Practice

Accomplishments

accepting the power of perception through personhood and innate capacity, noticing the function of sense organs, realizing the ability to function without the aid of sense organs, recognition between pure reflective nature and the Self

Absoluteness

tranquil mind attains purity to that of the Self -- seeing the distinction between the mind and the soul: thoughts are of mind while the soul is eternal -- holding this awareness, the mind-stuff is inclined toward discernment and gravitates toward absoluteness

Contemplation

the four human aims

the first modality consists of contemplating your current and allowing yourself to acknowledge your placement and where you are seeking change within your own life

Contemplation

The four human aims, known as Purusharthas, are Dharma (righteousness), Artha (prosperity), Kama (pleasure), and Moksha (liberation), guiding individuals toward a balanced and fulfilling life.

Overview of the Four Aims

  1. Dharma: This represents righteousness, moral values, and ethical duties. It is the foundation of all actions and is considered essential for maintaining harmony in society. Following Dharma involves adhering to the laws of society and fulfilling one's responsibilities towards family and community.


  2. Artha: This aim pertains to prosperity and material success. It acknowledges the importance of wealth in achieving a comfortable and secure life. However, it emphasizes that wealth should be acquired through honest means and should not conflict with Dharma.


  3. Kama: This refers to pleasure, desire, and emotional fulfillment. It encompasses not only physical pleasures but also the enjoyment derived from cultural pursuits, relationships, and creative activities. Kama is recognized as a legitimate aim of life, provided it is pursued in a balanced manner alongside Dharma and Artha.


  4. Moksha: The ultimate goal of human life, Moksha signifies liberation from the cycle of birth and rebirth (samsara). It represents spiritual enlightenment and self-realization, allowing individuals to attain a state of eternal bliss and freedom from worldly attachments.

Significance of the Purusharthas

The Purusharthas provide a holistic framework for living a meaningful life. They encourage individuals to pursue a balanced approach that integrates ethical living, material success, personal enjoyment, and spiritual growth. By understanding and applying these aims, one can navigate life's complexities and work towards a fulfilling existence.


In summary, the four human aims—Dharma, Artha, Kama, and Moksha—serve as guiding principles in Hindu philosophy, helping individuals achieve a harmonious and purposeful life.

Practice

the conception of the body

upon esotericism it seems that yoga studies, medical anthropology, and cultural geography offer various overlapping concepts of the body, which may be viewed as the same or similar triangle upon connectivity through a Surrealist lens
