In Advayavada Buddhism we do not believe that the human regime, let alone any particular aspect of it, such as the advance of human understanding, is the measure of things in space and time, but that the whole of infinite existence is. We are convinced that the objective of the Middle Way expounded by the Buddha as the correct existential attitude and way of life is the abandonment of all fixed views and to reconnect and reconcile us with wondrous overall existence and that the Middle Way in its dynamic Noble Eightfold Path form must consequently be seen as an ongoing reflexion at the level of our personal lives of wondrous overall existence becoming over time now in its right direction. In Advayavada Buddhism to follow the Eightfold Path is therefore not seen as a means to become something else in the future, but indeed as the way to become rightaway as wondrous overall existence becoming over time here and now. It is this process of being as existence now that we experience in human terms as progress and which makes us conclude, by induction if you will, that indifferent overall existence, also expressed purely in terms of human perception and experience, progresses as well. Nirvana is when we experience our own existence in the present moment as being completely in tune with existence as a whole becoming over time now. To experience our own existence thus causes the total extinction of all suffering as a direct result of our full reconciliation with reality as it truly is.
