Lessons in Gnani Yoga

THE FIRST LESSON

THE ONE.

The Yogi Philosophy may be divided into several great branches,

or fields. What is known as “Hatha Yoga” deals with the physical

body and its control; its welfare; its health; its preservation; its

laws, etc. What is known as “Raja Yoga” deals with the Mind; its

control; its development; its unfoldment, etc. What is known as

“Bhakti Yoga” deals with the Love of the Absolute—God. What is

known as “Gnani Yoga” deals with the scientific and intellectual

knowing of the great questions regarding Life and what lies back

of Life—the Riddle of the Universe.

Each branch of Yoga is but a path leading toward the one end—

unfoldment, development, and growth. He who wishes first to

develop, control and strengthen his physical body so as to render it

a fit instrument of the Higher Self, follows the path of “Hatha

Yoga.” He who would develop his will‐power and mental

faculties, unfolding the inner senses, and latent powers, follows

the path of “Raja Yoga.” He who wishes to develop by

“knowing”—by studying the fundamental principles, and the

wonderful truths underlying Life, follows the path of “Gnani

Yoga.” And he who wishes to grow into a union with the One Life

by the influence of Love, he follows the path of “Bhakti Yoga.”

But it must not be supposed that the student must ally himself to

only a single one of these paths to power. In fact, very few do. The

majority prefer to gain a rounded knowledge, and acquaint

themselves with the principles of the several branches, learning

something of each, giving preference of course to those branches

that appeal to them more strongly, this attraction being the

indication of need , or requirement, and, therefore, being the hand

pointing out the path.

It is well for every one to know something of “Hatha Yoga,” in

order that the body may be purified, strengthened, and kept in

health in order to become a more fitting instrument of the Higher

Self. It is well that each one should know something of “Raja

Yoga,” that he may understand the training and control of the

mind, and the use of the Will. It is well that every one should learn

the wisdom of “Gnani Yoga,” that he may realize the wonderful

truths underlying life—the science of Being. And, most assuredly
