“Wisdom day.” After a quick review of karma yoga (contentment as “entry-level happiness,” detached and sacrificial action) Lama Marut turns to jñāna yoga. We are processes, not things, and that’s good news! The self is an idea built from our actions, so changing our karma changes who we are. He looks at ahaṃkāra, the “I-maker,” examines the ways ignorance turns things 'inside out', and describes the supreme yogi as one who sees everything as coming from them, not at them.
