THE PROPHET:

---

On a Sunday summer evening I was searching through amazon for some new books to buy and somehow this one captured my attention. Maybe it was because of its name or the name of the author could also be the reason, or it was because i was trying to expand my horizons. Anyhow, it got into my cart and found a way to my shelf. And the thing i did not knew at that time was that more easily it will find its way to my heart.

After reading few lines, the words started resonating in me. It was like, you can feel what Khalil Gibran was feeling while writing these lines. The name yet so close to religion but it’s far from it. The verses dives deeper into spirituality and reaches to your soul that you can feel the echo of them moving inside you.

Each and every word full of wisdom, passion and fire, Gibran teaches us silently through his pain, longing, and life. After reading his works you’ll realise that this man has felt the emotions very strongly. If some feelings would have make us stumble, then he definitely would have bent and crawled with a smile etched upon his face, giving you the illusion that he is in paradise bliss of his aches and pains.

For me, this book has become my best friend. Whenever i feel too high or too low, i just pick it up and sit down and start reading, to get myself lost into the dark and gloomy and yet so mesmerising world of Khalil Gibran.

If you have read it already tell me what you felt when you first read it. And if you haven’t read it yet, then i can only say you have missed so much. Go and read it and tell me all your realisations.
