"... sitting on the bank of a river, witnessing its changing moods. Siddhartha, the hero of Hesse's book, achieves liberation. He spends hours sitting on the bank, and by and by, slowly, slowly, he recognizes the changing moods of his own mind in those of the river. Youth, old age, misery, happiness, he watches them all pass away. He realizes that in life everything is moving in constant flux, why to hold or possess. Realizing this he achieves liberation."
