Esoteric Teaching: Anatomy of the Path Part 2

This series is classified *Introductory | General*
Continued from the previous part. Similar to the Fall, the Path is divided into 6 sections or stages. Although they are presented linearly, in practice they go on simultaneously on different levels of consciousness. 

The stages of the Path are taken from Upadeṣa Undiyar by Śrī Rāmaṇa Mahārṣi. They can serve as the context and template for all spiritual paths because they are completely universal and non-exclusive. Because Rāmaṇa is a fully-realized Jñāṇī, he is fully open and affirming, just like Brahman, the Self of All:

“Know that Upadeṣa Undiyar is a light of knowledge [jñāṇa] which our Father Rāmaṇa composed and bestowed upon Muruganar, who entreated, ‘Graciously reveal the secret of spiritual practice [sādhana] so that the people of the world may attain liberation and be saved by giving up the delusion of action: karma’.”
— Upadeṣa Undiyar Prefatory Verse
