This quote from the book is important to understanding the different things that Siddhartha learns while staying with Vasudeva. He learns to listen to the river and through this skill he learns that the river has many different voices. It is all living things. This is significant to Siddhartha because he needs to listen to all of these voices in order for him to finally understand the meanings he has been looking for. In the end, it is these thousands of voices that tell him that all things exist among each other. All the voices together form the holy word, Om.
The river is one of the most important things in the story because every time Siddhartha goes to change his life, he makes it back to the river, but doesn't quite understand what it means. However, when he stays with the ferryman, and looks at the river and truly thinks about the meanings, and learns to listen, and then learns that the river has many voices. This is significant because from this river, the many voices are what bring him to reach his enlightenment, and find peace in the world. He sees that the world is continuous and that everything in life is intertwined in its own way, and the river’s many voices are what are there to guide him. Also, the river teaches him the many different things through its many voices and it allows him to reach inner peace with himself and the world.
During this quote, Siddhartha explains to Vasudeva that the river has many voices. The river can be loud like a lion or soft like a lamb. The river can also tell you many stories and morals. It expresses its knowledge through the noises that it makes. By Siddhartha saying this, his mind broadens and sees the river as a whole not just one segment of it. Siddhartha is very fond of the river.
