Systems of religion and philosophy that coalesce several smaller systems have always been a particularly effective way of communicating spiritual truth and its wisdom in India. In this dharma art wisdom chart, three such systems have been brought together to lend more depth and intensity to the spiritual path, and to the ongoing sadhana that opens it for daily exploration.

Cutting through False Superimposition #124
The Sanskrit word, viveka, is of utmost importance today, at least for the sincere spiritual aspirant who is serious about attaining freedom in this very life. Discernment of the spiritual variety is what turns the ordinary pathway of religious convention into a broad avenue of inner communion. Common devotion to God is transformed into an ecstatic relationship with the Divine if viveka is present in the human mind. And as this dharma chart shows, discrimination of this kind should be applied to all stages and levels of life, like action and inaction. Then only will the obscuring clouds of false superimposition, called vivarta, part and dissolve, leaving the even-minded seeker fully at rest in all modes of existence.
The Nine-Step Process of Meditation on AUM #101
Luminaries, adepts, practitioners, and even devotees of other religions have all contemplated the great Principle of AUM from the Vedic tradition. As direct instructions go, few are as deep and complete as Shankara’s integrated look at this profound Word, that stands at the head of all projected things and all manifestation. It utilizes most of the powerful tools of advanced spirituality, fused perfectly with the most sublime philosophical tenets known to the seers and sages of Mother India. With this chart on full display wherever spiritual seekers are bound to gather, the incomparable secrets of The Word and its deepest meanings will never disappear from human consciousness again.
The Corrosion of Consciousness #126
An “old bucket of rusty nails” is a good symbolic definition for all the unresolved karmas, past and present, that both harm and influence human mind and thought today. If the human mind were posed as the bucket, and all its thoughts were the nails inside, the obvious negativity present there would be the acidic corrosion going on. In this ingenious wisdom chart, the call to wakeup to the dangerous presence of gradually fructifying karmas, and the order of ones own will to do something about them, gets proposed. It is spiritual practice, always ongoing, and under the supervision of the spiritual preceptor, that provides the solution. Otherwise, the household today, and even the monastery — as Lord Buddha indicates here — are at dire risk.
Lack of Spiritual Success & Its Causes #100
A common occurrence and complaint among aspiring sadhikas and practitioners, in every age, is the lack of any appreciable progress along the path, sometimes even in the face of an active and ongoing spiritual practice. In the Vivekachudamani, Shankara takes this problem to task for the benefit of sincere seekers after Enlightenment. Most often it is an unclear or distorted perspective that hampers advancement, so the seeker, obtaining right guidance from the preceptor, must look both backwards and inwards to effect a solution. Then, and as long as the courage of one’s convictions remains steady and long-lived, certain signs appear that allow the practitioner to move forward with all assurance. All of this, and more is outlined in Shankara’s indepth scrutiny of all aspects surrounding this problem.
