Um i dont know how long two pages on the comment feature are but ill give a summary…
Siddartha left the area where the buddha was staying and left govinda behind. He at first was saddened by this, but realized in order to take his own path inside him he could take noone that he knew could come with him. After he had left everyone he felt as if he had awaken but in a different way. As a samana he had even in his meditation considered himself the son of a brahman, friend of govinda, a priest, now he was nothing more than plain siddartha.
So the basic jist of chapter 4 is that Siddhartha leaves the grove Where The Buddha was and govinda stayed behind as a monk. The next 3 and 6/8 pages Siddhartha slowly walking along haveing a conversation with himself. it starts as he’s left behind teahcers. It moves onto what have you sought to learn from the teachers. He answers i wnated to know myself but i know myself least of all. The cause being he was afraid of himself. Then it’s i won’t let myself escape from me again. Then the feeling of his being “reborn”. Then the fact that he was alone with nothing to identify him but his own name. No longer a brahman, a cleric, etc. That being the final “birthing pain” he proceeded forward swiftly and impatiently no longer looking back. Not actually split into two paragraphs but i think that’s to paragraphs worth of summary for chapter 4. :)
Saddartha was baffled at first by his fathers resones for keeping him away from death and suffering, but he later findes out that he must find the way to enlightenment by takeing a road to figuering out the resone for reincarnation.
and he thinks of his freind govinda as a freind and later a master
