The purpose of this paper is to highlight the spiritual quest attaches one’s soul with divine nature with reference to Paulo Coelho’s The Alchemist. The personal calling is something to be addressed with care and to be dealt seriously and this is evident in The Alchemist. According to this paper the whole world has a single great truth. Thus the paper tries to infer the truth with the help of the tool namely inner (spiritual quest). Along with the inner quest the outer world is connected and thus Paulo Coelho observes everything in and around and comes out with a dogma of life which made his book one of the best sellers. Every living organism on earth has a search and to find what is the search one has to observe inner self as well as outer world. This paper tries to prove that how the universe supports one’s effort to succeed.
