Jnana yoga
- I'm of the nature of eternal and all pervasive consciousness.
- I'm the only source of permanent peace, security and happiness.
- Only by mere presence I give life to the material body and through it experience the material universe.
- I'm not affected by anything that takes place in the material world and in the material body including the material mind
- By forgetting my nature I convert life into a struggle and by remembering it I convert it into a sport or entertainment.
Bhakti yoga = karma yoga + jnana yoga

From: Triangular: Jiva-Jagat-Iswara (moksha is future event).
