This question challenges the common idea that spiritual life is about attaining something. In reality, spirituality is about letting go and being free from our possessions and attachments. I was reminded of this recently when I visited a monk in Indonesia who gave all his money to help refugees. This serves as an example of what possessions are truly for. We should learn to not be possessed by our possessions and to let People often have false expectations and sense of ownership in life, but on a spiritual path, one must learn to let go of these things. The most important thing to let go of is the ego, as it causes a lot of suffering and conflict. When one is highly illuminated, they don't care what others think of them and can laugh at their own mistakes. This shows that they are not possessive of their ego and can bring humor and happiness to life. Buddhism does not have a hierarchy Though at times, it is helpful to have a unified voice or principle, Buddhism emphasizes on lowering pride and ego, and not measuring oneself with others. Letting go does not mean getting rid of all possessions or self-worth, but rather not identifying oneself with titles or material wealth. Success and happiness in life do not solely depend on external security, but also inner peace and contentment. Letting go does not mean complete laziness, but rather working without attachment to the results or for the joy The term "eliminate oneself" in Buddhism refers to letting go of the ego, not eliminating passions. It means eliminating the sense of "me" or "I" and embracing a sense of "us". This leads to compassion and motivation to work towards the betterment of society. IQ is not a measure of success, and emotional intelligence, the ability to form relationships, is more important. The question of whether Nirvana is guaranteed is not a simple question, but one that can lead us to explore deeper into the nature of life. Nirvana is the ultimate happiness and is the result of following the path of Dharma, which is understanding the laws of life and working towards compassion and the community. This path leads to success, happiness, and the ultimate happiness of Nirvana.
