Abstract

1.Suprabhatam, Sushwagatam……(good morning and welcome)
2.Jnana Yoga is intellectual understanding and experienced enlightenment.
3.Questioning is part of study and learning.
4.A thief who is intellectually sharp is not a Jnani (knowledgeable). His intellectual sharpness is not enlightenment.
5.Happiness, satisfaction and bliss come with knowledge.
6.Rishis (saints) are happy in themselves because of their knowledge.
7.Each soul is potentially divine. Jnana Yoga is understandings about soul.
8.Soul is immortal. It can’t be killed by sword. Even the threat of life can’t scare a person with knowledge about soul.
9.We became aware about inner silence and bliss.
10.Contemplation and inner research for silence is Jnana Yoga. Let’s meditate with beautiful smile on the face.
