|title = Meaning of "Artha" | |||
|quote = In Sanskrit, Artha has got two meanings, two significances. One is purely psychic. Another is psychic but associated with physical. When it is purely psychic, the word Artha means “meaning”. “What is its Artha?” means “What is its meaning?” Another meaning of Artha is the object, the token, the entity with which you can quench your thirst, that is… Money! | |||

Anything that gives temporary liberation from suffering or bondages is called Artha. Bondages such as the necessity for food, water, clothes, accommodation, medical treatment, etc. are related to this world and are physical in nature. Anything that gives temporary relief from these bondages are called Artha. As mostly money or wealth is required to collect things like food, clothes, accommodation etc, in general "artha" means money or wealth. According to Anandamurti, human beings must continue their efforts to attain artha if they have not yet attained [[Paramartha]].<ref name="Yatamána – 2" /> | Anything that gives temporary liberation from suffering or bondages is called Artha.
