When Siddhartha leaves Buddha, he becomes aware of what his self is and needs thanks to the conversation. Siddhartha doesn't feel need to learn under Buddha because he has no need for teachers anymore to teach him about his self. He says “Truly, nothing in the world has occupied my thoughts as much as the Self, this riddle, that I live, that I am one and am separated and different from everybody else, that I am Siddhartha". Now that he is sure of what his journey’s destination is, he understands that he must continue to find his self on his own without friends or family, which is why he renounces them. “I will learn from myself, be my own pupil; I will learn from myself the secret of Siddhartha" is his newfound thesis of sorts. This is the causation of his changed perception of the world. His time as a brahmin’s son and as a samana was spent criticizing the nonsense he and others were following to ensure what he saw as a harmful illusion. Now, this awakening had given him freedom and honesty to create a path for himself that allowed him to take in everything wondrous that the brahmins and samanas ignored. His destiny is solely his own and he sees that now.
