    He has become skeptical of his community. He fears that he and his friend, Govinda, are becoming sheep in a large herd; they are to follow predetermined rituals and beliefs, without ever questioning them, or exploring other methods of attaining enlightenment. Siddhartha sees that the elders of the community have perfected their knowledge of the holy books, but they too have not reach Nirvana. Rituals and mantras have become more a matter of custom rather than a proper path to enlightenment. These realisations are Siddhartha’s first step to transition from being a camel to being a lion, but he is not quite there…

    Asceticism In Siddhartha

    Siddhartha’s life mimics the Buddha’s: departure from father’s home, years spent battling/struggling with worldly desires and utmost asceticism, and the realization of the Middle Path as the only road to Enlightenment. The major difference: the Buddha left a body of sermons and teachings, unlike Siddhartha. Being (Gotama) is represented in the existence of a man who has found unity. Becoming (Siddhartha) is represented in the presence of a man who has identified himself with perfection although he is still approaching it. Time, the troubled present in which one seeks the way, is transcended by the timeless fact of the goal already attained.…

    At a young age, my mother presented me what some people considered to be offensive terms. Growing up, I would watch Asian game shows with my mother which are pretty absurd but enjoyable to watch. The shows are good-humored, not undignifying, and allow underprivileged people to compete against one another to earn some money and prizes for their families. A game that was on one of the shows involved dwarves, really short people, doing obstacle courses and many other tasks in hopes of earning some money. I kid not that I just learned last month that the word “dwarf” is an offensive term in America.…

Siddhartha felt that and felt relief to “unburden himself to such a listener” (92).…
