Siddhartha
What does siddhartha want for his future
Chapter 1
Chapter 1
Siddhartha wants to find the world within away from desires and constant longing for pleasure. Siddhartha is dissatisfied with the Brahmans because despite their knowledge, the Brahmins are seekers still, performing the same exercises again and again in order to reach their goalNirvana: the peace of oneness with Atman the Divine withinwithout ever finding it. But if Atman is within, then oneness with it must proceed by focusing on the world within. As Siddhartha says, "One must find the source within one's Self, one must possess it. Everythig else was seekinga detour, error" (7). It is Siddhartha's search for this new path that leads him to the ascetic Samanas.
