============================================================= ============================================================ Monday, March 07, 2022. 06:00. 1.#THE PURUSHARTHAS : ============================================================= #Life has been always regarded in India as a process of progressive self-transcendence from the realm of matter (Annamaya-Jivatva) to the realisation of supreme spiritual bliss (Parama-Ananda). #Human values and ends in life have been classified into the scheme of the fourfold pursuit (Purushartha) of existence, viz., : *1. the practice of righteousness and goodness (Dharma), *2. the effort towards earning of the necessary material values (Artha), *3. the fulfillment of permissible desires through honest means (Kama), *4. and the endeavour for the final salvation of the soul (Moksha). #This analysis is based on a broad understanding of the different levels of individuals in relation to the Universe. ------------------...
