“Oh, good man! The Bodhisattva Mahasattva, having listened well to this sutra, befriends it, practices the Way, and segregates himself from the worldly life. This is seeking little to possess. In renouncing the world, he feels no remorse. This is feeling satisfied. Feeling satisfied, he seeks lonely places and turns away from all noises. This is all-silent quietude. Those who do not feel satisfied do not desire to be in a lonely and quiet place; those who are satisfied seek a lonely and quiet place. In a quiet place, he [i.e., the Bodhisattva] always think: 'All the people say that I attained the end of the Shramana’s search of the Way. But I still have not reached it. How could I deceive others now?’ Thinking thus, he strives, learns and performs the final attainment of the Shramana’s Way. This is effort.”
Nirvana Sutra, Chapter 33, on Bodhisattva Lion's Roar 1.
