"Satu aspek khusus dari pengungkapan Siddhartha tentang dunia luar selalu mengejutkan saya. Sangat mungkin ia menjalani tiga puluh tahun pertamanya tanpa mengetahui angka. Lalu bagaimana perasaannya ketika melihat kerumunan orang berbaur di jalanan? Sebelum hari itu dia tidak akan percaya bahwa ada begitu banyak orang di seluruh dunia. Dan sungguh mengherankan jika menemukan kawanan burung, dan tumpukan batu, dedaunan di pepohonan dan bilah rumput! Tiba-tiba menyadari bahwa, sepanjang hidupnya panjang, ia telah dijaga jaraknya dari multiplisitas."

--- Daniel Tammet

Versi Bahasa Inggris

One particular aspect of Siddhartha’s revelation of the outside world has always struck me. Quite possibly he lived his first thirty years without any knowledge of number. How must he have felt, then, to see crowds of people mingling in the streets? Before that day he would not have believed that so many people existed in all the world. And what wonder it must have been to discover flocks of birds, and piles of stones, leaves on trees and blades of grass! To suddenly realise that, his whole life long, he had been kept at arm’s length from multiplicity.
