In a football match how long ball is possessed is not relevant, the aim is to hit the goal.
Sometimes team has the ball 70% and lost the match.
A student may study 25 years and miss the goal. A person may not even know a particular prakriya and may still achieve "mokṣā".
In Vedānta, prakriya is called a method of teaching /tool used for communication. In Vedānta there are several prakriyas.
Some are directly used by upaniṣad, like adhyaropa apavada, dṛk dṛśya viveka, pañcakosa viveka, avasthatraya prakriya etc.
Certain others only clues are there, acharyas have extracted several prakriyas, derived from vedas, like avaccheda vāda, pratibimba vāda, ābhāsa vāda, anirvachanīya khyāti, revised anirvachanīya khyāti, arthādhyāsa, jñānadhyāsa etc . they are derived prakriyas.
Through all these prakriyas, vedanta wants to communicate the prime teaching or siddhanta.
Methodology is prakriya. Siddhanta is sadhyam or end.
Ultimately, we all should come to the sadhyam. End is siddhanta.
That alone liberates, prakriya does not liberate. It can cause scholarly or intellectual samsara.
Use prakriya for minimum time and land on siddhanta. Brahma satyam jaganmithya ….. aham bramaiva na paraha.
No acharya insists that you should use only Dsv (Dvivida satta vada), Tsv (Trivida satta vada), pratibimba vāda, ābhāsa vāda. Whichever vāda you are comfortable you use.
Either use lift, staircase or escalator to come to first floor. Coming is important.
