Human life is successful only when:

1) nothing remains to be done, (krta-krtya)
2) nothing remains to be known and (gyaat-gyaatavya)
3) nothing remains to be attained. (praapt-praaptavya)

You can attain this state of supreme peace and bliss where nothing remains to be done, to be known and to be attained. Everyone can attain it, whether he is virtuous or sinful, learned or ignorant, worth or unworthy, rich or poor, whether he holds a degree or not. Even if you die today, you need not grieve as the aim of life would be attained.

If out of these three mentioned above, if any one condition is satisfied, the remaining two will be naturally satisfied.

When will nothing remain to be done?

Nothing will remain to be done when you you do nothing for yourself. If you do for yourself, the work can never be complete. It is because the action has a beginning and an end, whereas you remain the same. So something will remain to be done as long as you do for yourself. Something will remain to be done for endless births. It can never be completed. But nothing will remain to be done if you work only for others. In this way when you do nothing for yourself, nothing will remain to be done.

When will nothing remain to be known?

When you know the Self, nothing will remain to be known. But if you don't know yourself, then in spite of all the knowledge in the world of scriptures, philosolphy, languages, etc, something will remain to be known.

When will nothing remain to be attained?

When you attain God (Bhagwaan) thereafter nothing will remain to be attained. Nothing can be attained and acquired by the body, senses, mind, intellect and ego for the Self, as the Self is the illuminator of them all.

You can attain the state of supreme peace and bliss in which nothing
remains to be done, to be known and to be attained.
