It is difficult to preach the Vedanta to people unschooled in philosophical thought completely. Rituals and mythologies hold their mind faster as they manage to grip the concrete better than abstractions beyond their experience. Hence, the provision for the threefold religion, each catering to a specific class of aspirant. Education improves conception and elevates one from a lower rung of spiritual practice to a higher one. It is a fluid structure that ever shifts in the aspirant's mind as he ascends the steps to realisation.
