[Music] someone once said something very profound in the test of life you don't get numbers when people give you a place in their hearts that's when you know you've passed this is the story of a king a king who had a vast Empire a mighty Army and an abundance of wealth there was no shortage of anything in his life but time spares no one the King was growing old and illness had become his constant companion his health was deteriorating and the Royal doctor warned him your days are numbered my king you must renounce worldly life
and Retreat to the forests leave the kingdom in your children's hands and spend your remaining days in meditation and worship you have cared for this Kingdom all your life now it's time to care for your soul the King was troubled not because he was afraid of renunciation but because he wished for someone to accompany him he had four queens and he hoped that one of them would go with him into the jungles he first approached his fourth Queen his youngest Queen whom he had married later in life he loved her deeply and showered her with
affection gifts and luxuries surely she would go with him he went to her chamber full of Hope and said my queen I have decided to renounce everything and Retreat to the forests will you come with me the fourth Queen looked at him coldly and said what Madness is this you are free to go wherever you like but I will stay here this is my home my Palace the King was stunned he had given her everything his time his attention and his love yet she refused without hesitation he hung his head in disappointment and left her
chamber with hope still alive the king went to his third Queen she was beautiful charming and beloved by him he had always admired her elegance and Grace standing before her he said I love you very much my queen I want to spend the last days of my life in the jungle will you come with me the third Queen scoffed and replied are you out of your mind you can live your remaining days here comfortably if you go to the forest I will marry again and live my life happily why should I go with you her
words pierced his heart he felt betrayed yet again the king turned away feeling even more disheartened determined he went to his second Queen who had always been wise and intelligent she was the one one who helped him with political decisions guided him in times of Crisis and supported him throughout his Reign surely she would stand by him now he said to her my queen I am leaving everything behind to seek peace in the jungles will you accompany me the second Queen sighed and said softly my king I have always supported you and I love you
dearly but I cannot go with you however I will ensure that your last rights are performed with all the honor and respect you deserve you do not need to worry about that the king felt a wave of sadness wash over him even the queen who had been his greatest Confidant refused to accompany him all she promised was to stay until his funeral just as he was leaving in despair a faint voice called out from behind I will come with you my king the king turned around and saw a frail woman standing at the door she
wore no jewelry no fine clothes and her face bore the marks of neglect she was the King's first queen the one he had married first long ago she had once been the love of his life but over time he had forgotten her in the presence of his other queens tears filled the king's eyes as he asked you you are willing to come with me she smiled and said yes my king I will go with you to the jungles I will stay by your side no matter how long it takes or where you go the king
felt ashamed the queen he had neglected the most was the only one willing to stand by him and so he left for the forest accompanied by his first queen this story is not about a king or his Queens it is about you me and all of us each of these Queens represents something important in our lives the fourth Queen is your body we spend so much time caring for it keeping it fit dressing it beautifully and obsessing over its appearance but when our time comes the body will refuse to go with us the third Queen
represents your material possessions your cars houses cloes clothes and wealth no matter how hard you work for them they will belong to someone else when you leave they will not accompany you the second Queen signifies your family and friends the people you love the most they will stand by you through thick and thin but they can only go as far as your funeral beyond that they cannot accompany you and the first queen the one we neglect NE the most is your soul it is the only thing that stays with you through life and Beyond yet
we often forget to care for it because it came to us for free we spend our lives running after the other queens our bodies possessions and relationships while completely ignoring our souls we never pause to ask what does my soul want am I truly happy think about it whenever you f a major decision in life the voice that truly matters is the voice of your soul The Voice Within you real motivation comes from this voice it is the only guide you need so take care of your soul spend time in silence meditate and listen to
what your soul is telling you because in the end it is the only companion that will stay with you forever life isn't as complicated as as we make it take care of the first queen [Music]
