PURUSHARTHA – The Blue Print of Practical LIFE

KEY WORDS –Purusharthas, Kama, Artha, Dharma, Moksha, Satisfaction, Happiness

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 on the basis of Dharma. If the desire is undesirable to the family, society or nature; he who is in desire is not aware of Dharma and gets himself into a selfish desire that will bury him in sadness (NO MOKSHA).

Who doesn’t want happiness?. But, do you want temporary or permanent happiness? Purushartha gives the balanced ways of being happy. KAMA, desire is in fact practically unsatisfaction. Unsatisfied doesn’t mean not happy. One can be unsatisfied and be happy – that is the essence of life and moksha. That state of happiness as he is always love to be in present happiness and aspiring for a better and brighter future – not for the self but for a larger community. Ultimate Desire as 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 the spiritual development. Physical fitness, Emotional Balance, Intellectual Sharpness, Socially active too; to gain long term happiness.

Education and creativity is the blessings of Saraswathi and Brahma. For any action Artha is 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.

Assumes I want to go for a site-seeing trip. That desire is KAMA. I have to get the ticket and make all the arrangements. That can be a sponsored trip from my relative/friend, my payment from my savings – what ever is the means is the ARTHA. Assume I am not able to arrange these resources and I am take some wrong ways of making the money needed for the trip, that is ADHARMA. Right ways is DHARMA. In case my means is ADHARMA, even when I have all that best that can make me enjoy, 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 in all action 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 not doing any action; let self not tell ourself; Oh, I should have done it. RIGHT ACTION at the RIGHT time is DHARMIC, that gives MOKSHA.
