Gyansaar ज्ञानसार

Chapter 01 arrow_outward

Purnata

Fullness. The soul is not moving toward completeness — it already is complete. Eight shlokas establishing the foundation of the entire path.

Chapter 02 arrow_outward

Magnata

Absorption. Total immersion in the bliss of pure knowledge — senses withdrawn, mind stilled, consciousness resting in itself.

Chapter 03 arrow_outward

Sthirata

Steadfastness. The quality that transforms the flash of inner recognition into a permanent mode of being. Charitra itself is Sthirata.

Chapter 04 arrow_outward

Amoha

Non-Delusion. The lotus in mud, the crystal soul, the "naho-na mam" mantra — when steadiness is genuine, moha falls away naturally.

Chapter 05 arrow_outward

Jnana

Knowledge. The pig in the drain vs. the swan in Mansarovar — one decisive pada, granthi-bheda, and the final declaration: Jnana is the amruta-rasayana-aishvarya that needs nothing outside itself.

Chapter 06 arrow_outward

Sham

Equanimity. The ripening of jnana — the flood that uproots vasanas, the immunity to raga-venom, and the sovereignty of Munirajya — the inner kingdom that needs nothing outside itself.

Chapter 07 arrow_outward

Indriya-Jay

Conquest of the Senses. Moharaja's servants disguised as helpers, the unfillable ocean, the deer and the mirage — and the final key: only samadhi-dhana achieves what all heroic effort alone cannot.

Chapter 08 arrow_outward

Tyag

Renunciation. Not what you renounce, but from what understanding — the divine family of atmarati and samata, dharma-sanyasa, and the full moon blazing behind every cloud of attachment.

Chapter 09 arrow_outward

Kriya

Right Action. Five qualities cross the bhavsagar together — the Delhi train analogy, the lamp that needs ghee, five guards for shubha-bhaav, and the supreme energizer: ananya-priti toward Jineshvar.

Chapter 10 arrow_outward

Trupti

Contentment. The dirty vessel and the clean one — why pudgal can never satisfy the atma, shantarasa as the highest rasa, and the muni who is jnana-trupt and niranjana.

Chapter 11 arrow_outward

Nilepata

Unstainedness. The soot-house of samsara cannot be avoided — but the jnana-siddha passes through it without becoming black. Triple non-identification, sky-analogy, and the two nayas united.

Chapter 12 arrow_outward

Nispruhatā

Desirelessness. After atma-svabhāv's attainment, nothing else remains to be obtained. Par-spruhā is the definition of duḥkha; nispruhatva is the definition of sukha.

Chapter 13 arrow_outward

Maun

Silence. Not the closing of the mouth but the turning of manas, vachan, and kāyā toward the ātmā — until every action is luminous by nature.

Chapter 14 arrow_outward

Vidyā

Knowledge. The precise reversal of avidyā's three confusions — transient-as-permanent, impure-as-pure, other-as-self — and the path from bāhirātmā to paramātmā.

Chapter 15 arrow_outward

Vivek

Discernment. The bheda-jnāna that separates jīva from karma as a swan separates milk from water — the saṃyama-śastra sharpened on the whetstone of viveka.
