Explanation:
In Walden, one of the many Transcendental concepts Thoreau expressed is the idea that God does not exist in some far away place, but lives instead all around us. "Heaven," he wrote, "is under our feet as well as over our heads." As a Transcendentalist, Thoreau believed that God manifests Himself in the natural world; therefore, nature lives as the source of spiritual truth for those who will seek it there. The poem's persona is one such person.
After listening to the astronomer analyze and "explain" the universe with his charts, diagrams, and mathematical formulas, the poem's speaker becomes "tired and sick." He leaves the stifling atmosphere of the confining lecture room and goes out into "the mystical moist night air."
The influence of Transcendental philosophy can be seen in the contrast between the attitudes and values of the lecturer and those of the poem's speaker. The astronomer intellectualizes nature, perhaps even brilliantly. He is very intelligent, but he is not wise. He understands facts, but he misses truth. The poem's speaker, however, understands that the truth of the universe, of nature itself, can only be understood spiritually. Rejecting the astronomer's carefully reasoned "proofs," he seeks truth instead by "[looking] up in perfect silence at the stars."

Compared with other religions there is no distinction drawn between the spiritual world and the material by the alchemist. To achieve the ultimate goals of creating the book adopts the means of individuality. Also, what appears throughout the book is the element of pantheism i.e., believe that God exists in all things, animals and people. For instance, when Santiago find omens in the natural entities like wind and desert by communicating. To this alchemist convey that just like humans these elements too are born from the soul of the world and have Personal Legends. Spiritual purification is also associated with the process of purifying metal. When Santiago tries to change himself into a wind or when a personal legend is pursued by the individual, it evolves into a higher form of being. Rather than practicing selflessness, this philosophy differs from traditional spirituality. This novel also portrays the characters such as crystal merchants, as failures who practice self-denial.
