Meeting Me at Horizon: In Search of Life through Hermann Hesse’s Siddhartha
Abstract
There is an unending flow of life which enters and exists at its predetermined time. Very few may have tried to apprehend the purpose of life, endeavor to explore its existence in cosmos, attain tranquility and celestial bliss. In the luxurious peripheral phase, people may be busy with desire and aspiration but a shift from exterior to interior is indispensible to know the mystery of the universe. A voyage must be embarked on to arrive at the center to realize the true essence of life. This paper, through Hermann Hesse’s stunning novel Siddhartha, tries to explore the quintessential existence of human being, the reason of this puppet show, ultimate goal of the journey and the path through which Nirvana can be attained. It’s an endeavor to show how beautifully a German writer ignites the intellect and helps to know how the Transcendental Bliss be attained.
