Hermann Hesse Quotes

When A Person Seeks," Siddhartha Said, "it Can Easily Happen That His Eye Sees Only The Thing He Is Seeking; He Is Incapable Of Finding Anything, Of Allowing Anything To Enter Into Him, Because He Is Always Thinking Only Of What He Is Looking For, Because He Has A Goal, Because He Is Possessed By His Goal. Seeking Means Having A Goal. Finding Means Being Free, Being Open, Having No Goal. You, Venerable One, Are Perhaps Indeed A Seeker, For, Striving To Reach Your Goal, You Overlook Many Things That Lie Close Before Your Eyes.
