Are we all supposed to achieve nirvana in this life itself?

Nope..it can be many lives to come..I read a story once of 2 religious people who asked a Jnaani when they would attain Nirvana/Moksha..

The Jnaani told them both that to take a look at a tree and told them the tree is full of leaves and they have the same number of births as the number of leaves on the tree.

The 1st person was so disappointed and was feeling frustrated that he wont attain Moksha in this life itself.

The 2nd person was beaming with joy and was very very happy and jumping around saying "I am so happy that one day I will finally reach Moksha"
