Jnana is the realization by direct cognition of the fact
that in this changing universe there is nothing but Chaitanya (the one life)
that is Consciousness, that if of the form of the seer and the seen, pervading
all things, that is the same in all that is not subject to changes like pt,

body and the sense, the serving of a Good Guru, the hearing of the exposition
of Vedantic doctrines and constant meditation thereon.
