At the river he found his friend Govinda, who had watched over Siddhartha while

he had slept. Govinda was now a Buddhist monk who searched for happiness. I

believe this showed Siddhartha that their two lives were still very similar.

They both still seeked happiness and they were both in transitory.

The final teacher along Siddhartha’s quest for happiness was Vasudeva, the

ferrymen. Vasudeva taught Siddhartha how to listen to people and the river

which in turn helped Siddhartha on the road to happiness. ?You will learn

it,but not from me. The river knows everything; one can learn everything from

it. You have already learned from the river that it is good to strive downwards,

to sink, to seek the depths. The rich and distinguished Siddhartha will become

a rower; Siddhartha the learned Brahmin will become a ferryman. You have also

learned this from the river. You will learn the other thing too.?

Throughout this book Siddhartha distrusts teachers, but in the end he

becomes one. Although he shy’s away from this classification, towards the end

he begins to share the knowledge he has gained throughout the many different

phases of his life.
