The Four Aims of Life

The interpretation which U.G. gave for the four Aims of Life (Purusharthas), addressing Brahmachariji:

"Of the dharma (moral action), artha (monetary gain), kama (sensual desire) and moksha (liberation), the first and the last are plain lies. In the remaining, there is no use thinking about the second in old age. The only thing that remains is money. That's important for living. Try to practice that. That's the only aim of life."
