In the mixture of scepticism and sympathy for the hindu way of life. One of its attractive features is of multiple goals to good life.
The first Goal is to come to grips with kama, 'human desire'. I find it reassuring that pleasure has a valued place in the good life.
The Second goal is artha, 'material being', which makes sense, for how can one be happy in conditions of extreme deprivation.
The Third objective of life is dharma, 'moral well- being'
The final goal is moksha, 'spiritual liberation' from our fragmented, finite and suffering existence.
