‘The Prophet’ is one of the most popular works by renowned philosopher Khalil Gibran. A Lebanese- American writer, philosopher and artist, Khalil Gibran is all set to sail back to his home after spending more than a decade in a foreign country. During this return journey to his home, he comes across a group of people who ask him about the various aspects of human life. Prophet answers them by his twenty six sermons giving them a deeper insight of the meaning of life and an intense sense of wisdom. He talks about how a human soul can achieve spiritual enlightenment, and attain peace. His writings explore the real life condition of a man and take the readers on the way to happiness and inner satisfaction. The mystical work of ‘The Prophet’ explores the meaning of life. The sermons given to that group of people has been presented in the form of poetic essays and that creates a strong sense of bond between an enlightened human soul and a human mind making perennial conclusions of human life. The sketches add more light to the author’s wonderful poetic saga of life and intensify the power of wisdom it caters to the readers.
