Aims of Life

There is a Hindu belief that there are four aims of life. These aims are Dharma, Artha, Kama and Moksha.

Dharma is purpose. Life has a purpose. There is a reason for existence. There is a purpose to your existence. We are all collectively doing our significant roles for the overall benefit of life. You have purpose.

Artha is material prosperity. We all aspire to create monetary wealth. To have assets and material things. Some aspire for fame. It is all right. For we are here to express ourselves in the highest form.

Kama is pleasure. Physical and emotional pleasure. Every human being finds emotional pleasure in family, friendship, beloved and even the occasional acquaintance. We are social beings. Human interaction is the heart of life.

Moksha is liberation. The highest form of being. The highest aspiration of every soul. It is being free from the bondage of the material world. It is being enlightened. It is the moment to moment of experiencing our oneness and immortality.

You can experience these four aims in the lifetime. It all starts with awakening to the truth of our true being.

Namaste.
