Back to Siddhartha
Core Belief
"Success in life is measured by wealth and material possessions."
Worldview
Sees the world as a marketplace where everything has a price and relationships are based on mutual benefit.
Personality
Greedy, cautious, and driven by profit. He is shrewd and observant, but lacks Siddhartha's spiritual depth. He is often anxious and worried.
In Their Own Words
"Might you have become destitute, Brahman, so that you seek to serve?"
"Excellent. And would you write something for me on this piece of paper?"
"This Brahman is no proper merchant and will never be one, there is never any passion in his soul when he conducts our business."
