This Episode: Mendicant and Merchant

Siddhartha finds himself working with Kamaswami, a merchant, but remains detached from the materialistic drives of the business world. Despite the pressures and expectations of a commercial life, Siddhartha maintains his philosophical stance on material possessions and the nature of giving and receiving, teaching Kamaswami and others around him about the deeper values of life through his actions and insights.
