Baal Shem TovFrom every human being there rises a light that reaches straight to heaven, and when two souls that are destined to be together find each other, the streams of light flow together and a single brighter light goes forth from that united being.
About This Quote
In the book “The Alchemist,” by Paulo Coelho, a young shepherd boy believes that following his dream of finding a treasure buried by a now-deceased shepherd will lead him to his fortune. He follows the instructions given to him by a mysterious stranger and finds a treasure. This, however, is not what he was expecting. When he finds the treasure, he discovers that all of his dreams have come true.
It is then that he discovers that what brings us lasting fortune is not riches or worldly possessions but love. In this quote, the shepherd boy refers to love as the greatest treasure, and it is through love that we can find our own personal fortune.
