the four wives

In truth, we all have 4 wives in our lives: Our 4th wife is our body. No matter how much time and effort we lavish in making it look good, it will leave us when we die. 

Our 3rd wife is our possessions, status and wealth. When we die, it will all go to others. 

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. 

And our 1st wife is our Soul often neglected in pursuit of wealth, power and pleasures of the world. 

However, our Soul is the only thing that will follow us wherever we go. So cultivate, strengthen and cherish it now, for it is the only part of us who will follow us and continue with us throughout Eternity.
