An illustration based on three of the four methods written about in ancient Hindu texts of how to reach contact with God, or become enlightened. The first on the left is the path of worship, the middle is the path of hard work, and the far right one is the path of meditation. The fourth, inherent knowledge of God, was too vague for a cartoon representation, or maybe I was being lazy. Idunno.

Chrystine Says:

Nice representation, maybe for the fourth you could have the person as an infant holding the apple? Or, already up in the tree. *shrugs* Just a thought, it's cool nonetheless

Dead Fish Says:

You really have come up with one of the best illustrations of three of the four ways of enlightenment

Just realized how much this actually rocks.
