In the Indian tradition, life is said to have four aims, wealth, pleasure, ethical conduct or goodness, and enlightenment. They are meant to be held in balance. What would your life be like if you were to cultivate each of these areas equally?
Wealth Resources that sustain your life: skills, education, job, money, housing, food, clothing
Pleasure - Every form of healthy enjoyment: sports; sex; theater, literature, music, and art; practicing your own form of creative expression
Ethical conduct: Earning a living honestly, taking care of responsibilities, acting morally and according to your highest values, helping others
Enlightenment: Realizing your deepest nature; recognizing the oneness of everything; pursuing practices such as yoga, meditation, and spiritual study to make this possible
