Jnana Vijnana Yoga

The Yoga of Knowledge and Wisdom

Sanskrit Verse

Udarah sarva evaite jnani tv atmaiva me matam, asthitah sa hi yuktatma mam evanuttamam gatim

Translation & Meaning

All these devotees are certainly noble souls, but I consider the jnani to be My very Self. Established in yoga, the jnani has attained Me as the supreme goal. While all four types of devotees are noble, the enlightened devotee (jnani) who sees no distinction between self and God is considered the most exalted.

Key Teachings

  • All sincere devotees are noble regardless of their level
  • The jnani realizes non-difference between self and God
  • The highest yoga is to see the Supreme as one's own true nature
