WHAT IS THE WAY OUT?

1-15

There was a rich merchant who had

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 loved his 2nd wife too,.

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 1st 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 Actually we all have 4 all have 4

wives in our wives in our lives,..lives,..

No matter how much time and effort we lavish in making it look good, it ‘ll leave us when we die

When we die they all will go to others

No matter how close they had beenthere for us when we’re alive, the farthest they can stay by us is up to the grave.

Often neglected in our pursuit of material wealth and sensual pleasure. 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

to lament.
