Once upon a time there was a rich King who had four wives.
He loved the 4th wife the most and adorned her with rich robes and
treated her to the finest delicacies. He gave her nothing but the
best.
He also loved his 3rd wife very much and was always showing her off
to neighboring kingdoms. However, he feared that one day she would
leave him for another.
He also loved his 2nd wife. She was his confidant and was always
kind, considerate and patient with him. Whenever the King faced a
problem he could confide in her and she would help him get through
the difficult times.
The King’s 1st wife was a very loyal partner and had made great
contributions in maintaining his wealth and kingdom. However, he did
not love the 1st wife. Although she loved him deeply he hardly ever
noticed her.
One day the King fell ill and he knew his time was short. He thought
of his luxurious life and wondered, "I now have 4 wives with me, but
when I die, I’ll be all alone."
Thus, he asked the 4th wife, "I have loved you the most, endowed you
with the finest clothing and showered great care over you. Now that
I am dying, will you follow me and keep me company?"
"No way!" replied the 4th wife and she walked away without another
word. Her answer cut like a sharp knife right into his heart.
The sad King then asked his 3rd wife, "I have loved you all my life
now that I’m dying will you follow me and keep me company?"
"No!" she replied "Life is too good! When you die, I am going to
remarry!" His heart sank and turned cold.
He then asked the 2nd wife, "I have always turned to you for help
and you’ve always been there for me. 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 send you to your
grave." Her answer came like a bolt of lightning, and the King was
devastated.
Then a voice called out: "I’ll leave with you and follow you no
matter where you go."
The King looked up, and there was his first wife. She was so skinny
as she suffered from malnutrition and neglect. Greatly grieved, the
King said "I should have taken better care of you when I had the
chance!"
In truth, we all have four wives in our lives:
Our 4th wife is our ****. No matter how much time and effort was
lavish in making it look good, it will leave us when we die.
Our 3rd wife is our possessions, status and wealth. When we die, it
will all go to others.
Our 2nd wife is our family and friends. No matter how much they been
there for us, the furthest they can stay by us is up to the grave.
And our 1st wife is our Soul. Often neglected in pursuit of wealth,
power and pleasures of the world. However our Soul is the only thing
that will follow up wherever we go. So cultivate, strengthen and
cherish it now, for it is the only part of us who will follow us to
the throne of God and continue with up throughout eternity
