If we pose this question to anyone, the answer varies; and to many it may sound spirituality. But in practical sense, what are we doing in our lifetime? It pertains to the significance of living or existence in general, and we search for means to fulfil one or all of the opulences (riches) in life.
There are six opulences# (riches) in life:
- Health (Strength)
- Wealth
- Fame
- Beauty
- Knowledge (Intellect)
- Renunciation
We need to learn, experience and enjoy all the six riches (step by step, not really simultaneously, and at the same time not one after other completely; but in stages – first one level of all six, then expansion into second level of all six, and so on, expansion in stages is the key) so as to lead an accomplished or fulfilling life.
