Constructive Criticism Of Siddhartha

240 Words1 Page

Constructive Criticism: When Siddhartha first worked with me, I noticed that he tried to everything on his own, instead of seeking help from other experienced professionals. I remember one example, when Siddhartha was working on the design analysis of one of Caterpillar’s construction equipments. He had no significant prior design experience. He could have easily asked other experienced design engineers on the team for help with the analysis, but he decided to do it all by himself. He could have saved time and effort by utilizing other’s expertise in the area. I explained this to Siddhartha and told him that, I did not expect him to know everything. It was ok to ask others for help, they will oblige happily. Being fairly new, he was a little

    Siddhartha realizes he is no longer comfortable just sitting around as the big fish in a little pond, and he would like to seek true illumination that he feels cannot be found in their town. As he states to his father, “I have come to tell you that I wish to leave your house tomorrow and join the ascetics.” (Hess, p. 10). In other words, he decides to break away from his childhood village and pursue enlightenment by practicing self-discipline (becoming an ascetic). Although he tries to reach nirvana in numerous different manners, his final goal never truly changes.

    I chose this book because I can relate to how Siddhartha felt throughout this book. He had a feeling of discontent and dissatisfaction. He felt that something was missing but could not figure out what it was. He followed his religion fully, fulfilled the requirements and rituals and was following what should have brought him peace and happiness within himself and those around him. Siddhartha had been a follower of his father who was incredibly wise, though at times he thought his father was too wise and had preached all of his wisdom to the others in the community they resided.

    Part of growing up is leaving your parents and determining what is best for yourself instead of listening to what others think is best for you. In both Siddhartha by Hermann Hesse and the movie Dead Poets Society we were introduced to characters who were beginning to make these steps in life; Siddhartha himself, and Neil Perry. While each character had many differences, they both faced the same problem, their fathers had set out a plan for their lives that they would follow no matter what was for their best interest. These plans not only were nothing similar to what the boys wanted in life, but led to each of them turning against their parents wishes. The decision to disobey their family’s wishes led both Neil Perry and Siddhartha to find what truly made them happy in life.

    As a Brahmin he felt incomplete and wanted to know more and find his purpose in life. He decided to become a Semana and tried to lose his self and live through other creatures of the world putting down his earthly needs and running from himself but even then after years of meditating and practice he felt unsatisfied by his life as a Semana. After leaving behind both those paths he decided he would walk on his own path and learn for himself so he ended up learning the ways of a merchant; he learned how to save money and gain business affairs and live as a wealthy man. He learned the ways of love with Kamala and had all these treasures before him yet he still wasn’t content. If it was not for the journey Siddhartha traveled he would never have experienced and learned that those lifestyles weren’t for him; because of the road he traveled he realized that those lives were not for him and he was able to hear the river and listen to it and then train under Vasudeva on his way to becoming enlightened.
