According to the facts and insight of the "Hikayat" or a story having spiritual meaning, i am skeptic about its buddisht origin. This must be a part of Sufi Lolk Tales told by a Sufi Saint to his disciples. And the fourth wife can only be "Rooh" Soul not mind. I really give credit to Matt for making it publicially available.

Just beautiful
So nice...💐💐💐
Touched!!!!!!
I love this story ❤️
Great heart touching story !! Keep it up !!
More than 50 times I watched this story
Great 👌👌👌
This story is a great metaphor.
Excellent illustration .....however, the third wife should have to be defined as status we have maintained in the society, meaning as a mother, farther, sister, brother or mayor or president or a king. The fourth wife is better translated as (Sankara)karmic energy that we accumulated throughout our life time by way of words, deeds and mental formations.
Cool, every one should take. Note and learn more understanding of inner peace.
great explanation
Superb 👌👌👌
Wow! Very mysterious accompanying music. Can we have some Blues or Jazz next time with a beat? :)
Thank you
The best story ever😻
Thank you fridaykiss for the post
Thanks 😇🙏
Peaceful
Nice one
woow thats was amazing
beautiful teaching, this is similar to the 4 horses of the apocalypse in the book of revelation. the 4 fold nature of man. physical, emotional, intelligent and spiritual.
TQ
very nice story
Lovely story darling....👌
thank u sir
Glad there was an analogy from the story. "Follow him in death" - what would that meant at that time, literally - suttee?
very nicely preached by buddha
Its very easy to put that into Christian Connotation.. .. True Wisdom is True Wisdom! Great story.
I thought that the fourth wife was our soul which follows us beyond the earthly realm.

Yeah, I heard the story too. It should be soul instead of mind.

I could see why you think that but Buddhists don't believe in a enteral soul
Fourth wife is NOT the mind! It is the Soul, Atman, consciousness, Self. The mind is one layer of us. The deepest and last final layer that has all the fingerprints of the other 3 Koshas is the Soul. The Soul/Self collects the karma.

The soul is always present - whether there is karma or not, but if you have not been able to free your mind, then there is karmic balance left to be addressed which keeps the soul bound to the material realm.

Wow
Well done. Moving and compelling. What is the soul? It is the being so there is no fifth wife.
In reality it is.
how can i apply this in my life? we all need basic necessity to live and survive safe.
Fact is that we don't come into the world alone or leave it alone, Spirit is always with us.
So interesting am learn stories that are really not making sense in my own case muùuuuuuh!
It's the soul and not the mind. Soul is the power house and it has storage of all our deeds and previous life's.
👍
Nice video bro.. But make it short 🔥😎
The forth wife is Karrmaya( what one has done in the past). Looks like this story is not said correcly or translated properly
The fourth wife is not the mind It's the "spirit"

It's not just a man who could have multiple partners but a woman too. This is noted in some of the epics - mythological stories from India. In the "heavenly" realms, where the deities or spirit life force behind certain elements of nature resided, there were also celestial nymphs who were not exclusive to any one deity. In fact, in the most auspicious bygone eons, the notion of marriage did not exist because possessiveness was not a character trait that existed in the beings that were present then. Only with the degradation of the ages, came the social norms and male chauvinism we see today in the world.

B Royhan Please google the definition of allegory.
Excelent video but if we want true liberation is to let go of everything including the mind...and we must not wait until our physical body dies, we must do it now. When the mind is out of the way, what remains? ( we are not our mind either)
There is no love no joy no peace outside of everyone cause all of this start with you and ends with you

True!
Wouldnt it make more sense for the fourth to be the soul or spirit?
A fine story! But people we love much can possibly follow us in the afterlife to be with us , if they are on a similar spiritual level as we, or meet us again in the next incarnation!
A nice connect between concept of wives n the world aspects but the fourth wife I believe wat v take is 'soul' firstly n then 'mind'! :-) Can someone explain the fourth aspect properly....?
The last wife role should be played by the first wife.....because first is always first and no one can love like first......

at deven the only true love is self love. Which took 4 wives to grasp that..
You are your soul. Body is just a shell where soul resides in this world. In your afterlife your soul will carry the deeds (karma). If you do good deeds and follow the commandments of One Almighty God you will be successful
I like bhuddist bet subtitles hindi plss
Story is good but lengthened too much with unnecessary pictures and music.
sadhu3 it's really true...
The fourth does represent mind it represents good Karma meaning good things which are done by us without selfishness are the good Karma it follows the man silently and protects him like a shield...

And consciousness
We do not take our minds with us, not all of us and not all of it. Those gifted among us with fine minds, with talents, artistic and musical creativeness, scientific and mathematical gifts, and good natures who make contributions to others, who teach others how to improve their lives, leave their works and ideas behind them with us in many differing forms, not the least of which are the good opinions and gratitude of others.
There are 5 elements in our body and the shadow
According to Buddha, is someone who is actually a giver, has an ego about giving?
This is my story
i am sorry but somethings seemed to have been lost in the translation and, pardon my ignorance but i seriously doubt buddha really commented on the subject.
tankgahhhh.
Form and emptiness
i read this same thing in Bhagwad Geeta , but in different context .but 4 th wife is the soul . which is immortal .
I need 4 wives to experience the meaning..
If this was supposed to soothe me, then I must say this to you with regret, that it has not. Instead the preaching is now haunting me.
It's not necessary to ask 4th wife ( as u say ) , because , imprints of karma get attached to soul . Mind is much bigger to get attached to soul . Only deep karmic imprints , ( in seed form ) as I hv heard /read .
Its the consciousness
