| Summary |
"A Series of Lessons in Gnani Yoga: The Yoga of Wisdom" by William Walker Atkinson is an instructional philosophical text likely written in the late 19th century. This work explores profound spiritual concepts, particularly focusing on the nature of consciousness, the Absolute, and the essence of existence from the perspective of Gnani Yoga, which is characterized as the Yoga of Wisdom. The author presents a structured approach to understanding life and reality, encouraging readers to engage deeply with the thoughts and experiences shared. At the start of the book, the author introduces the fundamental concept of "The One," emphasizing the interconnectedness of all existence and asserting that there is a singular underlying reality to all phenomena. Readers are invited to explore various branches of yoga, including Hatha, Raja, Bhakti, and especially Gnani Yoga, which seeks to uncover the scientific and intellectual understanding of life. In this initial lesson, Atkinson sets the stage for a deeper examination of what constitutes reality, encouraging contemplation of profound philosophical questions regarding the nature of existence and spirituality, thus laying the groundwork for the lessons that follow.
