Shaku says Nirvana ''means the extinction of lust, not of love; extinction of evil, not of existence; of egotistic craving, not of life.
The eradication of all that is evil in man's heart will set all his energies free for good deeds and he is no genuine Buddhist who would not devote his life to active work and a usefulness that would refuse neither his friends nor strangers, nor even his very enemies.''
