“I am like you. You cannot love either, otherwise how could you practice love as an art? Perhaps people like us cannot love. Ordinary people can - that is their secret.” (73)
Siddhartha learns all about love, real and fake, from Kamala. Her learns the truth about his feelings, and hers, and what they both want from each other. She teaches her to be observant and proud and ignorant and passionate. These things, however different from his original goal of self awareness, do, in fact, help him in his journey of growth and inner discovery. To be the master of yourself, you must first master the art of everything around you.
