In The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho, what are a few insights about life that the Alchemist shares with Santiago?

Santiago has a
few people who help him on his journey to achieve his Personal Legend.is the final person who is
the one who teaches him about listening to his heart and learning about the omens in the desert.
The Alchemist tests the boy's courage on their first meeting by drawing his sword, but Santiago
doesn't flinch. After speaking with the boy, the Alchemist realizes that the boy understands the
Language of the World and how to see and follow omens. These things give him reason to help
Santiago through the final stage of his journey to the pyramids. 

On their
way to the pyramids, the Alchemist teaches the boy to listen to his heart, which is connected to
the desert. Without this lesson about listening to his heart, the boy never would have learned
to talk to the desert, the wind, the sun, or to God. 

Below are some of the
best quotes from the Alchemist teaching the boy about life:

"There is only one way to learn. . . It's through action. Everything you need to
know you have learned through your journey. You need to learn only one thing more. . .

Listen to your heart. It knows all things, because it came from the Soul of the World,
and it will one day return there"(125 & 127).

"The wise men
understood that this natural world is only an image and copy of paradise. The existence of this
world is simply a guarantee that there exists a world that is perfect. God created the world so
that, through its visible objects, men could understand his spiritual teachings and the marvels
of his wisdom. That's what I mean by action"(127).

"You will never
be able to escape from your heart. So it's better to listen to what it has to say. That way,
you'll never have to fear an unanticipated blow"(129).
