Senthil Kumar m's Reviews > Siddhartha

Just loved the way Siddhartha was written: beautiful words, peaceful rhythm, simple plot, and so many "quotable" passages that gives you a lot think about it. This one still top of my head!

When someone is seeking,” said Siddhartha, “It happens quite easily that he only sees the thing that he is seeking; that he is unable to find anything, unable to absorb anything, because he is only thinking of the thing he is seeking, because he has a goal, because he is obsessed with his goal. Seeking means: to have a goal; but finding means: to be free, to be receptive, to have no goal. You, O worthy one, are perhaps indeed a seeker, for in striving towards your goal, you do not see many things that are under your nose.”
