Let the position vectors of the vertices $A, B$ and $C$ of a triangle be $2 \hat{i}+2 \hat{j}+\hat{k}$,$\hat{i}+2 \hat{j}+2 \hat{k}$ and $2 \hat{i}+\hat{j}+2 \hat{k}$ respectively. Let $l_1, l_2$ and $l_3$ be the lengths of perpendiculars drawn from the orthocenter of the triangle on the sides $AB, BC$ and $CA$ respectively,then $l_1^2+l_2^2+l_3^2$ equals:
