- "[Siddartha] looked down and was completely filled with a desire to let himself go and be submerged in the water. A chilly emptiness in the water reflected the terrible emptiness in his soul. Yes, he was at the end" (88). Siddartha is all alone in this scene and he is ready to face the biggest challenge yet. Siddartha no longer believes in himself and feels like he is a failure for giving in to wealth. Siddartha is extremely depressed that he is ready to end his life by drowning in the river.
- "At that moment when the sound of Om reached Siddartha's ears, his slumbering soul suddenly awakened and he recognized the folly of his actions"(89). Siddartha has a sudden change in the way he thinks. Just moments before, he was ready to end his life but when he heard the simple two letter word, Om, he realized his actions. This scene shows Siddartha's revelation as he views his life from a different perspective.
- "Siddartha now also realized why he had struggled in vain with this Self when he was a Brahmin and an ascetic [. . .]He had been full of arrogance; he had always been the cleverest, the most eager-always a step ahead of the other, always the learned and intellectual one, always the priest or the sage" (99). Siddartha just woke up from his deep sleep signifying his rebirth. He acknowledges his ignorance and by doing this, his old self dies. Siddartha is no longer unhappy and he starts to appreciate the simple things like the river.
