Ashtavakra Gita 16.5 -

Every time mind is the sole focus for the seeker. Every day of seeking must enrich the seeker so well that he feels lesser and lesser dependence and craving. The mind becomes more and more free and unaffected.

Human life is meant to adopt and pursue a four-fold object. It is not four distinct objects, but one pursuit with four phases integral to each other. The first is dharma, righteousness, the virtue and discipline to govern one’s thoughts, words and deeds. Through dharma, one may acquire wealth to meet the needs and desires of life. Using dhārmic wealth, gratifying desires is the third phase. Thereupon one has to outlive all the three, and strive for freedom from all mento-intellectual shackles. This is the fourth purushārtha, rendering human life full and fulfilled to the core.

One has to grow through all the three and then gain the fourth. But those with sufficient discrimination and dispassion are free to strive straightaway for moksha. Unless one has desires, where is the question or need to gratify them? By realizing the Self, one gets all fulfilment. Discretion demands that one should straight take up the fourth pursuit. For such seekers thoughts and evaluations of this kind are very relevant. They should rise above all dvandvas, even bondage and liberation. Indifference to purushārthas is part of such transcendence.
