By Swami Harshananda
sādhanacatusṭaya (‘fourfold spiritual discipline [of Vedānta]’)
Works on Advaita Vedānta prescribe a mode of sādhana (spiritual discipline) which has two stages.
The first or the preliminary stage is called sādhanacatuṣṭaya, or the fourfold spiritual discipline. These disciplines are:
Viveka (discrimination); vairāgya (renunciation); śamādiṣaṭka (the group of six, starting with śama or quietude) and mumukṣutva (desire for mokṣa or liberation).
See under each title for details.
