The goal of the Veda is to stop the repitition of birth and death which is called reincarnation:

For many Westerners, philosophy is a kind of armchair speculation, an intellectual game, but for followers of the Vedas, it is a matter of life and death. Or, more precisely, it is the recognition of the absolute need to stop the repetition of birth and death. For Srila Prabhupada real philosophy deals with applying absolute knowledge in our daily lives consciously, moment by moment.
