Yes, this is what I'm differentiating. But also something more;
knowledge of Brahman is a process, usually pursued by the paths of jnana
yoga, bhakti yoga, karma yoga.
But Knowledge of Brahman (like you mentioned below) is Understanding.
>(1) is the knowledge that is traditionally called moksha as it frees us from

>mahAvAkyas that you are brahman. Nothing short of it.
So, jnana signifies three types of knowledge? Or ways of knowledge,
correct?
First two:
>1. Knowledge of brahman
>2. Knowledge of brahman as an object
But it also signifies the process of knowing (again, through whatever
path). Is this correct?
I hope my questions and comments are clear. Let me know if I need to
clarify, please.
And I'll take a look at the website. Thanks for suggesting it.
Take care,
Stephanie
