A king had four wives, the king loved all four very much, however the fourth wife was the apple of his eye, the king used to bring priceless gifts for his fourth wife and kept his inclination towards her more than the rest of the wives, the king's third wife was extremely beautiful and the king always made her sit with him on the throne in the royal court.
The king's second wife was a sensible, tolerant, kind and patient woman and whenever the king faced any difficulty, he would consult his second wife and benefit from her advice.
The king's first wife was an extremely loyal woman, she had a major role in gaining the king's empire and making him the king, however the king used to ignore her and had never praised any of her work.
Then one day the king fell ill and the illness increased so much that he saw the time of his departure from this world approaching near, the king said "What kind of king am I?, I have four wives and when I die, I will die alone, then he said to his fourth wife "Light of my eyes, I am about to die, I want you to come with me too so that you can accompany me in the loneliness of the grave.
Hearing the king's words, the fourth wife turned her face the other way and then walked out of the room, the second time the king made the same request to his third wife, however she also refused to come along.
Seeing such coldness from both the wives, the king's heart began to sink, so he requested the second wife to come along, the second wife said "Long live the King, you yourself say that one does not die with the dying, therefore you will have to cross this destination alone".
After the three wives, the king heard the voice of the fourth (first) wife "I will come with you, wherever you go I will accompany you", the king turned his neck towards the fourth (first) wife who was looking extremely weak and pale, the king said to her in an extremely sorrowful tone "My beloved, oh what a great regret, I wish I had taken care of you at the time when the authority was in my power, saying this the king's head fell to one side and he departed from this mortal world.
The reality is that this story reflects the life of every human being, in every human being's life there are four wives, the fourth wife is his body which he tries his whole life to keep strong, however one day he has to leave this body.
The third wife is his wealth and status and upon dying this is also left behind and gets distributed among others, the second wife is dear relatives and friends who accompany a person up to the grave after his death and then return back towards their temporary life.
The first wife is a person's soul and throughout life the desire to attain a beautiful body, the wish to acquire wealth and grandeur and the gathering of dear relatives and friends do not give us time to pay attention towards it and when we need it, by then it has become old and weak..
