It is one of the traditional paths to spiritual realization, emphasizing the pursuit of knowledge, understanding, and insight into the nature of reality and the self. Practitioners of Jnana Yoga seek to transcend ignorance and delusion through self-inquiry, contemplation, and the study of sacred texts such as the Upanishads and the Bhagavad Gita. The goal of Jnana Yoga is to realize the true nature of the self (Atman) and its identity with the ultimate reality (Brahman), leading to liberation (moksha) from the cycle of birth and death (samsara).
