Guest guest Posted October 16, 2006 Report Share Posted October 16, 2006 Sure... It is called " I am That " map! From a distance this map seem to contain just One Dot... The One Dot denoting Oneness... The one Dot denotion Self... But, coming close, you see that even that Dot is... naught! It was just an illusion... The Dot and the Canvas are in fact just one You see that the Destination, the Origin, The Route and the traveller are in fact... just One... And, no matter Where you are... You are Never Lost! Then, far below in the corener, you see something written in fine letters... " you are That " . ~Nis You turn the map, see on the back of the map the words of Ramana whom Nis so much revered: " Who " is the looker? Find out who the " looker " is. Hold the looker and... all " looking " will dissapaer! Find the " looker " and, there is no need to " look " anywhere else!
