• To maintain internal harmony across all aspects of human existence: body, mind, and consciousness.
Detailed Explanation
Maintaining internal harmony means that all parts of a person—the body, mind, and consciousness—should work together smoothly. This harmony enables individuals to feel balanced and content. When these components are in sync, a person experiences better overall well-being and is more likely to respond positively to life's challenges.
