Throughout the entire book Siddhartha is searching for true knowledge, for an understanding that will bring fulfillment into his life. At this point in the book, Siddhartha is feeling as though he can not learn anything more from these religious teachers, he questions, “...are we not going in a circle-we whose intention was to escape the circle of existence?” (15). This circle, or repeating of things of the past irritates Siddhartha because he believes that he can be greater and find something greater in his life.
In the passage, this is one of the first signs that Siddhartha is wanting to find his own absolute truth. Learning, or mastering something takes more than someone just teaching it to someone. One must experience this life for themselves
