This was such a waste of time. The prose was pretty but the message of finding your own path of enlightenment made me mad. I guess it was just frustrating because it left me where I started confused and unsure. What does Veeky Forums think of pic related?

Why would you ask a blind man to see?
Benjamin Ward
I have know idea what that means. Did you get something from this book?
Kayden Richardson
Not him. But he's implying that asking one to recognise the book's lesson is impossible for one who will not take that lesson.
In other words, you aren't ready for the book.

Admittedly, I read this book expecting the eventual moment of enlightenment to reveal some lifestyle change that could give me a happy life. Then I became angry at myself realizing I was Govinda, following a philosophy in hopes of reaching internal peace. In retrospect, it was foolish for me to think this book would magically fix my life only to be left facing the absurd once more. This book actually makes alot of sense now that I think about it and will probably make even more sense as I get older.

You might prefer Demian, it's just as short but I thought it was better

I found it interesting if only because it encouraged me to get an overview of eastern religions.
The prose is also enjoyable and the atmosphere that Hesse builds up. As for the actual themes, I wasn't particularly receptive to them, but then I'm in general not particularly enticed by that sort of philosophy.
