I candidly admit that I got the inspiration for writing my earlier
'post' / 'Note', 'Utility-Model' from 'Anubandha-Chatushtaya' 
(’अनुबन्ध-चतुष्टय’), the well-known classical model of Veda
and Vedanta for determining who should teach, who is to be
taught, what is the subject-matter, that is, what is to be taught.
And of course, the fourth factor is the 'purpose'of the teaching.
These are the four 'foundations', the four prominent and core
pillars upon which the Gigantic Edifice of any kind of education
stands. 
So, in a nut-shell it is a key-principle for the transmission of any
'knowledge', and specifically the 'Supreme-Wisdom' (Brahma-
Vidya).
The 'Anubandha-chatushtaya' ( ’अनुबन्ध-चतुष्टय’ ) deals with ;
1. 'Adhikari' (’अधिकारी’)
2.'Vishaya' (’विषय’),
3.'Sambandha' (’संबंध’),
and,
4.'Prayojana' (’प्रयोजन’).
Only a competent, qualified person only can receive, acquire, 
use and give such 'knowledge' / 'skill' / 'Wisdom'. There should 
be aptitude, interest, and the right attitude on the part of such a
qualified / eligible / deserving student / teacher.If out of these 4
key-points, anything is missing, the purpose can not be fulfilled.


The above is true for any discipline of  knowledge, skill, wisdom.
And Vedanta, Therefore never cares for giving out the knowledge 
to, any-one who is not a deserving student.
In history, so many intellectuals tried to understand the essentials
of Vedanta in their own way, and only those who really deserved,
and had intrinsic aptitude could reach there, but those who were
not of mature and pure mind, have distorted perceptions of the
Vedantika Truths, but in fact harmed themselves and the humanity 
at large to a great extent. It is true that no one needs to worry for
the protection of this Divine Knowledge. Because the Knowledge

Supreme is an Awareness / Consciousness (चैतन्य) that keeps 

those elements away from Itself.
