Скачать или смотреть Siddhartha Songs VI, VII Erkenntnis Aufklarung

The sixth and seventh movements of the song cycle for Soprano voice and Piano by Gregory Amerind, "Siddhartha Songs" recorded November 14, 2007, set to text by Hermann Hesse from his novel "Siddhartha." The novel was published in 1922 and is now in the public domain.

Here is the original text from the novel by Hermann Hesse followed by English translation:

Langsam blühte, langsam reifte in Siddhartha die Erkenntnis, das Wissen darum, was eigentlich Weisheit sei, was seines langen Suchens Ziel sei.

Es war nichts als eine Bereitschaft der Seele, eine Fähigkeit, eine geheime Kunst, jeden Augenblick, mitten im Leben, den Gedanken der Einheit denken, die Einheit fühlen und einatmen zu können.

Langsam blühte dies in ihm auf, strahlte ihm aus Vasudevas altem Kindergesicht wider: Harmonie, Wissen um die ewige Vollkommenheit der
Welt, Lächeln, Einheit.

Slowly blossomed, slowly ripened in Siddhartha the realization, the knowledge, what wisdom actually was, what the goal of his long search was.

It was nothing but a readiness of the soul, ability, a secret art, to think every moment, while living his life, the thought of oneness, to be able to feel and inhale the oneness.

Slowly this blossomed in him, was shining back at him from Vasudeva's old, childlike face: harmony, knowledge of the eternal perfection of the world, smiling, oneness.

Der Sünder ist nicht auf dem Weg zur Buddhaschaft unterwegs, er ist nicht in einer Entwickelung begriffen, obwohl unser Denken sich die Dinge nicht anders vorzustellen weiß. Nein, in dem Sünder ist, ist jetzt und heute schon der künftige Buddha. Seine Zukunft ist alle schon da, du hast in ihm, in dir, in jedem den werdenden, den möglichen, den verborgenen Buddha zu verehren.

The sinner is not on his way to become a Buddha, he is not in the process of developing, though our capacity for thinking does not know how else to picture these things. No, within the sinner is now and today already the future Buddha, his future is already all there, you have to worship in him, in you, in everyone the Buddha which is coming into being, the possible, the hidden Buddha.
