so, dharma as in the natural order of things, justice, law, these are the eternal rules of life and the universe 

artha as in human health, prosperity, skill, fulfilment

kama is about desire, pleasure and enjoyment of the sensory things 

moksha as in spiritual enlightenment and seeing the bigger picture 

and those are the four puruṣārthas in Hinduism.

all of his emerges from Brahman, the divine creator or the universe. the devas (deities) are the manifestations or avatars of Brahman.

in Christianity you can compare to Jesus as an avatar of God, and to some extent, the prophets and saints.

it's an interesting viewpoint on what i essentially consider one and the same thing. 

 @c721880c also Atman, which is the god within us is much like same than Holy Spirit in christianity. 

 i'm kind of tempted to say, knowing a little more about the basics of Hinduism, that Buddhism is basically Simplified Hinduism.
