The four pillars of a good life based on Kautilya’s Arthashastra
The impending and ultimate reality of life, as per Chanakya, is moksha, or the process of freeing oneself from the cycle of life and birth. This pillar of Chanakya focuses on spiritual development, inner wisdom, and peace. Moksha or salvation can be attained through wisdom, discipline, and relinquishing all worldly possessions or attachments. It is the highest degree of fulfillment after material possessions and other indulgences.
