5. DHARMA
(Righteousness)
 Dharma means truth, the right way of living,
and human behaviours considered necessary
for the order of things in the world.
 On individual level, you can think of Dharma
as your true purpose in life or the ethical basis
on which you live your life. It is also:
i. Being conscious in your action,words and
thought.
ii. Having compassion and sensitivity to the
others needs.
iii. Being awake to the existence of the divine
within.

7. ARTHA
(Economic values)
 Artha is the security of having the material
comfort you need to live in the world with
ease.
 Artha is one of the basic dignities--to have
enough assets to live on and care for your
family , without hoarding or being greedy .
 Needs vary from person to person. Artha
includes everything in your environment that
allows you to live a fulfilling life and the
means to achieve it.
 Artha provides the foundation for Dharma
and Kama. Without prosperity and security in
society or at the individual level, both moral
life and sensuality becomes difficult.

9. KAMA
(Pleasure)
 Kama relate to the pleasure which can be
sensuality, but is also art, music, beauty, love,
intimacy, affection and kindness--it's what brings
a sense of delight to your life.
 The right kind of pleasure lead you toward your
Dharma and help you to fulfill it with passion.
 Kama is good and necessary when it exists to
support Dharma and becomes part of the
richness of life.
 However, excessive Kama can lead to
overindulgence, addiction, sloth, greed ect.

11. MOKSHA
(Liberation)
 When you live your Dharma, fully supported by
Artha and Kama, Moksha or the final liberation
dawns
 Moksha is your true nature-- it's who you really
are. It includes
• Emancipation
• Liberation
• Freedom from the cycle of death and rebirth
• Freedom from ignorance
• Self-realization and self-knowledge
 Moksha is self-discipline that is so perfect that
it becomes unconscious, second nature, an
unwordly understanding, and a state of bliss.

12. CONCLUSION
In Purushartha of Hinduism, Dharma (righteousness), Artha(economic
values), Kama(pleasure) are only the ways or means to achieve the end
of life or Moksha or Liberation or Salvation which is the main
attainment of life goal.
