The human form is a special chance to understand the Absolute Truth. In the lower forms this is not possible. Humans have the necessary intelligence and facilities so we should take advantage of this life to become self-realized and re-establish our relationship with the Supreme Lord.
The purpose of life is to give pleasure to the Supreme life, the Supreme Personality of Godhead. That is the reason we exist. We are His eternal, spiritual energy, and our constitutional position is to serve His desires. At the present time we find ourselves covered by material bodies and minds and therefore bewildered by the illusory energy. In this state we think we are these temporary bodies and minds. With this misidentification as the basis for our consciousness, how can we know what is the purpose of our life? If a madman thinks himself to be someone he is not, how can he understand what he should or should not do? First we have to understand who we are before we can know what the purpose of our life is.
There are basically two paths. One path is to think we are the body and when the body dies we are finished also. In that view, what possible purpose could anyone's life have? If we all return to dust in the end, any endeavor to make sense of life is just a madman's game. Instead of having a true purpose in life, the rationale becomes simply to 'enjoy' life, which is nothing more than animal life.
On the other hand, if we are actually eternal and the body is just the vehicle we have for a few years, then our purpose becomes very clear. Our purpose is to understand our eternal nature and what our relationship is to the Supreme. This is the process of self-realization-- purification of consciousness. The advantage of human life is that we are able to inquire about the Absolute Truth and the purpose of life. The animals and other lower life forms cannot do this. But if in the human life a person doesn't make this inquiry, he is no better than an animal.
This is a very good question and I wish you all good fortune on your journey to spiritual realization.

The true and correct aim of any ones life should be to find the eternal bliss. It is the search for this blissful state whch takes men in different directions with different aims hoping to find perinneal happiness. The person who is not aware of this declares or believes his aim is different.

All religions say the same thing.Not just the Bible.
I would say life is a journey,take time off to enjoy the sights,tread carefully and be sure to help out a fellow being.And reach your final destination with a free mind and be happy.
Aim is a relative thing.......You have to set what you want and what your priorities are...what ever it may be accomplish it wholeheartedly and sincerely.

For God "SO" Loved the world that HE gave [Jesus gave Himself] His son so that whosoever [you] IF you will BE-LIVE in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life, Jn 3:16, Also Jn 14:15 IF you love me keep my commandments, you live in A world that everyone dies, but Jesus Christ the second member of the Godhead provided Himself as the Way out of this world Just for you, and IF you love Him enough to obey Him you will be in Heaven with Jesus and me, if not you won't its that simple. Hay free bible lessons www.itiswritten.com, visit A Seventh Day Adventist Church in your area, God bless you, with out Jesus first in your life you have NO aim nor any life in you.

To AIM it in the toilet and if I miss -- clean-up after myself!

The question that mankind can't answer for thousands of years :))). Should we know the answer there wouldn't be religions, corrupt political systems etc. ... not sure there would be further stimulus to move on either. And nothing to discuss for crowds of phylosophers :)
