My take on 'The Alchemist' : Paulo Coelho

But jesus replied to Martha : Martha,  you're worried about many things. But maria chose a good one. It will not be removed from her. 

We will know to pick a right one at right time. Enlightenment is important than anything else. This life too important than anything else. Your life is precious. Your life is given to get enlightenment. Life is too short. You need to get enlightened within the short span of time. Both enlightenment & life are important. This life is given for enlightenment. Enlightenment is goal of a life given. Thus both complement each other.
