    One day Siddhartha’s pain becomes too much and Siddhartha sets off in a desperate search of his son, but stops as he hears the river laughing at him. He looks into the river, sees his own father whom he had left, and turns back, concluding that "everything that was not suffered to the end and finally concluded, recurred, and the same sorrows were undergone". Returning to his hut, Siddhartha tells Vasuveda all of this, but as he does, Siddhartha notices a remarkable change in the old man. After listening to Siddhartha, Vasuveda leads Siddhartha back to the river, telling him to listen deeply. At first Siddhartha hears only the voices of sorrow, but these voices are soon joined by voices of joy, and at last all the voices are under the great sound of "Om." Realizing the unity of these voices, Siddhartha's pain fades away and "his Self had merged into unity". He has at last found salvation.

    The four stages of life choices, which favor both renunciation and world upholding, are 1) student 2) householder 3) forest hermit and 4) wandering ascetic (Ghose, 1/18/01). In the book, Siddhartha participated in each of these lifestyles for a significant amount of time. Unlike his father, Siddhartha did not want to be a Brahmin. He thought his calling was to be a samana, which is very similar, if not an interchangeable term for wandering ascetic. Siddhartha and his beloved friend Govinda were at heart destined to be samanas. Siddhartha bid farewell to his family renouncing material wealth and sensual pleasure as in two of the four aims of life. They wander into the woods to concentrate and try to reach the heightened sensation that is to come with being closer to realizing Nirvana.…

    1. The story of Arjuna and Krishna was a perfect metaphor for understanding the meaning of god in Hinduism as well as the importance of karma and reincarnation because it was so easy applicable to the average person. Arjuna is faced with a problem; he is hovering over what needs to be done and the needs of the people. He is really torn. You really start feeling for him because his story and hardships are very relatable to our lives. Lord Krishna tells him to submit all of his worries and stress to the Lord. He soon realizes in doing this that it helps him see what is real and what is in his head. Arjuna realizes how insignificant his problems really are. To sum it all up, if we can get ourselves to submit to the Lord, we will be able to see ourselves as part of the bigger picture.…
