Jnana Yoga utilizes a one-pointed meditation on a single question of self-inquiry to remove the veils of illusion created by your concepts, world views, and perceptions. This practice allows you to realize the temporary and illusionary nature of maya and to see the oneness of all things.

Jnana yoga is not based on a particular dogma that the gurus teach and that you have to learn. It is a way of discovering the truth and understanding it for yourself. Jnana yoga says that truth requires consistency. For something that appears then disappears cannot be regarded as absolute. Consistency is what helps us differentiate between the truth and the illusions of Maya’. It is true that the ever-changing appearances have some truth hidden within them too! But Jnana yoga aims to discover the absolute truth only. To fulfil this goal, it constantly makes you question yourself. It asks you to not look at your experiences that are ever changing but to make note of your behavior that remains constant. You have to observe what is essential to all your experiences. What is the one connection between all of them? Most importantly, it makes you ask yourself, ‘Who am I?’ To prepare himself/herself to receive the teachings of the Brahman, the jnana yoga disciple needs to first acquire the four means of salvation or the ‘Sadhana Chatushtaya’. These include ‘Viveka’ or the ability to distinguish between right and wrong, ‘Vairagya’ or indifference and detachment from all that is worldly, ‘Shad sampat’ or the six virtues of life and ‘Mumukshutva’ or a burning desire for liberation or moksha. ‘Shad Sampat’ or the six virtues of life includes peace of mind, control over the senses, renunciation of all activities for the sake of entertainment, endurance, faith and complete concentration or focus. read less
