Jñāna Yoga

Hindu path of knowledge seeking liberation through discriminating wisdom that distinguishes eternal Self from temporary phenomena. Jnana yoga employs philosophical inquiry, scriptural study, and self-investigation to realize one's true nature as pure consciousness. This intellectual approach uses reason and contemplation to transcend identification with body, mind, and ego, recognizing the Self as unlimited awareness. Modern jnana yogis combine traditional Vedantic texts with contemporary philosophical inquiry to achieve direct realization of non-dual reality through rigorous mental discipline.
