Jnana Yoga, the Yoga of Knowledge, is about using the mind to understand the universe. It focuses on reasoning and questioning instead of physical exercises. Yoga teaches that our mind is a tool to access a universal principle of intelligence.
Jnana Yoga helps us develop the mind but warns against letting it control us. A strong but uncontrolled mind can cause suffering. The key is to learn when to use it and when to quiet it. While the mind is important, true spiritual growth comes from moving beyond it to intuition and deeper insight.
