Exploring the Soul in Siddhartha Religion plays a big role in the lives of many people. In the epic story Siddhartha by Herman Hesse, the aspect of religion is taken apart and examined from almost every angle. There are many concepts revolving around the theme of religion, but the three most important are the ideas of self and soul control; that knowledge can be communicated, but wisdom cannot; and the closely related ideas of time not being real and the unity of all experience. In Siddhartha, the idea of ​​self and soul control is very important, not only for religion but also for the acquisition of knowledge and wisdom. Once a woman tempts Siddhartha to make love with her, but he hardens his soul and moves on. Shortly after, he meets the courtesan Kamala who captivates him and with whom he later learns the art of love. He is then happy to have resisted the temptation. Siddhartha becomes rich so that he can experience all of life, and when he becomes nauseated by the uselessness of his wealthy life and attempts suicide, he stops and thinks about what he is doing. He quickly realizes the folly of his act and starts his life again. Siddhartha believes that anything can be overcome if one controls oneself. he expresses it one day to Kamala saying: "Nothing is caused by demons; there are no demons. Everyone can do magic, everyone can achieve their goal, if they can think , wait and quickly." I agree with Siddhartha's thinking. All problems can be solved, you just need to know how to do it. The second concept of Siddhartha is the idea that knowledge can be communicated, but wisdom cannot. Siddhartha believes this very strongly and believes that it is only right that everyone should acquire wisdom on their own. When he and Govinda come to the Buddha's garden and listen to Gotoma's words, Govinda immediately converts and stays. Siddhartha, however, does not do this. He respects Gotoma and believes that he has truly achieved Nirvana, but Siddhartha does not believe that Gotoma can teach him how to achieve it. Later, Siddhartha finds himself on the bank of a river, after fleeing his riches. Here he sees another sage, Vasudeva, the ferryman. He stays at the river and learns wisdom for himself. Siddhartha learns the wonders of life and that what he had always considered true was true; this wisdom cannot be taught. When he finds his friend Govinda, he tells him about the wisdom he has found. "Knowledge can be communicated, but not wisdom. You can find it, live it, strengthen yourself by it, do wonders with it, but you cannot communicate and teach it." He then tells Govinda about Vasudeva. "For example, there was a man on that ferry who was my predecessor and my teacher. He was a holy man who for many years believed only in the river and nothing else. He noticed that the voice of the river spoke to him. He learned from it and taught him. The river seemed to him like a god and for many years he did not know that each wind, each cloud, each. bird, every beetle is equally divine and knows and can teach as well as the esteemed river. Belief is everything, and I believe in what this book says, that everything is important, no matter how small. I also believe that Siddhartha is right; this wisdom is not transferable. A man can spend years learning physics and be so smart that he invents the next nuclear weapon, but was he wise enough not to build it in the first place? The answer is no. The third key concept of Siddhartha is actually two very closely related ideas. The idea that time is not real and.
