What people refer to purusharth in this world, is really a language of illusion. Things happen because your past karmas come into effect, and to claim, ‘I did it’ is egoism. The real purusharth, the true purusharth begins only after one becomes the Purush (Self-realized). It is only then that your belief of ‘I am the doer’ is destroyed. It is the state of absolute ‘non-doer ship’. All that is relative is prakruti and the Purush (the Self) is real. What then is real purusharth? Real purusharth is when You (the Self) remain the knower (gnata) and the seer (drashta) when someone is cutting your hand. Knowing (gnankriya) and seeing (darshankriya) are the only activities of the Self. The soul does not have any other activity. True purusharth is when the Self remains in the state of the knower and the seer.
