“When the beautiful Kamala was approaching her grove late in the afternoon in her sedan chair, Siddhartha was at the entrance… May it be so, my teacher. May my glance always please you, may good fortune always come to me from you!” (52/61)
Siddhartha meets a beautiful woman, Kamala, while making his way through a town’s square. He becomes intrigued by her, and does all in his power to gain her attention. He “forgets” all he has learned in life, and gives into temptation, lust, and desire. She teaches Siddhartha about love, passion, riches and luxury, and proper etiquette. His whole “enlightenment” shtick is momentarily forgotten, when spending time with her.
