We who bore the mark, felt no anxiety about the shape the future was to take. All of these faiths and teachings seemed to us already dead and useless. The only duty and destiny we acknowledged was that each one of us should become so completely himself, so utterly faithful to the active seed which nature planted within him, that in living out its growth he could be surprised by nothing unknown to come.

On no morning of his life had he ever been in good spirits nor done any good before midday, nor ever had a happy idea, nor devised any pleasure for himself or others. By degrees during the afternoon he warmed and became alive, and only towards evening, on his good days, was he productive, active and, sometimes, aglow with joy. With

Have you also learned that secret from the river; that there is no such thing as time? That the river is everywhere at the same time, at the source and at the mouth, at the waterfall, at the ferry, at the current, in the ocean and in the mountains, everywhere and that the present only exists for it, not the shadow of the past nor the shadow of the future.

Although his colleagues teased him that he had become a monk, Hesse felt he had finally succeeded in achieving what he had yearned for years earlier when, at the height of his restlessness as a husband and father, he had proclaimed: "I would give my left hand if I could again be a poor happy bachelor and own nothing but twenty books, a second pair of boots, and a box full of secretly composed poems."

But stronger than his knowledge was his love for the boy, his devotion, his fear of losing him. Had he ever lost his heart to anybody so completely, so painfully, so hopelessly and yet so happily?

And at that point the realization suddenly burned me like a searing flame: For each person there was an "office," but for nobody was there one that he was permitted to choose for himself, to define, and to fill according to his own wishes. It was wrong to desire new gods, it was totally wrong to try and give the world anything! There was no duty for enlightened people, none, none, except this: to seek themselves, to become certain of themse..

Una vaga desilusion fue debilitando y esfumando mis sentimientos y mis alegrias habituales; el jardin no tenia perfume, el bosque no me atraia, el mundo se extendia alrededor de mi como un saldo de trastos viejos, insipido y desencantado; los libros eran papel; la musica, ruido. No de otro modo pierde sus hojas el arbol otonal en torno de si. No lo siente, y la lluvia, la escarcha y el sol resbalaban por su tronco, mientras su vida se retir..

A pesar de todo, era casi un placer sufrir estos tormentos. Llevaba yo tanto tiempo arrastrandome ciego e insensible por la vida, y mi corazon habia callado ya tan largamente, empobreciendose confinado en un angulo oscuro, que hasta aquellos reproches y aquel horror que contraian mi alma eran los bienvenidos. Era, por fin, un sentimiento, un sentimiento que ardia en llamas y en el que latia un corazon. Desconcertado, sentia en medio de mi a..

Lo que hoy existe no es comunidad: es, simplemente, rebano. Los hombres se unen porque tienen miedo unos de otros, y cada uno se refugia en los suyos. Los senores, en su rebano; los obreros, en el suyo; los intelectuales en otro... ?Y por que tienen miedo? Se tiene miedo cuando no se esta de acuerdo consigo mismo. Tienen miedo porque no se han atrevido jamas a seguir sus propios impulsos interiores. Una comunidad formada por individuos teme..

En ocasiones, me sentia descontento y atormentado de deseos. Creia no poder soportar ya por mas tiempo tenerla a mi lado sin estrecharla entre mis brazos. Tambien esto lo adivino ella en seguida, y al verme llegar una tarde a su casa, agitado y confuso, despues de varios dias de retraimiento, me llevo aparte y me dijo: "No debe usted entregarse a deseos en los que no cree. Se lo que usted desea. Tiene usted que abandonarlos o desearlos de v..

And then, for an hour, he became aware of the strange life he was leading, of him doing lots of things which were only a game, of, though being happy and feeling joy at times, real life still passing him by and not touching him. As a ball-player plays with his balls, he played with his business-deals, with the people around him, watched them, found amusement in them; with his heart, with the source of his being, he was not with them. The so..

Just slowly, among his growing riches, Siddhartha had assumed something of the childlike people's ways for himself, something of their childlikeness and of their fearfulness. And yet, he envied them, envied them just the more, the more similar he became to them. He envied them for the one thing that was missing from him and that they had, the importance they were able to attach to their lives, the amount of passion in their joys and fears, ..

Cei mai multi oameni, Kamala, sunt precum frunzele care se scutura, plutind si rostogolindu-se in aer, clatinandu-se si leganandu-se pana ajung la pamant.

No tengo nada contra esta felicidad, oh no, la amo y estoy agradecido. Es hermosa como un dia de sol en medio de una semana de lluvias. Pero siento que no puede durar. Esta felicidad tambien es improductiva. Satisface, pero la satisfaccion no es un alimento para mi. Adormece al Lobo Estepario, le llena el estomago. Pero no es una felicidad por la que valga la pena morir.

What is meditation? What is leaving one's body? What is fasting? What is holding one's breath? It is fleeing from the Self, it is a short escape of the agony of being a Self; it is a short numbing of the senses against the pain and the pointlessness of life.

Beautiful was this world, looking at it thus, without searching, thus simply, thus childlike. Beautiful were the moon and the stars, beautiful was the stream and the banks, the forest and the rocks, the goat and the golden beetle, the flower and the butterfly. It was beautiful and lovely to walk through the world, childlike and awake, open to what is near without distrust.

Thinking, he walked ever more slowly and asked himself, What is it now that you were hoping to learn from doctrines and teachers, and what is it that they--who taught you so much--were unable to teach you? And, he decided, It was the Self whose meaning and nature I wished to learn. It was the Self I wished to escape from, wished to overcome. But I was unable to overcome it, I could only trick it, could only run away from it and hide. Truly,..

My soul breathed once more. My eyes were opened. There were moments when I felt with a glow that I had only to snatch up my scattered images and raise my life as Harry Haller and as the Steppenwolf to the unity of one picture, in order to enter myself into the world of imagination and be immortal. Was not this, then, the goal set for the progress of every human life?
