The Call of Adventure

"Siddhartha had begun to feel the seeds of discontent with him .He had begun to feel that the love of his father and mother, and also the love of his friend Govinda, would not always make him happy, give him peace, satisfy, and suffice him." (3) 

Siddhartha realizes, in this moment, that his current life will not always satisfy him. He realizes that to become one with himself, he must go on a journey of self exploration and discovery to find out all that he is and can become. His call to adventure is his internal longing for something more. His thirsts for knowledge and experience (wisdom). This is what sparks the internal and physical journey of Siddhartha.
