My opinion is that this explanation given by Mahayana/Vajrayana is is rather like 'sales talk' ! How can one' help all sentient beings' (which is impossible) if one still has delusion and emotional obscurations oneself?
(nirvana and enlightenment are also the same thing)

I thought about this question for a while, and I think the idea is that helping others will help you on your path.
