Jnana Yoga
Vivekananda's exposition of Jnana Yoga presents the path of knowledge and intellectual discrimination as the most direct route to realizing the oneness of Atman and Brahman. Rooted in Advaita Vedanta, he taught that ignorance of our true divine nature is the sole cause of bondage, and that liberation comes through the relentless inquiry into the nature of the Self. His Jnana Yoga lectures systematically unfold the Vedantic concepts of Maya, the Absolute, and the identity of the individual soul with the universal Spirit.
