  9. The Four Aims • All Hindus live with 4 goals: • Dharma – righteousness (right behavior) • Artha – success/prosperity • Kama – satisfaction of desires • Moksha – release from “samsara,” the life cycle

  10. Atman= soul • Every living thing has one • The body is mortal, but the soul is immortal • Reincarnation – soul is reborn in another form • Dharma- your record • Karma- law of consequences • Samsara- transmigration & reincarnation • Ultimate goal: moksha & nirvana • Your atman blends with Brahman (the universal spirit) and becomes part of it.
