Kama

Kama is one of the four fundamental pursuits of life. It is a desire of sexing up oneself, or the feeling aroused in a person to gratify an urge originated from desire. Though it is necessary for creation, the excess of beyond a limit becomes the cause of fall of a person. Is such a case it turns into one of the three doors of Narak (ie the Hell in Hindu mythology), the Srimad Bhagvadgita says.

Kama, in essence, means sex in all its manifestations. It applies to all the activities that can be called "the pleasure of the senses". Thus, passion, lust and desire all are Kama.

The life and all its conducts are, directly or indirectly, the product of Kama. It survives in Kama, and it is the driving force for all that we do. All the seven emotions of life Happiness, love, hate, anger, anxiety, fear, and grief are Kama. Everything that we produce is, but the product of Kama.

Even, the Dharm, is the product of Kama, since we have desired to be a society based on justice to all so that everybody can live happily. Matter becomes wealth and meaningful, only because of our pursuit for Kama.
