Since I see no book or books of reference to pick a quote out of, I am choosing a quote in the text of the lecture/book quote enclosed.
“I have experienced on my body and on my soul that I needed sin very much, I needed lust, the desire for possessions, vanity, and needed the most shameful despair, in order to learn how to give up all resistance, in order to learn how to love the world, in order to stop comparing it to some world I wished, I imagined, some kind of perfection I had made up, but to leave it as it is and to love it and to enjoy being a part of it.—These, oh Govinda, are some of the thoughts which have come into my mind.”
This quote explained that Siddhartha became more wise and philosophical because he took it upon himself to experience the view point of a beautiful world, a lustful world, a business world, childhood of innocence world, an isolated world, distant world from his world, that all started with his own world when he was a child. He basically concludes theory of Nihilism that focuses on living and not resisting and the dada perspective in terms of a collage that he builds mentally that explains itself with the analogy of the river. He is also using the different individual with the universal world or the unity of opposites in the context of his experiences. He saw that nothing really changed. He just realized that he lived to know what live can be for him.
