A man and a woman who decided to marry each other went to a sanyasi to seek his blessings.
When they prostrated before him and sought his blessing, the saint told the woman to go to another room.
After she went, he asked the man why did he want to marry her. He replied, that she was beautiful, intelligent, educated, well employed, and propertied. Hence he wanted to marry her. Then he told him to go to the other room and called the woman.
When she came back, he asked her the same question about why she wanted to marry him. For this, she replied that he was handsome, intelligent, educated, well employed and propertied. Hence she wanted to marry him.
The sanyasi then called them and said, he was sorry to say that both of them were unfit to marry each other. They did not love each other. They loved only the material benefits of the other which were not permanent in life. To marry, they should love each other which alone would give them happiness.
