Jnana Yoga is Your Path to Divine Illumination

Jnana yoga literally means Yoga of Knowledge and Understanding. This is the path which will lead us to achieve divine illumination or spiritual oneness with the higher soul. Spiritual oneness means that our incarnated soul is achieving oneness with our higher soul and a certain oneness with God too. Jnana yoga helps us in understanding who we really are! Here we are not referring to not only intellectual knowledge but spiritual knowledge. 

The time taken to achieve illumination may vary from one person to another. But why is this so? It is because one lifetime is not enough to achieve this type of enlightenment. Jnana yogis have taken many incarnations to achieve this state because one lifetime is very short. 

How do we need to prepare ourselves for the Yoga of Knowledge and Understanding? We need to achieve physical purification along with inner purification or character building. If we do not have physical purification, our etheric body might become sick. Similarly, if we do not have inner purification, the mediator might become psychologically imbalanced. Our beloved Master has always emphasized on character building. He said that without inner purification illumination is not possible as much as we try. It is also important to neutralize our negative Karma. This could be done with good service and tithing. 
A Step Closer to Our Higher Soul
Jnana Yoga is one of the best ways of becoming aware of the eternal question: ‘Who am I?’ Jnana yoga helps us in understanding, what is the ultimate aim of our incarnated soul. People who are searching for answer regarding their existence will be greatly helped by the practice of this yoga. Incarnations after incarnations we have thought ourselves to be micro and helpless. But that is not the case. Our incarnated body is a part of our higher soul and moving a little bit close to it with every birth we take is the aim of our incarnated lives. 

Yoga of Knowledge and Understanding will give a purpose to our life. We will know that god is the ultimate source of divine energy or spiritual energy and we all are the children of God. 

Master Choa Kok Sui has said about Jnana or Awareness: 

Awareness helps you to listen to the subtle voice, the whisper of your higher soul. You become aware of your Buddha nature, your soul. Awareness is necessary for spiritual evolution. To have inner awareness, one must practice self-honesty and detachment.

Immortality: Myth or Reality?

“The soul never takes birth and never dies at any time nor does it come into being again when the body is created. The soul is birth less, eternal, imperishable and timeless and is never destroyed when the body is destroyed.”  -The Bhagavad Gita   Is immortality simply a far-fetched concept? Mankind’s feeble attempt at defying and defeating Death? How could all religious texts, all spiritual gurus and all the great ones provide vehement assurance for the concept of immortality if it was nothing more than a pleasant lie to sugar-coat the bitter truth of death? Is there a greater immortality than being remembered for one’s deeds and living on in the memories of others? Is there really a  life after death ?  Many have been driven by this strong need to conquer death. It was in the quest to attain immortality that the Chinese king, Qin Shi Huang, took mercury capsules. As fate would have it, these mercury pills resulted in his death instead of gaining him i...

Four Techniques to Survive Your day

“FOUR TECHNIQUES TO SURVIVE YOUR DAY” As we well know, modern life is getting ever more packed with work, family, social responsibilities, and more.  One hundred years ago, single-tasking was probably all there was.  We didn’t have a phone ringing just as we were changing lanes on a busy highway or work message alerts going off at home while squeezing shoes on our kids. Working too much and being busy morning till night can take a toll on multiple levels and even amount to a serious health condition down the line.  We say we should therefore re-organize our schedules and decline commitments or additional responsibilities to stay healthy.  We may even go for a career change or move to a town with a slower pace of life. But what if we could accomplish all we are currently committed to–or more–with a genuine smile on our faces and plenty of energy till 10:00 at night? Some of us can’t change our jobs or schedules–or we love what we are doing and don’t wan...
