Jnana Yoga
Another popular Yoga type is the Jnana Yoga. Jnana Yoga emphasizes the use of the mind to surpass the mind i.e. to discern the mind. The aim of Jnana Yoga is to endeavor ceaselessly to explore knowledge and to know and understand. Jnana Yoga is eight-limbed, and its other seven limbs are detachment, self-discipline, longing for freedom, hearing the truth, reflection upon that truth, and meditation. Jnana Yoga aims at attaining liberation through knowledge and not by rituals and ceremonies. Knowledge attained by Jnana Yoga is through understanding of judgment and experience.
It is not that everyone is knowledgeable. Knowledge is only for the special few who are prepared for sound examination and clear discernment of the nature of Consciousness. The individual who chooses the path Of Jnana Yoga to discern knowledge goes through conclusions accumulated through millions of years. Afterwards the individual examines them in the light of his own intelligence and then comes to his own realization. In deep meditation, the knowledge seeker reflects the distinctiveness of Consciousness in manifestation. After going through this rigorous process of Jnana Yoga the knowledge seeker gains insight and perfect realization.
