    The Four Wives

    There was a rich merchant who had 4 wives. He loved the 4th wife the most. He 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 her off 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 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 leave us when we die.

    Our 3rd wife, is 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.

    It is actually the only thing that follows us wherever we go.........

    In a small village in the valley, there lived a man

    who was always happy, kind, and well disposed to

    everyone he met. He always smiled and had a kind and

    encouraging word to say whenever necessary. Everyone

    who met him left feeling, better, happier and elated.

    People knew they could count on him, and regarded him

    as a great friend.

    One of the village dwellers was curious to know what

    his secret was, how could he be always so kind and

    helpful? How is it that he held no grudge towards

    anyone and was always happy?

    Once, upon meeting him in the street he asked him:

    "Most people are selfish and unsatisfied. They do not

    smile as often as you do; neither are they as helpful

    or kind as you are. How do you explain it?"

    "When you make peace with yourself, then you can be in

    peace with the rest of the world. If you can recognize

    the spirit in yourself, you can recognize the spirit

    in everyone, and then you find it natural to be kind

    and well disposed to all. If your thoughts are under

    your control you become strong and firm. The outer

    mask of the personality is like a robot programmed to

    do certain tasks. Your habits and thoughts are the

    programs. Be free from these programming and then the

    inner good that resides in you will be revealed."

    "But a lot of work is necessary. Good habits have to

    be developed. The ability to concentrate and to

    control the thoughts has to be strengthened. The work

    is difficult and endless. There are many walls that

    need to be to climbed. It is not an easy task."

    Lamented the villager.

    "Do not think about the difficulties, otherwise that

    what you will see and experience. Just quieten your

    feelings and thoughts and try to stay in this peace.

    All the abilities and powers awaken spontaneously. You

    do not work on them directly. They are by-products of

    your peace of mind. Just try to be calm and do not let

    yourself be carried away by your thoughts."

    "Is that all?" Asked the villager.

    "Try to watch your thoughts and see how they come and

    go. Stay in the quietness that arises. The moments of

    peace will be brief at first, but in time they will

    get longer. This peace is also strength, power,

    kindness, and love. When you realize that you are one

    with the Universal Power, you begin to act from a

    different dimension, not from the selfish, small,

    limited ego."

    "I will try to remember your words," said the villager

    and continued, "there is another thing that I am

    curious about. You do not seem to be influenced by the

    environment. You have a kind word to everyone and are

    helpful. Yet people do not exploit your goodness, and

    they treat you well."

    "Goodness and being kind do not necessarily point to

    weakness. When you are good you can also be strong.

    People sense your strength and do not impose on you.

    When you are strong and calm inside, you help people

    because you can and you want to. You then act from

    strength and not from weakness. Goodness can also go

    with power and strength, it is not a sign of weakness

    as some people erroneously think."

    "Thank you very much for your advice", said the

    villager and went away happy and satisfied.
