Jai Sriman Narayana! Dharma-artha-kama-moksha are the four purushaarthAs. When it is said that you should refrain from Kama (desire), the real instruction is to refrain from mundane Kamas (mundane desires). However, it is good to have kama to serve the Lord. The fact that Dharma is at the beginning and Moksha is at the end of the four purusharthas, itself means that One should ean artha (wealth) through dharma, and have the desire for moksha. The desire for Moksha is infact the most important purushartha. Jai Sriman Narayana Narender P.

You have briefed the procedure for attaining salvation and listed 'without desire for fruits' also one of them, but the very act of obtaining salvation presupposes that the 'desire for salvation' is obvious. In fact, dharma of meditation involving an urge to praise Lord is also a desire. --------------------------------- Blab-away for as little as 1¢/min. Make PC-to-Phone Calls using Yahoo!
