Jnana

The Sanskrit word Jnana refers to knowledge or knowing. In its cosmic usage, Jnana is one of the three primal and all-pervading Shaktis, the other two being Iccha (will) and Kriya (action).

Within the International Nath Order, Jnana is Knowledge—knowing as a power. It is one side of the triad of occult accomplishment: Will, Knowledge, and Action. That triad is not the same as Insight, Intuition, and Imagination, the three super faculties. Jnana is not a school of book-learning and it is not a grade of the Order. It is the current of knowledge itself. It is worked in sadhana toward Siddhi. The three Shaktis are listed together on Keywords.
