“Even in the case of Śikṣaṇa Krama the ancient teachers had steps in the teaching:
- Yukta Śikṣaṇa
The teaching must be appropriate to the intelligence of the individual. - Grahaṇa Śikṣaṇa
Also able to absorb correctly what you have understood.
You must test them, confuse them to see if they have. - Yukta Smaraṇa
The teacher should find out how much the person remembers
what they have understood. - Yukta Abhyāsa
Is how much a person practices what he is given.
To see if he has learnt, understood and practiced. - Yukta Anu Bhāva
Even practice can be mechanical, even if it is regular.
So how much you have learnt from the practice.
What it has taught you. - Yukta Pracāram
Finally, you ask the person to transmit what they have received.
