 The word jnana means "knowledge", "insight", or "wisdom," and in spiritual contexts has the specific sense of what the ancient Greeks called gnosis, a special kind of liberating knowledge or intuition. In fact, the terms jnana and gnosis are etymologically related through the Indo-European root gno, meaning "to know." Jnaa-Yoga is virtually identical with the spiritual path of Vedanta, the Hindu tradition of nondualism.
Jnana-Yoga is the path of Self-realization through the exercise of gnostic understanding or, to be more precise the wisdom associated with discering the Real from the unreal or illusory. |

| The highest spiritual path is life itself. If you know how to live daily life, it all becomes a liberating experience. But first you have to approach life properly, or it can be very confusing. To begin with, you have to realize that you really only have one choice in this life, and it's not about your career, whom you want to marry, or whether you want to seek God. People tend to burden themselves with so many choices. But, in the end, you can throw it all away and just make one basic, underlying decision: Do you want to be happy, or do you not want to be happy? It's really that simple. Once you make that choice, your path through life becomes totally clear. |

Have you ever wondered why some asanas seem to leave you feeling calm, still, centered and balanced while others seem to leave you agitated, sore and off center?
