The Traditional Bharateeya Lens of #Purushartha is very powerful. Its a lens that comes out of our ‘purpose’ of life and from ‘real experiences’.
It is not merely ideological. It elevates into Ontology and Epistemology.
Hence, powerful.

At the outset, this looks natural - so what is so great about it?
- That it looks natural is one part of its greatness.
- The other part is - Tradition explored the balance between these 4 elements in enormous detail, complexity & nuance.
Mahabharata stands testimony to it.

The State appreciates Artha & Kama only.
- Highly places its own Artha
- Not aware of its own Kama
- Places Artha-Kama of the Society as subservient to its own
- Does not recognize Moksha (Daiva)
- Appreciates Dharma only as Law & Order
Purushartha imbalance.

The Landlord, on the other hand
- Is solely concerned of his own Artha Kama
- Is unconcerned about the Society’s AK
- Has delinked himself from Moksha (Daiva - Ancestral Tradition)
- Seeks to manipulate even the L&O part of Dharma of the State
A Tragedy that Modernity brings.

The Community on the other hand
- Has let Modernity corrupt its Artha-Kama
- But has not lost its connection with the Sacred (Daiva)
- Hence, they retain a sense of Dharma without the strength to invoke it
Finally, a sacrifice was necessary for the society to invoke it.

We can extend this to various elements of the Society and we will see that every important aspect of our Classical Tradition playing its role.
We develop a new but an ancient vocabulary to explain life around us.
