The inspiring Alchemist

The Alchemist. 


It didn't occur to me to look into dictionary to know what it means to be Alchemist, even beyond reading the whole masterpiece. 

There are more takeaways from the Author's interview to beliefnet.com than from his fable itself. 

It feels like breathing in fresh unpolluted air at the dawn when you hear him say,  'let's distinguish religion from spirituality.'

He quotes William Blake -

"God is in a grain of sand and in a flower.  This energy is everywhere."

There are certain things which God chooses to keep to His chest.  No way to know it.  The only certain way is to respect and reconcile to this fact. 

In the same breath, in the fable,  the author never fails to repeat, 

"When you want something,  the whole universe conspires in order for you to achieve it."

Every creation is God's unique piece, 
For a purpose, an obligation... Call it whatever. 
And set out full force to achieve it come what may. 

For,  the whole universe conspires in order for you to achieve it.
