“The heavens and nirvana are well and good, strive for those if you want to. I seek to unite high and low, be rid of presuming some better place.”
Pretty sure the Dharma/Buddha says/said something like if you’re working to achieve Nirvana, you’re missing the point. It’s not a place or a state. It is not missing from you, it is not in you, but it IS you. You are the denial of it, you are the acceptance of it.
You can certainly get quite far with concepts of Nirvana or Heaven as a goal, a destination, it’s just not for me. I don’t like the idea of a spiritual destination, as that implies that it’s potentially out of reach.
Aye, but many strive to achieve moksha/liberation, or some kind of heaven, nirvana. They seek an end external to self, aspirations founded on confusion. Many Buddhists want to die, they seek an end to suffering and often that boils down to true death, complete annihilation.
It is indeed me, I Am That. My works are directed to making the best of everything, be the best you can be.
The only permanence in life is longing.

I defer to you being quite further along than me.
Still a great, if not advanced, read.
