Haha yes ...now i am after Paulo Coelho's books....went hunting for them at MPH Bangsar last weekend since i had finished reading The Alchemist...now that i am motivated to follow my dreams...The Pilgrimage would be a good start to put me on the right track towards it.
This book is about a journey of 700 miles by foot with a guide who will not only show you the routes but also teach you how to stay on your path without being distracted and also how to get past the hurdles appearing every now and then.
"The journey is across Spain along the legendary road of San Tiago, which pilgrims have traveled since the Middle ages."
When you read this book simply as it is....then it may not be that great after all....but if you see how it connects to your very own journey ...then its like " OHHH my good Lord " at least after every 3 pages...from the beginning to the end...
Well there are some parts too clearly talking about meditation and soul....so you wouldnt miss it ....but there other parts which are hidden messages where you need to concentrate and interpret carefully...still some parts may mean different things to different people for it depends on their own life experiences thats reflected in the story...so the effect of reading this book will definitely differ from one person to the other.
To me...
Its a reflection of what ive been through emotionally and mentally...and from where i am today i could see clearly those roads ive passed by and the encounters along the way...so it gives a sense of satisfaction that i am on the right track after all..unknowingly of course..!
Every turn ... ups and downs of the journey is totally necessary ...the sooner we learn this the better life becomes...
And again...this book too is about following your dreams...
