Four petals of Muladhara Chakra

The four pillars of human consciousness guide a successful life. One must work to protect one's dharma. You cannot protect everything yourself; everything has its own protectors. Human nature is great; what is polluted can be purified, and what is endangered can be saved. The proper way relates to environment, family, society, body, and ruler. The entire universe is working and is not dead. Everything is connected to our ancestors. Mokṣa means to live truly as a human, with the innocence of children.

Mokṣa means to live truly as a human, with the innocence of children.
