Enlightenment: Gnosis/Jñāna.

on
The term Gnosis is derived from the Greek word for "knowledge" and shares a conceptual connection with the Sanskrit word Jñāna. Both terms refer to a deep, intuitive understanding or spiritual knowledge that all is One, that all is Self. Gnosis is often associated with a direct, experiential knowledge of spiritual truths or the divine. It is commonly used in Gnostic traditions and mystical philosophies, particularly in relation to the quest for Self-realization or enlightenment or the realizion that there is only Ein Licht or One Light. While Gnosis and Jñāna appear to come from different linguistic and cultural backgrounds, they share a similar philosophical and spiritual essence, emphasizing a transformative and profound knowledge that goes beyond intellectual understanding.
