| The
path of right knowledge or Jnana Yoga means focusing on what
is never changing as opposed to the illusions of Maya,
which is ever changing. That includes the Ego
or false self-identification and Jnana Yoga continually questions
reality by finding "not this, not that".
Knowledge of the right and
insight into the proper means of realizing the right in daily
existence, are two essential attributes of Jnana yoga.
Jnana yoga is not liberation. One knows that the blocks that
cloud the mind can be removed, that cosmic consciousness is
an attainable goal. Jnana yoga is awareness, not realization.
Jnana Yoga is the understanding
of the laws of existence and the awareness of a means to synchronize
with them. In Jnana Yoga one ceases to be attached to forms
of expression and becomes drawn to the essence, the process
of insight. The cause of bondage is maya. The cause of liberation
from maya to bliss is jnana.
So long as the player identifies himself as
an individual, independent being, he has karmas. And this
is the cause of bondage. Jnana Yoga makes it clear that by
reducing the scope and area of karma one can begin to establish
oneself in bliss. This is insight into the game itself.
