“The realization of what wisdom actually was slowly blossomed and ripened in Siddhartha—and he discovered what the goal of his long search was. It was nothing but a readiness of the soul, an ability, a secret art, to think every moment, while living his life, the thought of oneness, to be able to feel and inhale the oneness. Slowly this blossomed in him, was reflected back at him from Vasudeva’s old, childlike face: harmony, knowledge of the eternal perfection of the world, unity.”
― Hermann Hesse, Siddhartha
