The path of the knowledge of God arrived at through discrimination and discernment of the One Reality, as opposed to the transients in life.

A Gnana Yogi usually advocates the non-dualistic philosophy, in that what he discovers behind the dualities and multiplicities is that which is Ever-Conscious, Ever-Existent, and Ever-Blissful, (Sat-Chit-Ananda) or God.

Once again, this study is best practiced with a reliable teacher as it entails a great deal of Perceptive Will. In the process of this study the second center Is awakened. This is called the Svadhishatana center. It is situated at the Coccyx region of the spine, just above the anus.

As Gnana Yoga is one of the main Yogas, there is no need for some to travel further from this point, and through the continual practice of what is called Viveka (Spiritual Discernment), the student is able to lift Kundalini to her highest realm; thus attaining Moksha, or Liberation.

The student who attains this state is then known as a Gnani. At the onset, he may discriminate in a Spiritual way, but in the end, for him, God exists as the One Absolute Reality in all things'.
