Four purusharthas (human goals)

The four purusarthas (human goals) of grihastha ashram are summarised as follows. 
  1. Dharma (religious principles). 
  2. Artha (economic development).  
  3. Kama (sense gratification). 
  4. Moksha (liberation). 
"The four principles of life allow one to live according to religious principles, to earn money according to one's position in society, to allow the senses to enjoy the sense objects according to regulations, and to progress along the path of liberation from this material attachment." 

(Srimad Bhagavatam 4. 22. 34 Bhaktivedanta Purport.)
