Kærlighed, ægteskab og den åndelige forening af to sjæle er emnerne i denne lyriske og filosofiske bog. Kahlil Gibran tager udgangspunkt i egne erfaringer med kærlighedens væsen og vilkår fra sin opvækst i Østen og sit voksne liv i Vesten. Kahlil Gibran udstråler både vrede og smerte, når han skriver om arrangerede ægteskaber, hvor kærligheden ofres for verdslige formål, og hvor især kvinder må betale prisen for fastlagte sociale normer, der mere eller mindre tvinger kvinden til at indgå i et fornuftsægteskab for at kunne overleve økonomisk. For Kahlil Gibran er kærligheden mellem en mand og en kvinde en ren følelse, som man ikke kan gå på akkord med. Gibran Kahlil Gibran (1883-1931) var en libanesisk-amerikansk digter, forfatter, filosof og kunstner. Han emigrerede med sin familie fra det traditionsbundne Libanon til USA i 1895 og kom senere i livet til at beskæftige sig med de kulturelle forskelle mellem Øst og Vest i sit virke som forfatter. Kahlil Gibran er særligt kendt for bogen ”Profeten”, som er blevet oversat til over 100 sprog.

जब आप दुःखी होते हैं तो फिर एक बार अपने हृदय में झाँकिए और आप देखेंगे कि वास्तव में आप उस चीज के लिए रो रहे हैं, जो आपकी खुशी का स्रोत था। आपमें से कुछ लोग कहते हैं, 'दुःख से बड़ा सुख होता है," और दूसरे लोग कहते हैं, "नहीं, दुःख उससे भी बड़ा है। लेकिन मैं आपको कहता हूँ कि वे अवियोज्य हैं। दोनों साथ ही आते हैं और जब एक अकेला आपके साथ बैठता है तो याद रखिए कि दूसरा आपके बिस्तर पर सो रहा है। वास्तव में आप अपने सुख और दुःख के बीच तराजू की तरह लटके रहते हैं जब आप इन दोनों भावनाओं से परे खाली होते हैं, तभी आप स्थिर और संतुलित होते हैं -इसी पुस्तक से 'द प्रोफेट' प्रसिद्ध दार्शनिक व लेखक खलील जिब्रान की उत्कृष्ट और कालजयी रचना है। 1923 में प्रकाशित इस रचना का अब तक 20 से भी अधिक भाषाओं में अनुवाद हो चुका है केवल अमेरिकी संस्करण में ही इसकी लगभग एक सौ करोड़ से अधिक प्रतियाँ बिक चुकी हैं। जीवन में सुख, संतोष, आनंद की महत्ता बताकर मानव जीवन की सार्थकता रेखांकित करनेवाली पठनीय व प्रेरक पुस्तक।
