About This Book

This series of lessons presents the principles of Gnani Yoga, offering a systematic philosophical exposition of the One underlying reality and its manifestations. It moves from foundational questions about reality and oneness through treatments of omnipresent life, creative will, and the unity of life, to analyses of mind, cosmic evolution, the ascent and spiritual evolution of human beings. Topics include metempsychosis, the law of karma, and assorted occult miscellany, and the text combines metaphysical argument with practical guidance aimed at cultivating inner knowledge and understanding the relation between the One and the many.
