1. What does the river symbolize in the chapter titled "By the River"?
The river symbolizes a "new start", an "Awakening", and is also used as a tool for the art of listening. In the story it says " ....just to become a child again and to be able to start over... I've had to experience despair, ....brought to the thought of suicide, in order to be able to experience divine grace, to hear Om again, to be able to sleep properly and awake properly again." This quotation explains that Siddhartha has had another awakening because of being "By the River". The story says " listened gratefully to a buzzing bee...never before he had perceived the voice and the parable of the moving water thus strongly and beautiful...." The book says "seemed to him, as if the river had something special to tell him, something he did not know yet, which was still awaiting him." This quotation explains that the river is helping him hear more than the average hearing, helping him listen to more than what he wants to hear and more of what he needs to hear.
Conquering yourself and finding awakening is, but is not worth giving up everything you have already done to form giving up everything you have already done to form yourself. If conquering yourself and finding awakening to you is worth giving up everything you have already done to form giving up everything you have already done to form yourself to make you self happy then you should do it. You shouldn't give it up, you should finish
.. what you start. If, you are truly ready to give up, than you should work harder to finish quicker and to start a new journey. No, you cannot give up your self, you will always have a self, just like your soul will always be there. Even when you die your soul or self will live on, but the vessel, your body isn't holding your self, it is a holder and time capsule for the time you have in earth.
