This is not related to Fullmetal Alchemist. Has anyone read this book?

yes I have it is told in a simple way but its meaning is deep and need thorough comprehension
one of the lines that struck me the most is this
"What is essential is invisible to the eyes"

Same here and it is the truth, what is important is seen by no one.

he was told by the old man to carry the candle in his mouth,
he was too engross on keeping the candle straight while forgetting the different scenes in the palace

The old man told him to carry a candle in his mouth? What I had read was that the boy was supposed to carry oil in a spoon and walk in the garden without dropping the oil in the spoon. And the boy was so busy making sure that the oil doesn't fall, he couldn't see the what a wonderful place the garden was. I don't remember the candle part.

There's actually a play by that name about a group of con artists who trick people by telling them they can create the philosopher's stone. Thats the one i read.
