Shankara, invariably in all his works, begins with the adhikAri: one

with sAdhana cAtushTaya. IMHO, out of all the four, the most important

is mumukshatva, all the others just driving to make the adhikAri a

mumukshu, one who yearns for liberation, he who feels a burning desire

to liberate. How such a person can remain in society instead of

involving himself with the quest of jnAna every waking moment of his

life is beyond me!

 

Finally, thanks Shyamji for this wonderful effort. I'm yet to catch up

fully on your entire series since I missed some parts due to

cross-posting to Advaitin & Advaita-L perhaps. I'll dig them up.
