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.

It’s my favorite book and I still preface it to every person I have ever given a copy to: it’s a mindfulness read, it’s not super easy to get through but it is worth it to take your time and extract your lessons.
It was written in 1920 and people were much more content to read a slow story :)

I believe that to be the beauty of ageing. Wisdom has more time to mature within you.

What I loved about Siddhartha was it's ability to transcend time and stay relevant. I also read it as a teenager and I took a lot of the lessons as guidance for my core being.
It's not a long book, I bet you can re-read it very quickly :]
