Another point to add is that the map was initially comprehanded in waking state with all the implicit waking state limitations that one is necessarily oblivious to in waking state. Then there is a certain experience of Realization (stable or not) and the waking state map fits to a certain extent but not perfectly. Other traditions/gurus can offer conceptual tools that help make sense out of the experience. Buddha's and Adi Shankara's enlightenment are the same, but they articulate it in different ways. In my own experience I have found Buddha, initially, and later Ramana Maharishi (and Gangaji) extremely helpful in understanding what's going on.
