This philospophy seems to speak in riddles. There seems to be many layers that you can't just read, you also have to use your brain. The western mentality expains exactly where they are coming from. It has more bulk to it. This other philosphy is very metaphoric and expects the reader to connect the pieces. It also seems to leave the reader asking more questions while not fully explaining the main question.
Siddhartha is trying to explain to Govinda what he has interpreted from the world or the river which are the same thing. His main point is that everything is connected as one. He says what you see and hear is decieving, that you never know how far along someone is. He continues to go deeper saying that everything is matched with it's opposite. Everything is one and the other. What looks like an imperfect world actually imbodies perfection.

"It seems to leave the reader asking more questions..." Well, isn't that the excitement of life? When we ask a question, looking for one answer, we really find that there is no one answer and we are left with a question, "WHY?"
