Story time-come come

I have grown up loving Grandma's stories. Today, I want you all to come sit with me while I narrate to you one of my favorites.

There was a king once.. with four wives.. he likes his second wife better than his first wife... and he liked the third one better than the second...n the fourth wife the youngest..he liked her the best. So, he used to neglect his first wife a lot.

So.. one day this king was struck by a very serious illness.. and he was told that he doesnt hav much time... and the King feels very restless..and sad...that he has to leave everyone..

So.. he called the wife he liked the most.. that is the fourth wife.. and said..
"listen, i am afraid of death.. and i dont want to go alone.. will u come with me...?"
The fourth wife..being the youngest.. straight away said..
"No, of course not!" and immediately went away.

The King then called the third wife... whom he liked the second best...after the fourth wife... and said.. l
"listen... i am afraid of death.. i would like you to come with me.. will you?"
The third wife.. didnt right away say no like the fourth wife.. Instead, she said..
"I cant come because after you die i will marry someone else."

So he was little upset and finally he called the second wife..and said
" See, the last two wives didnt want to come with me.. atleast you come with me.."
The second wife was nicer than the rest two. So, she said..
"ok, i will come with you.. but only till the graveyard"

By now, the King was feelin very sad, when his first wife.. who was very thin and not so beautiful anymore came to him.. and... she said..
" Dear King, U are my husband.. and i will always be with you no matter what.. im ready to come with you all the way..."

Now..what is the meaning of this story...?

The meaning is like this... every man comes across the four forms that are shown as the wives in this story.

This fourth wife.. whom the king loved the most.. is symbolizing our physical body.. we are attracted to our body the most.. we always want to perfect it... we do things to satisfy it.. but we shud know.. no matter what.. this body will not come with us after our life is gone. its straight no..

The third wife.. who said after the king will die will marry other.. is symbolizing.. our status, our money... after we die.. this status and our money that we have attained.. will go to someone else.. maybe our children.. or to some other person...who replaces us in the successful world.

The second wife.. who was willing to come ..till the graveyard.. symbolizes... our relatives and friends.. they are all there for us all the time. and are willing to come till the graveyard for support.. but not beyond that.

The first wife.. whom the King neglected the most.. is nothing but the soul inside us.. our aatma, our personality, our individuality. our conscience..
We dont really care so much about it.. nor do we give any attention to it. but, it is the only thing that will stay with us forever..that is always our own.. our soul stays with us forever.. learn to love yourself.. and you can embrace any trouble in this earth with no fear.. even death.
