Oh, if only it were possible to find understanding,
Joseph exclaimed.
If only there were a dogma to believe in.
Everything is contradictory, everything tangential; there are no certainties anywhere. Everything can be interpreted one way
and then again interpreted in the opposite sense. The whole of world history can be explained as development and progress and
can also be seen as nothing but decadence and meaninglessness. Isn't there any truth? Is there no real and valid doctrine?
The master had never heard him speak so fervently. He walked on in silence for a little, then said:
There is truth, my
boy. But the doctrine you desire, absolute, perfect dogma that alone provides wisdom, does not exist. Nor should you long
for a perfect doctrine, my friend. Rather, you should long for the perfection of yourself. The deity is within you, not in ideas
and books. Truth is lived, not taught. Be prepared for conflicts, Joseph Knecht - I can see that they already have begun.
The Glass Bead Game
Hermann Hesse
Stages
As every flower fades and as all youth
Departs, so life at every stage,
So every virtue, so our grasp of truth,
Blooms in its day and may not last forever.
Since life may summon us at every age
Be ready, heart, for parting, new endeavor,
Be ready bravely and without remorse
To find new light that old ties cannot give.
In all beginnings dwells a magic force
For guarding us and helping us to live.
Serenely let us move to distant places
And let no sentiments of home detain us.
The Cosmic Spirit seeks not to restrain us
But lifts us stage by stage to wider spaces.
If we accept a home of our own making,
Familiar habit makes for indolence.
We must prepare for parting and leave-taking
Or else remain the slaves of permanence.
Even the hour of our death may send
Us speeding on to fresh and newer spaces,
And life may summon us to newer races.
So be it, heart: bid farewell without end.

For if dreams die
Life is a broken-winged bird
That cannot fly.

Making and preserving friends. Select some sound hearts. Be careful not to bruise them with unfeeling words. Take of milk of
human kindness one heartful. Add to this plenty of tact. Warm the mixture with plenty of sympathy. Do not let it get too hot at

The mixture should be kept in a warm corner of the heart. Years only serve to improve the flavour of friends thus preserved.

The chess board is the world, the pieces are the phenomena of the universe, the rules of the game are what we call the
