Ancient sages like Yajnavalkya and lawgivers like Manu propounded the ideology that dharma (right conduct), artha (economic prosperity), kama (fulfillment of all desires, including sexual desires), and moksha (liberation of the soul from the cycle of life and death) are the four desirable objects and ideals that a human being should experience in life. Hindu philosophy did not crystallize around the aims of the state but only around the society as a whole. Their attempt was to establish a harmonious relation between society and the individual, and the manner of that relationship was dictated by the desirable ends of the individual.
