sunshine of the riverbank near the boats, in the shade of the
Sal-wood forest, in the shade of the fig tree is where Siddhartha
grew up, the handsome son of the Brahman, the young falcon,
together with his friend Govinda, son of a Brahman. The sun tanned
his light shoulders by the banks of the river when bathing,
performing the sacred ablutions, the sacred offerings. In the mango
grove, shade poured into his black eyes, when playing as a boy,
when his mother sang, when the sacred offerings were made, when his
father, the scholar, taught him, when the wise men talked. For a
long time, Siddhartha had been partaking in the discussions of the
wise men, practising debate with Govinda, practising with Govinda
the art of reflection, the service of meditation. He already knew
how to speak the Om silently, the word of words, to speak it
silently into himself while inhaling, to speak it silently out of
himself while exhaling, with all the concentration of his soul, the
forehead surrounded by the glow of the clear-thinking spirit. He
already knew to feel Atman in the depths of his being,
indestructible, one with the universe.
