Guest guest Posted October 13, 2006 Report Share Posted October 13, 2006 A map for self realization based on the wisdom teachings of Shri Nisargadatta Maharaj The preparation of the map began as a study aid for myself while reading ‘I Am That’, a primer of Shri Nisargadatta Maharaj’s wisdom teachings, followed by my reading almost ALL his books. Once I myself understood the topography I used it as a teaching aid to other lovers of non-duality or Maharaj’s teachings who are in search of ‘That’. The map has been prepared in Corel draw 11 and can be seen to contain several ‘Themes or routes for Transcendence’ that have been color coded: The Red theme is the Main theme: From Personality to Person to Presence to Absence to Absence of Absence. The Green or States of consciousness theme: From the Awake state to Dream to Deep Sleep to ‘The Fourth’ to ‘Beyond the Fourth’. The Blue or Speech theme: From the Spoken Word to Tangible word to Intangible word to Source word to No word. The Brown-Yellow or Being theme: From Being+knowing+Doing to Being+Knowing to Being to Non-Being. The Maroon or Triad theme: From Mind (attachment mode) to Self (Detachment mode) to Spirit (Transcendence mode). The Brown or Buddha theme: Gone (awake transcended), Gone (dream transcended), Gone beyond (deep sleep transcended), Gone Altogether beyond (the fourth transcended) O! What an awakening, all hail!(From the heart sutra). One may observe that the routes or themes run almost parallel with the Main Red theme and all end up from illusion to reality in The Absolute. The map can be extremely useful when consulted while reading along with ‘I Am That’ and serves the purpose of getting the fundamentals right the next would be the meditation on ‘ I Am ‘ or the different themes or the practice(the sadhana) and finally , if you get it right till there, would be the dropping off( which occur automatically) of the entire concept as it was unreal anyway !

Guest guest Posted October 16, 2006 Report Share Posted October 16, 2006 The map has been prepared in corel draw 11 and has been condensed as a zip file for mailing and downloading purposes as all computers do not have a corel draw program and moreover I found the corel draw format a bit difficult and time consuming to attach. I could not follow by what you meant by GPS compatible ? I am mailing a zip file directly to you, I wonder if it would serve your purpose? pradeep mstrdmmlbrn <mstrdmmlbrn wrote: Nisargadatta , Pradeep Apte <prdp_apte wrote: > > A map for self realization > based on the wisdom teachings of > Shri Nisargadatta Maharaj > The preparation of the map began as a study aid for > myself while reading `I Am That', a primer of Shri > Nisargadatta Maharaj's wisdom teachings, followed by > my reading almost ALL his books. > Once I myself understood the topography I used it as a > teaching aid to other lovers of non-duality or > Maharaj's teachings who are in search of `That'.
