[parent] proof of Nakayama's lemma (Proof)

(This proof was taken from [1].)

If $M$ were not zero, it would have a simple quotient, isomorphic to $R/\mathfrak{m}$ for some maximal ideal $\mathfrak{m}$ of $R$ Then we would have $\mathfrak{m}M\neq M$ so that $\mathfrak{a}M\neq M$ as $\mathfrak{a}\subseteq \mathfrak{m}$
