Subject: Four Wives Story
Maybe, you should think about this.......!!!
There was a rich merchant who had 4 wives. He loved the 4th wife the most
and adorned her with rich robes and treated her to delicacies. He took
great care of her and gave her nothing but the best. He also loved the 3rd
wife very much. He's very proud of her and always wanted to show off her
to his friends. However, the merchant is always in great fear that she
might run away with some other men. He too, loved his 2nd wife. She is a
very considerate person, always patient and in fact is the merchant's
confidante. Whenever the merchant faced some problems, he always turned to
his 2nd wife and she would always help him out and tide him through
difficult times. Now, the merchant's 1st wife is a very loyal partner and
has made great contributions in maintaining his wealth and business as
well as taking care of the household. However, the merchant did not love
the first wife and although she loved him deeply, he hardly took notice of
her. One day, the merchant fell ill. Before long, he knew that he was
going to die soon. He thought of his luxurious life and told himself, "Now
I have 4 wives with me. But when I die, I'll be alone. How lonely I'll
be!" Thus, he asked the 4th wife, "I loved you most, endowed you with the
finest clothing and showered great care over you. Now that I'm dying, will
you follow me and keep me company?" "No way!" replied the 4th wife and
she walked away without another word. The answer cut like a sharp knife
right into the merchant's heart. The sad merchant then asked the 3rd
wife, "I have loved you so much for all my life. Now that I'm dying, will
you follow me and keep me company?" "No!" replied the 3rd wife. "Life is
so good over here! I'm going to remarry when you die!" The merchant's heart
sank and turned cold. He then asked the 2nd wife, "I always turned to you
for help and you've always helped me out. Now I need your help again.
When I die, will you follow me and keep me company?" "I'm sorry, I can't
help you out this time!" replied the 2nd wife. "At the very most, I can
only send you to your grave." The answer came like a bolt of thunder and
the merchant was devastated. Then a voice called out : "I'll leave with
you. I'll follow you no matter where you go." The merchant looked up and
there was his first wife. She was so skinny, almost like she suffered from
malnutrition. Greatly grieved, the merchant said, "I should have taken
much better care of you while I could have !" Actually, we all have 4 wives
in our lives ....... The 4th wife is our body. No matter how much time and
effort we lavish in making it look good, it'll never leave with us when we
die. Our 3rd wife ? Our possessions, status and wealth. When we die, they
all go to others. The 2nd wife is our family and friends. No matter how
close they had been there for us when we're alive, the furthest they can
stay by us is up to the grave. The 1st wife is in fact our soul, often
neglected in our pursuit of material wealth and sensual pleasure. Guess
what ? It is actually the only thing that follows us wherever we go.
Perhaps it's a good idea to cultivate and strengthen it now rather than to
wait until we're on our deathbed.
Best regards and wassalam,
