"Ele olhou em volta, como se estivesse vendo o mundo pela primeira vez. Bela era o mundo, colorido era o mundo, estranho e misterioso era o mundo! Aqui estava azul, aqui estava amarelo, aqui estava verde, o céu e o rio fluíram, a floresta e as montanhas eram rígidas, tudo era lindo, tudo era misterioso e mágico, e no meio deles era ele, Siddhartha, o despertar, no caminho para si mesmo."

--- Hermann Hesse

Versão em inglês

He looked around, as if he was seeing the world for the first time. Beautiful was the world, colorful was the world, strange and mysterious was the world! Here was blue, here was yellow, here was green, the sky and the river flowed, the forest and the mountains were rigid, all of it was beautiful, all of it was mysterious and magical, and in its midst was he, Siddhartha, the awakening one, on the path to himself.
