According to yoga philosophy there are four main aims of human life. These are Dharma (sense of duty), Artha (material needs), Kama (enjoyments) and Moksha (spiritual realization). Dharma is the careful observation of one’s ethical, social, intellectual and religious duties in daily life. Without ethical quality, spiritual attainment is not possible, so it must be followed through out life. Artha is acquisition of wealth in order to progress towards higher pursuits of life including understanding the main purpose of life.

Kama means enjoyment of the pleasures of life provided one does not lose the health and harmony of body and mind. Kama are aesthetic longings of human personality, which include the expression of five senses and satisfaction of desires. Moksha means freedom from the bondage of worldly pleasures and liberation.
