Artha – The Second PurusarthaArtha refers to the means and tools needed to support one’s Dharma, focusing on material wealth, prosperity, and economic security. It is not about accumulation but aligning resources with values to fulfill life’s purpose responsibly and ethically.To pursue Artha within Dharma’s boundaries, one must choose ethical livelihoods and practice non-attachment to wealth. Living within one’s means, avoiding debt, and appreciating life’s richness beyond material possessions fosters contentment.Selfless service (karma yoga) helps cultivate gratitude and connection, making wealth a tool for greater good. Yogis understand that effort alone does not guarantee prosperity—karma also plays a role, encouraging trust in life’s flow.In practice, our bodies are essential tools for fulfilling purpose. Through asana, breath, and meditation, we create steadiness and ease, leading to clarity and alignment with our highest aspirations.Mantra: “I am open and willing, please guide me.”To read more and to practice with Zephyr Wildman, click here.
