In English
The word is generally associated with worldly desires and sensual pleasures. But, when it is considered as the Purushartha - as one of the purposes of life - it relates to the yearning for God and not to mundane desires. The term is generally understood as referring to the means by which one reaches God or Heaven. But one can be in Heaven only for the period earned by one's meritorious deeds and at the end will have to be reborn again. But in the true sense refers to a state in which nothing is lacking and there is no incoming or going out. It is a state without name or form. It is not a specific place to go to. It is the attainment of unity with the Divine.
