Within the pages of "Jnana-Yoga," the profound collection of ideas penned by Swami Vivekananda, lies a transformative journey into the realm of self-realization and transcendental wisdom. Drawing from ancient Indian philosophy and his own profound experiences, Vivekananda unveils the path of Jnana-Yoga, the pursuit of knowledge and the realization of one's true nature. In this timeless treatise, Vivekananda dismantles the barriers of ignorance that shroud our understanding, inviting readers to embark on an inner quest for self-discovery. Through his teachings, Vivekananda illuminates the profound truths that lie at the core of human existence. He explores the intricate tapestry of the mind and its role in perceiving the world, emphasizing the power of introspection and self-analysis as tools for unraveling the mysteries of the self. Jnana-Yoga is an invitation to embark on an inward pilgrimage, to delve into the depths of our being and discover the timeless truths that lead to liberation. It is a guiding light that empowers seekers to awaken their inner divinity and merge with the eternal source of knowledge.

‘“Know thyself!” All science and all wisdom lies in knowing ourselves, in finding ourselves, in the fusion of our lower self with our higher self. The symbol of the initiate who has succeeded in this is the serpent with its tail in its mouth. A serpent forms a straight or wavy line, and a line is limited. But the serpent with its tail in its mouth forms a circle, and a circle represents the infinite, the limitless, the eternal. Those who succeed in becoming a circle enter a world without limitations where the “above” and the “below” are no longer separated, because all the powers and all the riches and virtues of the true, higher self have been infused into the lower self. The higher and the lower become one and a human being becomes a divinity.’ Omraam Mikhaël Aïvanhov
