I just picked up Herman Hesse for a few other reasons, and your post drove my point home. Well written and echoed my sentiments.
Thank you :-)

Alternatively (and since the relative clause in German is different from that in English and Kafka's works in translation are often open to interpretation):

"Wer sucht, findet nicht, aber wer nicht sucht, wird gefunden." would mean "(He), who searches, does not find. (He), who does not search shall be found."

I believe the meaning in this case is to be read in the same way as in Amazing Grace "I once was lost, but now (I) am found" :-)

"Searching means: having a goal. But finding means: being free, being open, having no goal. "

That was so powerful ! Keep walking goes beyond Johnie Walker. Thank God for small mercies !

"Sometimes to find what you are desperately searching for, you just need to stop looking for it" - John Locke(Lost)

Siddhartha is my all time favorite book :) Reading your post made me want to read it again...

Ps: Nice title btw :)

"Wer sucht, findet nicht. Wer nicht sucht, wird gefunden" -Franz Kafka. (Roughly: If you search, you'll never find [it]. When you don't search, you will be found).

Nice one. Had read Siddhartha almost a decade ago. Maybe I should read it again...

Richard Branson says he got where he did by saying 'yes' but in the Indian context the reverse is a skill to be learnt. Saying 'no'. To irrelevance, to clashes with your values, to distractions (if that is how one works). But not to serendipities, to growth and to understanding.
