Jnana Yoga: The Yoga of Knowledge is a book about one of the four main paths of yoga in Hindu philosophy, focusing on the pursuit of wisdom, self-realization, and understanding the nature of reality. It is often called the "Yoga of Knowledge" or the "Path of Knowledge" because it emphasizes the development of insight and discernment through study, reflection, and meditation. The essence of Jnana Yoga is the realization of the true self (Atman) and its connection to the ultimate reality or universal consciousness (Brahman). The path leads to the understanding that the individual self and the universe are not separate, but are manifestations of the same divine reality. Jnana Yoga seeks to dissolve the illusion of separation and help practitioners transcend the ego and the mind's false identification with the body.
