Have always related more with govinda in this book more than anything else. That final meeting between both of them was the climax of the book for me. It a book chuck full of lesson for everybody. But have always taught that Siddhartha do not account for his own personal good fortune on his way to finding nirvana.

I find Govinda very interesting as well. I look at him as a lesson, not everyone is seeking their own path and nirvana. It is okay to stay in an other's path and walk in their shadow, if it is your will. Govinda seems very happy and content. This life looks different to all of us is what Govinda reminds me.
