“You have done so by your own
seeking in your own way, through thought, through meditation, through
knowledge, through enlightenment. You have learned nothing through teachings,
and so I think, O Illustrious One, that nobody finds salvation through teachings.
To nobody, O Illustrious One, can you communicate in words and teachings,
what happened to you in the hour of your enlightenment. The teachings of the
enlightened Buddha embrace much, they teach much—how to live righteously, how
to avoid evil. But there is one thing that this clear, worthy instruction
does not contain; it does not contain the secret of what the Illustrious One
himself experienced—he alone among hundreds of thousands.”

About Author
Hermann
Hesse, one of the literary stalwarts of the 2th century, was awarded the
Nobel Prize in literature in 1946. Hesse wanted to be a poet from the early
age of 12, and a slim volume of his poems was published in 1899.
Unfortunately, it did not create a significant stir in the literary world. In
194, Peter Camenzind, Hesse’s debut novel, received tremendous critical
acclaim, and it is considered one of the finest works in literature even
today.
Hesse’s visit to India in 1911 inspired him to delve into the finer details
of Eastern religions, and a little over a decade later, Siddhartha (1922) was
published.
Hermann Hesse received the Goethe Prize of Frankfurt in 1946. In 1955, he
received the Peace Prize of the German Booksellers. Steppenwolf and The Glass
Bead Game are some of his other seminal works.
He died in Montagnola, Switzerland in 1962.
