Not written by me 😆.......but like a friend requested, am posting it here because it is very thought provoking.
Hope you enjoy reading it as much as I did. 😊
There was a rich merchant JW who had 4 wives. He loved the 4th wife Meera 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 Pia very much. He was very proud of her and always wanted to show her off to his friends. However, JW was always in great fear that she might run away with some other man.
He loved his 2nd wife Roshni too. She is a very considerate person, always patient and in fact is JW's confidante. Whenever JW faced some problems, he always turned to his Roshni and she would always help him out and tide him through difficult times.
Now, Jw's 1st wife Bani 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, JW did not love the first wife and although she loved him deeply, he hardly took notice of her.
One day, JW 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 Meera , "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 Jw's heart.
Sadly JW 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 pia . "Life is so good over here! I'm going to remarry when you die!"
JW's heart sank and turned cold.
He then asked the 2nd wife roshni , "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 JW was devastated.
Then a voice called out : "I'll leave with you. I'll follow you no matter where you go."
JW looked up and there was his first wife Bani. She was so skinny, almost like she suffered from malnutrition. Greatly grieved, JW said, "I should have taken much better care of you while I could have!"
Actually, we all have 4 wives in our lives:
a. The 4th wife is OUR BODY. No matter how much time and effort we lavish in making it look good, it'll leave us when we die.
b. Our 3rd wife is OUR POSSESSIONS, STATUS and WEALTH. When we die, they all go to others.
c. The 2nd wife is OUR FAMILY and FRIENDS. No matter how close they had been to us when we were alive, the furthest they can stay by our side is up to the grave.
d. The 1st wife is in fact OUR SOUL, often neglected in our pursuit of material, wealth and sensual pleasure.
