Siddhartha at Last?

Siddhartha experiences a rebirth. What really saves him? I think that's why Govinda is there right after, to make him see another path. Another life he could've had, who knows, maybe it would've been worse than the one he has been living. He recognizes that he has been living in the transitory, or the temporary, but isnt everything transitory? Everything is temporary, everything will eventually come to an end. I think he probably means materialistic things, but maybe sometimes you have to live a life totally wrong for you, to find the right one.
