Just finished this book.what did he mean by this?

DUDE NIRVANA LMAO

Siddhartha is the dumbed down, simplified, child version of "Narziß und Goldmund"!

that's because you have to live your life and work it out yourself

The message I got was that you have to achieve inner peace by yourself, and without the instruction of others. That is why Siddhartha rejects Budda's teachings, yet still respects the fact that Gotma has reached that peace.

So you just listen, do what you're told and think what you're told? Hey, I may be a retard, but at least I can think for myself.

Knowledge can be passed down and taught but true wisdom can only be learned through experience.

it's basically an anime-inspired-sonic-OC-fanfiction-tier story for people who took philosophy 101 and read the wikipedia article on buddhism

Ikr, it's like he doesn't even follow the Law of Jante.

Content comes from the present. Become one with the river. Do not fight it or try to control it. Find glory in all that moves around you. There is beauty everywhere.

Admittedly, without having first done some existential searching, the ending can be lost on you. I recommend coming back to Siddhartha at different points in your life.
