Exploring the Soul in Siddhartha Religion plays an important role in many people's lives. In Herman Hesse's epic tale Siddhartha the aspect of religion is taken apart and looked at from almost every angle. There are many concepts that revolve around the topic of religion, but the three most important are the ideas of self and soul control; that knowledge can be communicated, but not wisdom; and the closely related ideas that time is not real and The oneness of all experience. In Siddhartha the idea of ​​control of the self and the soul is very important, not only for religion but for the acquisition of knowledge and wisdom. Once a woman tempts Siddhartha to make love to her, but he hardens his soul and moves on. Shortly afterwards he meets the courtesan Kamala who fascinates him and from whom he will later learn the art of love. Then he is happy to have resisted the temptation. Siddhartha becomes rich so he can experience all of life, and when he becomes nauseated by the uselessness of his rich life and tries to commit suicide, he stops and thinks about what he is doing. He soon realizes the folly of his action and starts his life again. Siddhartha believes that everything can be overcome if one controls oneself. one day he expresses this to Kamala, saying; "Nothing is caused by demons; there are no demons. Everyone can perform magic, everyone can achieve their goal, if they know how to think, wait and fast." I agree with Siddhartha's thoughts. All problems can be solved, you just need to know how to do it. Siddhartha's second concept is the idea that knowledge can be communicated, but not wisdom. Siddhartha firmly believes this and believes that it is right for everyone to acquire wisdom on their own. When he and Govinda arrive at the Buddha's garden and hear Gotoma's words, Govinda immediately converts and stays. Siddhartha, however, does not. He respects Gotoma and believes that he has actually achieved Nirvana, but Siddhartha does not believe that Gotoma can teach him to achieve it. Later Siddhartha finds himself at a river, having run away from his riches. Here he sees another wise man, Vasudeva, the ferryman. Stay at the river and learn wisdom for yourself. Siddhartha learns the wonders of life and that what he had always believed to be true was true; that wisdom is not teachable. When he meets his friend Govinda again he tells him of the wisdom he has found. "Knowledge can be communicated, but wisdom cannot. You can find it, live it, be strengthened by it, work miracles through it, but you cannot communicate and teach it." Then he tells Govinda about Vasudeva. "For example, on this ferry there was a man who was my predecessor and teacher. He was a holy man who for many years believed only in the river and nothing else. He noticed that the voice of the river spoke to him. He learned by it; he educated and instructed him. The river seemed to him a god and for many years he did not know that every wind, every cloud, every bird, every beetle is equally divine and knows and can teach as well as the esteemed river. " Belief is everything, and I believe what this book says, that everything matters, no matter how small. I also believe that Siddhartha is right; that wisdom is not communicable. A man can spend years learning physics and be smart enough to invent the next nuclear weapon, but did he have the wisdom not to build it in the first place? The answer is no. Siddhartha's third key concept is actually two very closely related ideas. The idea that time is not real and the uniqueness of all experience. All experience happens all the time. Everything exists at the same time and the only thing that separates these existences is the illusion of time. When Siddhartha is sitting near the river, Vasudeva tells him.
