झटपट उत्तरवैदिक चौकटीत मुक्ती हे मानवी जीवनाचे चौथे आणि सर्वोच्च ध्येय आहे — पण ती जीवनातून पलायन नाही. धर्म, अर्थ आणि काम यांच्या संदर्भात मोक्ष समजल्याने प्रत्येक मानवी आकांक्षा आपल्या मूळ स्वरूपाकडे परतण्याच्या मार्गावरील पाऊल बनते.

The Purusharthas: The Four Goals That Organise a Human Life
The Vedic tradition does not ask you to renounce the world before you are ready. It meets you exactly where you are. The doctrine of the Purusharthas — the four goals or aims of human life — is one of the most psychologically astute frameworks ever devised for understanding human motivation and guiding it toward its ultimate fulfilment. The four goals are: Dharma (righteous conduct, duty, moral law), Artha (wealth, security, material means), Kama (desire, pleasure, love, aesthetic enjoyment), and Moksha (liberation, freedom, final release from the cycle of birth and death). These four are not arranged in a strict hierarchy in most classical texts. They interpenetrate and support each other. Artha pursued without Dharma becomes exploitation. Kama pursued without Dharma becomes addiction. Dharma pursued without Artha often becomes impractical idealism that cannot sustain itself. The first three goals — Dharma, Artha, Kama — are called Trivarga (the group of three) and together represent the full range of what the embodied, socially engaged soul legitimately pursues and needs. Moksha stands somewhat apart — it is the goal that transcends the other three, the goal that arises when the soul has engaged fully with life, has experienced the full range of human aspiration and its inevitable limitations, and has arrived at the recognition that the deepest longing — the longing for unconditional peace, love, and freedom — cannot be satisfied by anything within the domain of the other three goals.
