PURUSHARTHA – The Blue Print of Practical LIFE
KEYWORDS –Purusharthas, Kama, Artha, Dharma, Moksha, Satisfaction,
Happiness
Purushartha is
Kama-Artha-Dharma-Mokha. KAMA is that desire which makes the world to develop.
Each human must be unsatisfied in life and must be an embodiment of desires.
The more the desire is, the more is the self, family, social and world
development. But the desire must be based on DHARMA. If the desire is
undesirable to the family, society or nature - it is Adharmic and he who is in
desire gets himself into a selfish desire that will bury him in sadness (NO
MOKSHA).
Who
doesn’t want happiness? But, should it be temporary or permanent happiness?
Purushartha gives balanced ways of being happy. KAMA - desire practically means
dissatisfaction. Unsatisfied doesn’t mean not happy. One can be unsatisfied and
be happy – that is the essence of life and MOKSHA. It is that state of
happiness where he always lives in the present and aspires for a better and
brighter future – not for the self but for a larger community. Ultimate Desire
for a human being as he proceeds for a better life prescribes him to get
educated and be creative. A creative happiness-filled balanced-life brings
meaning to spiritual development. Physical fitness, Emotional Balance,
Intellectual Sharpness, Socially active too; to gain long term happiness.
Education
and creativity are the blessings of Saraswathi and Brahma. For any KARMA(Action),
ARTHA is a must. God of ACTION is VISHNU; thus, got the pair LAKSHMI, the god
of ARTHA (WEALTH). MOKSHA is the stage of bliss, the samadhi level and what is
needed for anyone at that stage is health, energy. Provided and supported by
Sakti (Parvati) and Shiva. Thus, Purusharthas are the inherent values
of the Universe working with the help of Trinity.
Assume
I want to go for a site-seeing trip. That desire is KAMA for which I must get
the ticket and make all the arrangements. That can be a sponsored trip from my
relative/friend, my payment from my savings – whatever is the means is the
ARTHA. Assume I am not able to arrange these resources and I am to take some
wrong ways of making the money needed for the trip, that is ADHARMA. If my
means is ADHARMA, even after having everything which can make me enjoy, the
inner feeling will be of the guilt and I will not be enjoying it fully. If my
ways are Dharmic, I will enjoy in full. That enjoyment is called MOKSHA.
Let
LIFE be Live-In-Full-Enjoyment, where soon after doing anything, let the self
not tell to ourself; ‘Oh, I should not have done it’ – or for not doing any
action; let self not tell ourself; ‘Oh, I should have done it’. RIGHT ACTION
(KARMA) at the RIGHT TIME is DHARMIC, that gives MOKSHA as prescribed by
Purushartha.
