The Alchemist question

I just finished reading the book, and as I understand it, the "treasure" is the journey itself. Santiago took action on his dream to travel the world, which is why he chose to become a shepherd.

During his journey, he learned about the various qualities of people and the environment around him, achieving a spiritual connection with everything and everyone.

Towards the end, when he is attacked by robbers, one of them tells him that he too had dreamt the same dream twice just like Santiago, but that didn't mean he needed to fulfill it.
Thus, Santiago experienced spiritual development and also made his dream come true. I interpret the ending as a confirmation that he achieved his dream of traveling the world.

Although I think it's funny, how the robber had the dream of being a shepherd where Santiago started his journey.


I hope that I helped clarify what you were searching for

I think the ending is about how the treasure can be right in front of you without you realizing it. The journey itself is what’s important, and the lessons you learn along the way. Santiago's search for the treasure takes him far and wide, but in the end, it turns out that the treasure was right where he started, in the abandoned church. This shows that sometimes the answers we’re looking for are closer than we think. The real treasure is in the growth, experiences, and wisdom gained during the journey. That's the true message of the book.

All i got to know after completing is "Go with the Flow and move towards you goal what you want to do and see the magic whole universe will help you to a achieve"

same here

The treasure was right where he started the whole time but that doesn't mean the voyage was futile. The girls he encounters narrate this as the one in the dessert states that she has to let him do his journey and he will return to her. Had he settled with the first girl he would have always had the yearning and never taken the trip.

I have read this book so far, but I can figure out it means that you don't have to travel so much to sort out the issues. The truth is in front of you. All your questions can be clarified looking around. The important things are next to you.
