Love Alone Fetches
Wealth & Success
One
day, when a woman came out of her home, she saw 3 old men with long white beards
sitting in her front yard. She did not recognize them. She said "I don't
think I know you, but you must be hungry. Please come in and have something to
eat."
"Is
the head of family at home?", they asked.
"No",
she said. "He's out at present and will return from work in the
evening."
"Then
we cannot come in now, and will wait till he returns", they replied.
In
the evening when her husband came home, she told him what had happened.
"Go, tell them I am back at home and invite them in!" The woman went out
and invited the men to come in.
"We
do not enter any House together," they replied.
"Why
is that?" she wanted to know.
One
of the old men explained: "His name is Wealth," he said pointing to
one of his friends, and said pointing to another one, "He is Success, and
I am Love." Then he added, "Now go in and discuss with your husband
which one of us you want in your home."
The
woman went in and told her husband what was said. Her husband was overjoyed.
"How nice!!” he said. "Since that is the case, let us invite Wealth.
Let him come and fill our home with wealth!"
His
wife disagreed. "My dear, why don't we invite Success?"
Their
daughter-in-law was listening from the other corner of the home. She jumped in
with her own suggestion: "Would it not be better to invite Love? Our home
will then be filled with love!"
"Let
us heed to our daughter-in-law's advice," said the husband to his wife,
“Go out and invite Love to be our guest."
The
woman went out and asked the 3 old men, "Which one of you is Love? Please
come in and be our guest." Love got up and started walking toward the
house.
The
other 2 also got up and followed him.
Surprised,
the lady asked Wealth and Success: I only invited Love, Why are you coming
in?"
The
old men replied in chorus: "Had you invited Wealth or Success, the other
two of us would've stayed out, but since you have invited Love, wherever He
goes, We Two go with Him. Wherever there is Love, there is also Wealth and
Success!!!!!!"
