(Preface: I have no idea what I'm talking about.)
Awakening is not about becoming a saint. Perhaps "be kind" is a good hint and tool for awakening. And perhaps one result of awakening is saintly behavior. But to conclude that the point of awakening is to be a saint totally misses the mark. Of course, it's how many people think of religion, which makes it no surprise that it so rarely has its intended effect.
