 For Beginners: Yoga Paths
Before practicing jnana yoga, the student needs to have integrated the lessons of the other yogic paths — for without selflessness, love of God, and the strength of body and mind, the search for self-realization is nothing more than an exercise in philosophy.
Bhakti means “to serve the Divine.” Chanting or singing the praises of whatever divine presence is meaningful to you form a substantial part of bhakti yoga.
Often called the “royal road,” raja is considered the complete yoga because it focuses on controlling both the mind and body in order to attain enlightenment.

That jnana which attempts to negate the knower (jnata), the knowable (jneya) and the knowledge (jnana) by annihilating them, in fact, only culminates in ajnana (ignorance).

 Sanga: 12/21/99 Dialogue: 'What is Gaudiya Vedanta,' Part I
With regard to jnana, "covered" means that one's bhakti should not be influenced by jiva-brahma-aikya-jnAna, or knowledge of oneness of jiva and brahman that admits no disticntion between the two, as this is opposed to bhakti.
Otherwise we are told not to blaspheme (ninda) sections of the scriputre dealing with jnana and karma, as they are important for those who do not have adhikara for bhakti.
This is amply evident from an unbiased study of the text.

 Naam or Word:
HE term "Gyan" or "Jnana" is derived from the Sanskrit root "gna," which is equivalent to the English word "know." In common speech, Gyan or knowledge is taken to mean thinking at the intellectual level, embracing within its fold all knowledge recorded in and derived from books, ancient or modern, spiritual or secular.
Having once been gifted with Enlightenment (or Jnana or Divine Knowledge and Experience), one must practice it from day to day so as to develop it and not lose the holy Light of Heaven by sheer neglect in the mighty swirl of the world.
Guru Arjan also tells us that with the dawn of Master's Jnana within, comes the advent of Heaven's Light both within and without, enveloping all; and the mind gets satiated and is freed from all illusions and delusions.

You can then look back at worries and fears with deep insight and handle them.

 Vasubandhu [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]
According to the theory of three natures, there are three cognitive realms at play: the delusional cognitively constructed realm, which is intrinsically unreal; the realm of causal dependency; and the perfectional realm which is intrinsically ‘empty.' To Vasubandhu, Buddhism is a method of cleansing the stream of consciousness from ‘contaminations' and ‘defilements.’
Vasubandhu describes and explains how each of these can be extinguished through ashraya-paravritti i.e., through the overturning of the very basis of these eight types of consciousness.
This over-turning i.e., achievement of the Bodhi gradually takes place through the five-step path in a way that consciousness (vijnana) is transformed into unmediated cognition (jnana).
