 Once
a beautiful and well - dressed woman visited a house. The master
of the house asked her who she was; and she replied that she was
the goddess of wealth. The master of the house was delighted and
so treated her nicely.

Soon After, another woman, who was ugly looking and poorly
dressed appeared in the same house. The master asked who she was
and the woman replied that she was goddess of poverty.The master
was frightened and tried to drive her out of the house, but the
woman refused to depart, saying:
‘The goddess of wealth is my sister. There is an agreement
between us that we are never to live seperately; if you chase me
out, she is to go with me’.
Sure enough, as soon as the ugly woman went out, the other woman
too, disappeared.

Birth goes with death. Fortune goes with misfortune. Bad
things follow good things. Men should realize this.
Foolish people dread misfortune and strive after good fortune,
but those who seek Enlightenment must transcend (human
experience, reason, belief, etc) both of them and be free of
worldly attachments.
