The Search in Siddartha "Siddartha" is a book about a man's struggle to find his true self. But his research leads him in the wrong directions. Then finally, after a long journey, he stops looking. During his search he discovers four things, what the "oneness" of life is, how the four noble truths affect everything, enlightenment, wisdom and love. On pages 142 and 143, Siddartha realizes that Atmen or the “oneness” of life is in everything. . No matter who you are, whether it is the Buddha, the dice player or the thief, “all is Brahman”. Even a rock is said to have an Atmen, because it eventually dissolves and becomes material for a human body. He understood that human beings need certain outlets to release their emotions, such as lust, wants and desires. The four noble truths summarize Siddartha's idea, where he believes that humans need outlets. Throughout the book Siddartha, he struggles with his desire to find himself. In his life, Siddartha was the son of a Brahmin, a Samana, a lover and a merchant. Throughout his life, he realized that no matter what you are, everything suffers. He also learned that most of his suffering comes from his own desires. As his desire for Kamala's love shows, he has done almost everything for that love. Eventually, Siddartha realized that whatever satisfied his desires was an illusion. Eventually he became a smuggler and he realized what life was; everything revolves around everything else and you have to live life and enjoy it. The realization of himself came in two stages, the first was when he left Gotama, arriving at the river on pages 41 and 42. He realized that he had always tried to follow after the ways and the paths of others, but now he had to follow his desires and simply live his life. The second time Siddartha was enlightened, while sitting on the bank of the same river with Vasudeva, on pages 136 and 137, he realized that he should not fight against his destiny. This enlightenment actually came when he described to Govina, on page 143, what he thought life was really like. It was not Samsara or Nirvana, but it was the realization that life is just an illusion, that a person is simply doing what he can. Siddartha, on page 34, did not believe that a person could obtain "salvation through the teachings", but that a person needed to find salvation through himself and no words could ever describe enlightenment of a person when they found it.
