Hermann Hesse Quotes
What Is Meditation? What Is Leaving One's Body? What Is Fasting? What Is Holding One's Breath? It Is Fleeing From The Self, It Is A Short Escape Of The Agony Of Being A Self, It Is A Short Numbing Of The Senses Against The Pain And The Pointlessness Of Life. The Same Escape, The Same Short Numbing Is What The Driver Of An Ox-cart Finds In The Inn, Drinking A Few Bowls Of Rice-wine Or Fermented Coconut-milk. Then He Won't Feel His Self Any More, Then He Won't Feel The Pains Of Life Any More, Then He Finds A Short Numbing Of The Senses. When He Falls Asleep Over His Bowl Of Rice-wine, He'll Find The Same What Siddhartha And Govinda Find When They Escape Their Bodies Through Long Exercises, Staying In The Non-self.
