Taking the Bodhisattva vow

I went to my first Buddhist meditation retreat last week-end. It was quite powerful. Among other things, I took the Bodhisattva vow. It goes something like this:

"The passions of delusion are inexhaustible. I vow to extinguish them all at once.
The number of beings is endless. I vow to help save them all.
The Truth cannot be told. I vow to tell it.
The Way which cannot be followed is unattainable. I vow to attain it."

It just means that you feel like helping as many people as you can "awaken". To Spirit, to their Self, to Freedom, to Happiness, to Love (starting with your own self of course). Which is pretty much exactly how I feel.
