Siddhartha Blog

During the book Siddhartha choses to leave his friend and go on his own path, this shows that everybody beleives in different things and they must be allowed to work towards those beliefs. "You have heard my blessing, Govinda. I repeat it. May you travel this path to the end. May you find salvation!". Siddhartha knows that Govinda has found his path and allows him to travel it just like everybody needs to be allowed to do. Another way this is showed in the story is when Siddhartha is talking with the Buddah. When Siddhartha is talking to the Buddha he realizes that people need to beleive what they want to beleive. "Do you think, O Samana from afar, that it would be better for all these to relinquish the teachings and to return to the life of the world and desires?"..."May they reach their goal!" Siddhartha understands that the men have found what they beleive and they can be content with their beliefs by saying they should reach their goals he is saying he understands that they have their own beliefs.
