I have been and still am a seeker, but I have ceased to question stars and books; I have begun to listen to the teaching my blood whispers to me.

The speaker describes a turning point in a lifelong spiritual and intellectual search: he remains a “seeker,” but no longer looks primarily to external authorities—cosmic signs (“stars”) or learned tradition (“books”)—for ultimate answers. Instead, he turns inward to an embodied, intuitive knowledge (“the teaching my blood whispers”), suggesting that wisdom is not only conceptual but visceral and experiential. In Hesse’s work, this shift often marks a move away from secondhand doctrine toward self-realization, where authenticity is found by listening to one’s inner nature and lived experience. The line captures a modern, individualist spirituality: not anti-learning, but a reordering of trust from texts to the self.
