Buddha taught that we must strive to obtain a level of consciousness where ego surrenders and we become fully awake.
Even though thinking of the reward for such an accomplishment is actually antithetical to its attainment, it is this: you cannot suffer when you are not thinking of yourself.

Now, that is the loftiest of peaks that will not be easily conquered,
and is not graced when the objective is merely to place your heart’s
flag upon it, as a lonely, effete monument of your effort, only to turn
your back against it and descend back into the valley of your ego. Yet
who can long survive making a home in such a rarified atmosphere?
