In the salvific-bodhisattva fable
      we imagine one
            who delays or defers or diminishes Freedom
                  to engender Freedom
                        in another.

The salvific-bodhisattva fable
      comes to the world neither of, nor through, nor from Free Mind
            but rather emanates from Ignorant Mind
                  as a fantasy of zero-sum self-glorification
                        that redounds from the imagined voluntary self-diminution
                              of a celebrated salvific Exemplar.

No one who understands Freedom
      would say or imagine that it can be deferred
            once it is understood.
No one who understands Freedom
      would declare that its deferral or diminution could somehow effect,
            or might somehow be necessary for the engendering by a Teacher of,
                  Freedom in another.
No one who understands Freedom
      would claim that any salutary action in the world
            is made less effective or less possible
                  through the living of Freedom.

Harboring the fable of salvific bodhisattvahood—
      that effort by self or another, and not understanding of What Is, Frees,
            that deferral or sacrifice of Freedom by self or another could Free
                  or be necessary to Free
                        or be conducive to Freeing
                              self or another—
Is itself deferral
Of the understanding that is Freedom.
