Even missed flights can lead us home.
The Monk Who Missed His Flight is a transformative spiritual novel that speaks to seekers, wanderers, and anyone who has ever questioned their path. Set between the towering skylines of Chicago and the sacred stillness of the Indian Himalayas, this deeply moving story explores the collision between ambition and awakening.
Daniel, a failed politician chasing redemption, travels to India hoping for spiritual clarity - but finds only chaos, rituals, and restlessness. Disillusioned, he prepares to leave... until a missed flight strands him in a remote Himalayan village. There, he meets a mysterious sage by a fire who answers his deepest questions - not with lectures, but with stories, silence, and presence.
Together, they explore:
Why suffering exists - and whether it's necessary
What happens after death - and where the soul goes
The nature of time, karma, and free will
How to live in the material world while awakening spiritually
The true meaning of love, ego, detachment, and enlightenment
As Daniel sheds the identity he clung to, he discovers that the real pilgrimage was never across miles - but inward.
