This talk is a practical and accessible look at Jnana Yoga, the path of wisdom.

By study, self-analysis and awareness, the Jnana yogi ceases to identify with the body or the mind and realizes Oneness. There is somebody behind all the fluctuations in the mind - the Witness, the all-knowing Self.

The path of Self-inquiry enables us to realize that we are that all-knowing Self, but we just don't know it! The path is to watch our own mind, to witness the fluctuations. Know the knower. See the seer. Hear the hearer.

The discussion includes an explanation of how to use the intellectual part of the mind to get beyond the limits of the mind itself. Our ultimate quest is to cut through the temporary ups and downs to find what is real and worthwhile. Both Sri Gurudev and one of his senior monastic disciples, Swami Vidyananda, approach the problem from several angles.

Topics include:

• Who Are You Really?
• What is the Witness?
• What is Liberation
• How to Find Permanent Happiness
• Yoga in Daily Life
