CINDY MASTRY: The Sanskrit term Jnana means knowledge. Jnana yoga is the path of knowledge. Unlike Bhakti or karma yoga which is based in faith, Jnana yoga is based on knowledge, inquiry, asking questions. It is one pointed concentration on one question and you must reject all facts, all truths, reject everything that is known and look inside to find the answer to that question. If you have to ask what is the question, then you are not ready for Jnana yoga. Because in Jnana yoga, the question will present itself to you. And then you will spend your time in self study finding the answer to that question. So it is all about asking questions, knowledge, seeking the truth from your intuitive gut feel power, not listening to what you have been taught, not listening to some facts discovered by somebody else. You must discover the facts inside, gut feel for yourself. Now you do not just do this by sitting around thinking. You also practice meditation and pranayama or breathe work. But it is all about one pointed concentration to one fact, one question that you find the answer to through intuitive gut feel.
