“The river and Ferryman Vasudeva were the greatest teachers Siddhartha had, not the Buddha. He learns from the Ferryman that the river is the key to inner peace. He sees characters from his past, present and future, and realizes that “everything is entwined and entwisted, interwoven a thousand fold” in the river.”
