Tanwir Mir

“Siddhartha does nothing, he waits, he thinks, he fasts, but he goes through the things of the world like a stone through water without doing anything, without making any effort; he is drawn, he lets himself fall. His objective pulls him to itself, for he allows nothing into his soul that might work against his objective.”
― Hermann Hesse, Siddhartha

“anyone doubts the infinite mercy of God, let him have a look at these sacred places. How much hypocrisy and irreligion does the Prince of Yogis suffer to be perpetrated in His holy name?”
― Mahatma Gandhi, My Experiments with Truth: An Autobiography

“I can think. I can wait. I can fast.”
― Herman Hesse, Siddhartha

“And when you can no longer dwell in the solitude of your heart you live in your lips, and sound is a diversion and a pastime.”
― Kahlil Gibran, The Prophet
