Abstract

1.Friends………..Saffron denotes sacrifice. White is for purity and Green is for prosperity.
2.Jnana Yoga takes us to ultimate of self knowledge. Self knowledge is knowledge of cosmos.
3.Listening, studying, examining and understanding are process of receiving knowledge.
4.On the earth, we see sun rise and sun set. Beyond, orbit of earth, sun doesn’t rise and sets.
5.Similarly, we are illusion that mind and body take birth and die.
6.When we realize our self or soul, we find there is no birth or death. It is stage when we become witness to our mind and body.
7.Body dies. Heart and pulse rate ceases. All parts of body keep differing from birth after birth.
8.Soul remains same. Self-introspection becomes highest knowledge for any time. Our self knowledge is covered like clouds covering sun.
9.Perceptions are deceptive. Reasoning becomes defective with ego. Dreams are part of delusion. World appears like delusion. Awareness of truth about self-knowledge takes away the clouds like delusion.
10.Let’s absorb in transcendental bliss and peace through Jnana Yoga i.e. discovery of truth.
