Meanings Of Life (18.29-18.35)

Here Kṛṣṇa refers to the approach known as defining the puruṣārtha or meanings of life.

Dharma, artha, kāma and mokṣa are the four puruṣārtha. These are the four-fold meanings of life. Life is a path without a destination. Life is completion. Completion gets you all the best things of life!

Puruṣārtha provides four meanings to life:

Dharma is the natural law of the Cosmos. It is an independent intelligence. The very DNA structure with which human consciousness is built, the natural law of human life, the dharma are these four principles. Constantly give life to the four dharmas of authenticity, integrity, responsibility and enriching.

Artha is the material things that we pick up on our path and journey, to sustain ourselves. Kāma is the pleasure of the senses we experience and enjoy on this journey. Mokṣa or liberation is the ultimate meaning to life. The meaning of human life is you experiencing completion, and working, radiating, showering others also with the same space of completion.

Here Kṛṣṇa gives the essence of how to lead our lives to make it meaningful with completion.
