He loved the 4th Wife the
most and adorned her
with rich robes and treated her to the finest of
delicacies. He gave her nothing but the best.

He also loved the 3rd Wife very much and was always showing
her off to neighboring kingdoms.
However, he feared that one day she would leave him for another.

He also loved his 2nd Wife. She was his confidante and
was always kind, considerate and patient with him. Whenever the King faced a problem, he
could confide in her to help him get through the
difficult times.

The King's 1st Wife was a very loyal partner and had made great contributions in maintaining his wealth and kingdom. However, he did not love the first wife, and although she loved him deeply, he hardly took notice of her.

One day, the King fell ill and he
knew his time was short.
![Page 8: Once upon a time…. There was a rich King who had 4 Wives.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081513/56649ce25503460f949ace3f/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
He thought of his luxurious life and pondered, “I
now have 4 wives with me, but when I die,
I'll be all alone.”

Thus, he asked the 4th wife, "I have loved you the 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?"
![Page 10: Once upon a time…. There was a rich King who had 4 Wives.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081513/56649ce25503460f949ace3f/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
"No way!" replied the 4th wife and she walked away without another word. Her answer cut like a sharp knife right into his heart.
![Page 11: Once upon a time…. There was a rich King who had 4 Wives.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081513/56649ce25503460f949ace3f/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
The sad King then asked the
3rd wife, "I have loved you
all my life. Now that I'm
dying, will you follow me and
keep me company?"
![Page 12: Once upon a time…. There was a rich King who had 4 Wives.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081513/56649ce25503460f949ace3f/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
"No!" replied the 3rd wife. "Life is too good! When you die, I'm going to remarry!“
His heart sank and turned cold.
![Page 13: Once upon a time…. There was a rich King who had 4 Wives.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081513/56649ce25503460f949ace3f/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
He then asked the 2nd wife, "I have always turned to you for help and you've always been there for me. When I die, will you follow me and keep me company?"
![Page 14: Once upon a time…. There was a rich King who had 4 Wives.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081513/56649ce25503460f949ace3f/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
"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."
![Page 15: Once upon a time…. There was a rich King who had 4 Wives.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081513/56649ce25503460f949ace3f/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Her answer came like a bolt of thunder and the King was devastated.
![Page 16: Once upon a time…. There was a rich King who had 4 Wives.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081513/56649ce25503460f949ace3f/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Then a voice called out: I'll leave with you and follow you no matter where
you go." The King looked up and there was his first wife. She was
so skinny, she suffered from malnutrition.
![Page 17: Once upon a time…. There was a rich King who had 4 Wives.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081513/56649ce25503460f949ace3f/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Greatly grieved, the King said, "I should have taken much better care of you when I had the chance!"
![Page 18: Once upon a time…. There was a rich King who had 4 Wives.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081513/56649ce25503460f949ace3f/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
In Truth, we all have 4 wives in our
lives...
![Page 19: Once upon a time…. There was a rich King who had 4 Wives.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081513/56649ce25503460f949ace3f/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Our 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.
![Page 20: Once upon a time…. There was a rich King who had 4 Wives.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081513/56649ce25503460f949ace3f/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Our 3rd wife is our possessions, status,
and wealth.
When we die, it will all go to others.
![Page 21: Once upon a time…. There was a rich King who had 4 Wives.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081513/56649ce25503460f949ace3f/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Our 2nd wife is our family and friends.
No matter how much they have been there for us, the furthest they can stay by us is up to the grave.
![Page 22: Once upon a time…. There was a rich King who had 4 Wives.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081513/56649ce25503460f949ace3f/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
And our 1st wife is our Soul,
often neglected in pursuit of wealth, power, and pleasures of the ego.
![Page 23: Once upon a time…. There was a rich King who had 4 Wives.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081513/56649ce25503460f949ace3f/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
However, our Soul is the only thing that will follow us wherever we go.
So cultivate, strengthen, and cherish it now! It is your greatest gift to offer the world.
Let it Shine!
