"What a glorious day . . .
The most splendid one I've woken to in my life.
Good morning to all of you.
O Sun! May you illuminate my way!
Great sky, lead me to the ends of the earth!
Clouds! Winds! Lavish your trials upon me!
Life and all that lives, consecrate my journey!"
After a lovely and short morning, in volume three Devadatta, Siddartha learns that a young monk's life is full of ordeals.
