The Pilgrimage By Paulo Coelho

The Road to Santiago is increasingly generating more interest among the people with time

, due to advertisements, associations and articles. With that perspective in mind, the international bestseller authored by Paulo Coelho serves a valuable purpose for the readers. Discovering what the pilgrimage meant to the Brazilian author is exhilarating experience itself, which can only be felt if you read the book The Pilgrimage yourself.

Union of the Souls

The Pilgrimage (the book) starts with a discussion about the religious and historical context of Road to Santiago, comparing it with the other Christian pilgrimages of Rome and Jerusalem. When all the people walk on the same road, there is something that results from the communion of the souls. Paulo Coelho admits the pilgrimage was an effort to find his own self there. The Pilgrimage is a virtual journal of Paulo Coelhos soul, in which he is genuinely worried about leaving his business, and he was also apprehensive when he was about to begin his pilgrimage in France.

Be Born Again

He vividly recounts the first night when he experienced sensations never experienced before, and subsequent nights when he wept with joy. Throughout his pilgrimage, Paulo Coelho had a guide accompanying him who described to him why the journey was going to be transformational for him. The guide explained to him the journey was almost like rebirth, since the pilgrims met with new situations every day, most of the time they didnt even understand the language being spoken around them. So in a way, they were all like children who were just born.

The Reservations Disappear

The reservations people have with one another disappear since many of them can end up helping each other. Even small favors from God are accepted gracefully, because everything is new and thats why they seem beautiful. Thats why one needs to undertake a religious pilgrimage, if only to achieve a new insight into the life.

A Pilgrimage for All

The guide also taught RAM exercises to Paulo Coelho so that qualities of Adoration, Rigor and Mercy could be cultivated in Paulo Coelho. The author was firmly convinced the journey was for all the common persons. The guide said that whatever was been taught to Paulo Coelho made sense only if these were applied in real life.

Same Journey, Different Religious Groups

While the pilgrimage on the Road to Santiago is conducted with different religious groups, all of them have their own way of teaching things to the disciples. Paulo Coelho has been ordained in the Order of RAM which slightly mysterious and esoteric compared to other groups. There are secret meetings in the group and people say passwords to each other before conversing. They also fight a dog which is the symbol of evil. Paulo Coelho conveys some serious insights and lessons; the only problem is they come with a different brand of religion which people are not really familiar with.
