finally understand, what he's up to and how he wants to live.
This book tells you about a man who is giving up again a life style one after the other. A man who really tries everything to master silence, peace and to be without wish and to be therefore happy and wealthy. This man and his story shows you that you can go many ways but each way can lead to nowhere and anywhere, because it is up to you.
This man is called Siddhartha.
Hermann Hesse has written many books but this one I recommend warmly as it is about us, you and me and the truth we still not live after.
A spiritual book, not being spiritual like in our days, but just being a book, a story which makes you feel the spirits nature.
It's not a big book, nor a book with many sides. But it contains a lifetime.
In a language which is smooth and soft, but growls into you.
This is my second recommendation for the autumn of books.
Yes, another old writer, which is also dead but should be known still, again and again... and again....
Take Siddhartha home!
Love & Light
