that's an excellent question and i struggled with this myself. But you come to realize that, remember here - you are absolute infinity, which is all possiblities.
That means you can actually experience absolute infinity, if even for a few minutes during a mystical experience (higher state of consciousness)
You come back as your ego, so you don't lose your ego - only more intelligent and more self-actualized. You are literally grabbing more consciousness everytime this happens and your suffering will start to melt away, literally before your eyes, as time goes on.
Your goal is to become so self actualized that you are as close to infinity as "humanly" possible which is going to VERY blissful.
Think of it like this - you will have 99.99999 percent bliss and the remaining is suffering.
So you can't get rid of the suffering completely until you literally BECOME infinity forever, which is death.
In which case i believe you will reincarnate as another being, once again forgetting who you really are, and the process starts all over again - but note, there is no pain anywhere in that because you won't remember who you were before.
So that's what Leo means when you have the next xxx amount of years left in life (depending on how old you are) to continue to diminish your suffering to the point where you life pretty much is bliss all the time, and that's as perfect as we can be. You can even experience COMPLETE infinity if only for a time even while you are alive (because it has to be, as being is infinite possiblities)
You will also gain 99.99999 percent of infinite intelligence (consciousness) if you can get that self actualized as well.
This whole thing is WAY more powerful than you know unless you have been enlightened - and even if you have, that's just the beginning as you have to continue your work until the end.
Hope that helps.
