It’s both your individual and soul purpose. Since a person may be a reflection of God, may be a part of God, satisfying these four purusharthas is a legitimate personal pursuit. The four purusharthas are really the essence of God, the supreme self, the qualities of God. Traditional prophets clearly expressed the qualities and goals of human beings as “Purusharthas”.

The four purusharthas are our four building blocks that we need to realize, recognize and utilize and develop as with any other muscle of our body, they are simply there, and they are already pushing us in one or another action or direction even if we don’t realize it.
