This question is further to my last question on Nirvana and Evolution, and considering the answer... If we believe the Buddhist cosmology to be true and Nirvana as an Evolutionary next step why is that very few people actually tread the path to it.

Considering the world religious demographics only 7% of worlds population follow Buddhism and of those who call themselves Buddhists may be just 1% actually want or strive towards Nirvana.

Is intense sufferring an inevitable step to begin striving towards Nirvana? My question is if Buddhist understanding of human condition and psychology is true why only limited few humans want or strive towards Nirvana. If Buddhist cosmology is true why not humans enmasse on the Buddhist path?
