Rudyard Kipling's novel Kim traces Kim's journey in finding himself and his identity. Kim travels around India and meets various people with different backgrounds and beliefs. Every time he encounters a new situation he changes his personality to fit his surroundings, not allowing himself to be his true self. It takes Kim the course of the whole novel to figure out that his true identity lays in the beginning of the novel; he shows his true identity when with the lama. The lama introduces Kim to spirituality which creates a simple balance between his physical and spiritual side.
Kim grows up in an environment full of physicality and sin. His life is completely indulged in these two aspects which is essentially a half-life; he does not have a physical side to counter-balance his worldliness. Kim then meets a lama who constantly focuses on spirituality; he has no physical side to him. The lama attracts Kim as something different and Kim jumps to join the lama and to become his disciple. The lama and Kim supplement each other and each obtains a new vehicle for expressing his quality for good. The lama and Kim then embark on a journey together.

The dawn wakes up animals and man alike; there is no separation between the two. The serene setting allows Kim to observe his surroundings and take comfort in them: "This [is] seeing the world in real truth; this [is] life as he would have it- (62).
