This Episode: OM

Siddhartha wrestles with the burning wound of longing and envy, as he reflects on his relationship with his son and the people around him. He begins to understand the depth of the desires that drive the "childlike people" and discovers the importance of unity in all aspects of life. The river's laughter brings him back to his own past, forcing him to recognize the cyclical nature of suffering and the futility of resisting fate. He returns to the hut, hoping to find solace and guidance in the wisdom of Vasudeva.
