It is a beautiful depiction of a man's voyage finding the essence of life. One is often restless and weighs the pros and cons of every action in life. The gist of the book is that every person who does his job assiduously is a teacher/ guru. If one goes to learn even a simple task of looking at any object, it differs from person to person. The quote from the book

‘This stone is just a stone, it is worthless, it belongs to the world of Maya; but since in the cycle of transformations it might even become human....'
I loved this quote....it is true...when we talk of perspectives.
