Based on the principle of progressive evolution of soul.

Doctrine of four ends forms the basis of individual and social life of a Hindu.

The four Ends are :

• Dharma
• Righteousness and good moral and ethical practices in accordance with the scriptures. Includes all duties -- individual, social and religious
  
  
• Artha (Wealth):
• Not an end in itself but basic necessity, one must earn enough wealth in order to raise a family and maintain a household
• Wealth must not be for hoarding but for sharing with those who are poor, handicapped or less fortunate
• Dharma and Artha must be coordinated in order to earn decent living while recognizing that artha is not an ultimate end of Hindu religious life
  
  
• Kama
• Denotes the wants and desires of body and mind in the form of desires, passions, emotions and drives
• Satisfaction of genuine human desires such as art, music, savory food, sports, conjugal love, filial affections, clothes, jewelry etc. are not suppressed but must be satisfied in a controlled fashion
• Through controlled satisfaction of genuine desires and passions, an individual becomes free from kama.
• Freedom from sensual desires and passion is necessary for attaining moksha and is made possible by the proper coordination of dharma, artha, and kama
  
  
• Moksha
• Freedom from cycle of birth and death. To make an individual a better person, so that he/she can live harmoniously in this world and seek union with God.
