Siddhartha Reading Blog section 2


Dear Siddhartha,

During these three chapters you have had a significant change in your life. You decided to not belong to a community a travel alone when you left Govinda behind with Buddha. You took a brave decision; now you don't depend on anyone's teaching, and you're getting closer to your inner-peace. I think you will be able to find enlightenment if you learn from yourself.

A teacher I know took similar decisions as you recently did. He wanted to find happiness in what he did, and being an engineer wasn't something he enjoyed. He decided to quit and travel the world on his own. He went all over Central America and volunteered for the communities. There, he found his true self and his passion. My teacher enjoyed helping others, and that's why he then decided to become a professor. "I learned more about myself throughout that year than in my whole life," he says. Thus, I support you with your decision.

All the people you have met on your way have helped you in some way for guidance.  Kamala, for example, helped you get a job, clothes, and a home. If your inner self hadn't told you that you loved her, maybe you wouldn't be as happy as you currently are. There is more to come, so I suggest you to continue with your quest. I assure you that you’ll reach your goal if you listen to your mind.

Cheers to inner peace!
