The Goal of Mahayana Buddhism is Bodhimind

The three yanas (vehicle) in Mahayana Buddhism are divided into Sravakayana, Pratyekayana and Buddhayana/ Mahayana. Understanding that the differences in the scope of Theravada and Mahayana Buddhism, changes the goal from freedom from suffering, pain and misery to that of total knowledge of everything that there to be known. Hence the Mahayana path provides the practice to the perfection of the bodhimind. In both the Mahayana and Theravada path, wisdom and compassion are always present. The Four Noble Truths form the base for compassion and wisdom.
