    Jnana yoga is a form of yoga that focuses on gaining spiritual knowledge and wisdom. It involves discriminating between one's true self and false self through hearing scriptures, reflection, and self-identification with Brahman. Jnana yoga was systematized in the Vedanta school of Hindu philosophy and aims to transform the knower into the object of knowledge, which is Brahman. It is considered a faster path to moksha or liberation but is more difficult and demanding than other yogic paths.
