Life of Pi

If you have read the book and watched the movie, you will be able to relate.

Pi was admirable as a character ...trying to do what is right, trying to see that the tiger was there to give him reason to live, his immense gratitude towards Richard Parker at the end of his adventure.

His belief that he will be saved and his faith in God that he will reach land was commendable. His ability to make the most of everything. Gratitude for the small blessings amidst all the chaos.

Knowledge that he had before helped him and that indicates knowledge as a saviour.

And the knowledge that he acquired during his time as a castaway also relates to the truths revealed in meditation or in solitude.

His multi religion practices relates to trying to connect to God by different routes.

His relating the story to a journalist relates to sharing his experience and knowledge like wise and enlightened folks.

The connections to France, India, Mexico & Canada make me thing all world in one and connected in a way we don't understand.

Everything in that story has spiritual undertones. Think about it.
