YAJNAVALKYA AND MAITREYI

The rishi said: "No, my dear. All that it can do is to make you wealthy and live like all wealthy people. In fact, no amount of wealth can give you Atma-gnana."

Maitreyi said: "If that be so, of what use is the wealth you propose to give me? Will you, instead, initiate me in Atma-gnana?"

The rishi said: "I love you all the more, dear, because of your wish. Listen carefully to what I shall presently say and ponder over it."

The rishi said: "A woman loves her husband not because he is her husband, but because of her love of the Soul or the
Atman."
