macke,
that's an excellent response and explanation. I agree with you ... but, then, again, I'm also a male and so I don't know how a woman would perceive the story. All I can say is that I'm in agreement; enlightenment, I would think, is beyond sexual differentiation ... but, we have to accept the possibility that the roads for the two are likely different ones and perhaps this is what she didn't like about "Sidhartha," that his road was not one that she could relate to.
Now, to come clean, my response to the student was more like that of the others, that have read the post, without responding because when she said it, I was knocked off balance and honestly didn't know what to say without upsetting her. My feeling was the same as your's ... but, I took the cowardly or enlightened way out ...... silence.
Thank you for responding ... I wasn't sure anyone would.
Sincerely,
John
