Quotes from Sidhaartha

1. " Far is such a thought from my mind, I wish that I shall all stay with teachings, that they shall reach their goal!"

He saying that try not to think or worry about the past or future, but your mind into the present. He also means to focus on your problems and concerns that are happening now. By doing that you will reach your goals.

I can put this teaching into my life by not worrying or thinking about the future but worry about what is happening now and figure out how to solve that problem I'm worried about in that time period.

2. " I want to learn from myself , want to be my student, want to get to know myself, the secret of Siddlhartha."

He is saying that he wants to know more about himself from himself instead of a teacher saying what he is. He wants to know why he acts certain ways, why does he do certain things, and what is he as a person.

I can put this teaching into my life by questioning my negative actions, think for moments why I do certain things, and try to figure out through my daily actions what kind of person I am.
