4 Aims and 4 Stages of Life

THE FOUR AIMS & THE FOUR STAGES OF LIFE

What gives life meaning? How do our priorities change as we move through different stages of life?

In this article, Dr. Claudia Welch explores the four traditional aims of life: dharma (ethical living), artha (security and prosperity), kāma (desire and enjoyment), and mokṣa (liberation), and how they relate to the four stages of life described in Indian wisdom traditions.

Within this context, she explores how we live, what we pursue, and how we can approach life’s transitions with greater awareness and meaning.
