This Episode: The Fortunate Hand

In Hermann Hesse's "Siddhartha," the protagonist, after a life of asceticism, explores a different path by working with Kamaswami, a merchant. While Siddhartha engages in trade and enjoys the material comforts provided by his new role, he maintains his philosophical outlook on life, viewing business dealings as a game from which he remains emotionally detached. His interactions reveal his deep-seated values of patience, listening, and understanding, contrasting with the merchant's focus on profit and loss.
