आरोग्यमानृण्यमविप्रवासः सद्भिर्मनुष्यैः सह संप्रयोगः।
स्वप्रत्यया वृत्तिरभीतवासः षट् जीवलोकस्य सुखानि राजन्॥७३
श्रीमहाभारते उद्योगपर्वणि प्रजागरणपर्वणि विदुरनीत्याम् अध्यायः ३३
ārogyamānṛṇyamavipravāsaḥ sadbhirmanuṣyaiḥ saha saṁprayogaḥ|
svapratyayā vṛttirabhītavāsaḥ ṣaṭ jīvalokasya sukhāni rājan ||73

Vidura in his discourse on lifestyle management and statecraft to his brother and king Dhritarashtra ennumerates the six ingredients of comfortable living for a person.
" Oh King, good health, living without any indebtedness, stay at one's own home where he is born and brought up, company and transaction with noble people, an assured means of livelihood to his own taste, and living without fear are the most significant ingredients for a comfortable living for a human being."
There can be no dispute about the above comforts desired by all human beings if they are to find any meaning in life.
Health is the greatest asset. All other things follow..
Indebtedness either material or moral saps the free spirit of man.
Even though most of us are forced to leave our home of birth in search of livelihood, the most comfortable are those that can find a niche in his own native place.Even Rama said, api swarnamayee Lanka na me Lakshmana rochate, jananee janmabhuumischa swargaadapi gareeyasee.. Mother and motherland are more dear to me than even Heaven, and I do not find any attractiveness in this Lanka decked with Gold, Laksmana...were his words.
Cozy and enlightening company of kindred noble souls make life worth living.
The wealth which one would have inherited will not last long and never would suffice for a lifetime.. So an avocation which brings in earnings is a sin qua non.. and one can have peace of mind if and only if that avocation is to his tastes.
Fear can originate from nature, enemies of the nation, from one's own near and dear, from diseases and a plethora of other sources. If such fears are absent the earth becomes a paradise.
The welfare state alone can provide a citizen with the above style of life. So Vidura is indicating at the welfare state that the ruler should provide.
These facts are relevant in their entirety even in the present day scenario

let all my relatives abandon me, let the great people insult me, still I am in supreme bliss since my life is GOVINDA alone.
