The Great Puruṣārtha - Dharma, Artha, Kama and Moksha
Listen now
Description
Followers of Vedic wisdom often refer to the four goals, Dharma, Artha, Kama, and Moksha, as something we should aspire to in our lives. While these are, indeed, qualities that mark our level of consciousness, in this episode, Thom clarifies the status of these four qualities. In doing so, he also clarifies the meanings of each of the four qualities, which are often referred to in overly simplistic, and slightly misleading terms. As always, Thom will put the horse back in front of the cart, and equip us with a process that will ensure we embody these four qualities to the best of our ability at all times.  Episode Highlights [00:45] The Four Goals [05:30] Your True Dharma [08:00] Tat Wale Baba - Abundant in All Things [10:27] No Abundance: What a Terrible Life [12:41] What True Abundance Looks Like [14:26] The Ability to Extract Maximum Pleasure [17:11] Living in a Dual Awareness [19:15] Attaining Puruṣārtha Through Vedic Meditation [21:45] Self-Realization by Numbers [23:57] The Process is the Outcome [26:03] Measuring Rods of Enlightenment Useful Links [email protected]  https://thomknoles.com/ https://www.instagram.com/thethomknoles https://www.facebook.com/thethomknoles https://www.youtube.com/c/thomknoles https://thomknoles.com/ask-thom-anything/
