Tell me, Subhuti. Anyone saying such a thing would also be saying that there is indeed an ego that attains something, and something to attain. These are not the thoughts of someone who understands your message. Lord, you have said that I have been successful in achieving peace and freedom from passions. In fact, I no longer crave the status of a saint.
Adornments are illusions, and illusions have no place in the heavens.
And so Bodhisattvas should rid their minds of ego, and cease their preferences for one odor or another, one sound or another, one sight or another. A Bodhisattva should have no attachment or aversion to anything. Because a great man is only words, and being a great man is an illusion, created by the belief in ego. The Buddha answered, Call it The Diamond Sutra on the Perfection of Wisdom. Then Subhuti suddenly had a full awareness of the meaning of the sermon, and was moved to tears.
