Nirvana Can Wait

Bodhisattva, have you forgotten? It is no accident that you are here. Remember, you chose freely of your own will to be here now. Nirvana was always too dull for you.

Oh, only one eternity you ask, hardly enough time to attend to so many souls! But if there was any other reward than the job itself, it wouldn’t have appealed so much to you. Yes, it is a messy job, but someone has to do it.

So, strap on your sword and take up your shield and back into the fray. Nirvana can wait, there are sentient beings to be saved.
