some sudden changes,A treasure hunt if I may call it,takes him away from everything.This book has taught me that no matter how smooth and happy life we live,A change awaits us on the door step.That no matter how much you run from reality,one day it stands up in front of you and you have no other option but to accept it.This teaches you about how your omens help you choose your way.No matter how confused you are,God always knows what's the best for you but he never shows you the correct path in a click,he waits,waits till you learn the true meaning of suffering because its after suffering that you understand what a happy life means.If you are successful in assuring God that you want something,Then God assures you that you shall get it and the whole universe helps you to get it.Love is an integral part of this book.The love between Fatima and the shepherd was so strong that it brings tears to yours eyes(It did to mine) This book takes us to an eternal journey where people come and go but life never stops and neither does time.It shows the greed for money in today''s world which snatches the life if that young guy,his flock from him just because a stranger told him about the hidden treasure.The greed was so strong that he was ready to travel for hours,days,months for it and not be happy with what he had.He followed his omens and there he was.
