Similarly, the Vimalakīrti Sūtra explicitly states that the aim of the bodhisattva is not to renounce saṃsāra or to seek nirvana. Instead, the focus is on nonduality, which involves "neither detesting the world nor rejoicing in liberation." Vimalakīrti‘s final 'comment‘ on nonduality is to keep silent; he declines to make any statement at all regarding ultimate reality. This is because the highest truth simply cannot be expressed (VN 9; Thurman 1976, 67–68), and here, then, is a paradigmatic example of the Mahāyāna depiction of the enlightened state as being beyond conceptuality.
As Nāgārjuna emphasizes, this constitutes a return to the Buddha‘s original message, hat is,to his advice to relinquish all views (MMK 27:30; Garfield 1995, 83).
