'bodhi' means awake and 'sattva' means being so awake being is bodhisattva but there are different versions depending on what you're talking about like the images of great famous bodhisattvas that are basically mediational deities as well may seem separate but one embodies characteristics of those images emblems and symbols and is able to move foward having found things to be workable but it's not so much a consciously embodying of an image or symbol as much as spending time in formal calming meditation as well as formless space mediations and also some kind of visualization practice from the vajrayana point of view then when one is off the cushion there is a natural tendency toward non-conceptual kindness imbued with emptiness/compassion which are inseperable
