The ultimate aim is to gain the Supreme Knowledge and become one with the Supreme Being.
Several spiritual paths have been prescribed to achieve this transformation. Love, nonviolence, good conduct and the law of dharma define the Hindu path. Hinduism explains that the soul reincarnates until all Karmas are resolved and God realization is attained.
At the Heart of Hinduism is the monotheistic principle of Brahman. The entire universe is basically a representation of the Supreme Soul, and He is present in each and every thing, human and animal, animate and non-animate.

As members of society, our minds are endlessly bombarded and ensconced in the dealings of the everyday world. However, every so often, the mind endeavors to achieve a separation from reality to comprehend the meaning of life, communicate with God, or even to understand the true nature of the Self. The mission of Hinduism is Moksha, which means is to attempt to provide all answers to these complicated issues by nurturing an interest in God, philosophy and religion, for which an understanding of these issues is imperative.
The ultimate goal of Hinduism through Moksha, is to arouse the idle mind so that it may begin to perceive and appreciate knowledge, and then strive towards liberation of the soul and spirit, re-uniting itself with the supreme soul breaking the chain of birth and death cycles.

The aim is success at 4 'Purusharthas'.
'Dharma', 'Artha', 'Kama' & 'Moksha'.
Broadly speaking, 'Dharma' means "right way of living" "proper conduct," especially in a religious sense.
'Artha' is a Sanskrit term referring to the idea of material prosperity.
It is the second lowest rung on the ladder of reincarnation, above kama (physical or emotional pleasure) but below dharma (righteousness) and moksha (salvation).
'Kama' involves sensual gratification, sexual fulfillment, pleasure of the senses, love, and the ordinary enjoyments of life.
'Moksha' or 'Mukti' refers, in Indian religions (Hinduism and Buddhism), to liberation from the cycle of death and rebirth and all the suffering and limitation entailed in embodied worldly existence.
