In Hinduism, the purusharthas are the four chief aims of human life. Arranged from lowest to highest, these goals are: sensual pleasures (kama), worldly status and security (artha), personal righteousness and social morality (dharma), and liberation from the cycle of reincarnation (moksha). All of these are considered acceptable personal goals as long as they follow Vedic morality.
