"Jnâna Yoga, Part II: Seven Lectures" by Swami Vivekananda is a philosophical text written in the late 19th century. This work comprises a series of lectures focused on the concepts of Jnâna Yoga and Vedanta philosophy, specifically teaching about the unity of existence and the relationship between the individual self and the absolute. It aims to explore deep spiritual questions regarding the nature of reality, knowledge, and the self, drawing from traditional Indian philosophy to provide insights into the monistic perspective of existence. The opening of "Jnâna Yoga" lays down the foundation of its philosophical exploration, emphasizing the belief that true religion and understanding come from within rather than from external teachings. Vivekananda sets out to challenge common notions of satisfaction found in material pursuits, positing that the essence of human existence involves a fundamental inquiry into the nature of the divine and our connection to it. He introduces key concepts including the microcosm and macrocosm, the distinction between nature (Prakriti) and self (Purusha), and the belief that intellect and consciousness are intrinsically linked to a larger universal unity. This opening portion effectively prepares the reader for a rigorous philosophical journey aimed at achieving deeper self-awareness and understanding through the study of ancient Indian philosophy.
