Need Advice

Dear Wise Advice Columnist,

I have been following a man by the name Siddhartha. He was a Samana,but he has become a very rich man. He has since left his riches behind, and is now traveling aimlessly like he used to. I am worried for him. I don't know if he was ready to experience the world in such ways. He was a secluded Samana who was suddenly thrust into the pleasures, and horrors of the world. It seems he is now deeply depressed. "He had become rich. He had long possessed a house of his own and his own servants, and a garden at the outskirts of the town, by the river" (Hesse 75). Siddhartha had grown very occostomed to his riches, and then he suddenly left them.

I am worried about his well being he is a completely new Siddhartha. I can not tell wether this is good or bad. So I ask you, what is Siddhartha experiencing? Is he okay? Can I help him? What should I do?

Sincerely,

Mukesh
