There are many kinds of peoples in the world. Their lifestyle is formed in accordance with their own samskarams. Only the one who can show all of them the way to lead a righteous life can be called a JAGATHGURU. There is no doubt that Adhi Sankara was such a Jagathguru.
Sankara gave upadesa in jnana to those who wished to tread the path of knowledge. In his works, he has given extensive advice on jnana. For those people who could not go along the jnana marga, he taught Karma yoga.
His valuable advice to chant vedas daily and do the prescribed karmas was meant for those who following the path of duty. For those who are unable to follow this advice, he prescribed the way of bakthi.
As he said, such people will find it useful, to recite the gita and Vishnu Sahasranama and think of Hari at all times.
The paths of Karma, Bhakthi, and jnana are thus, conducive to man's welfare. Adisankara, who prescribed these various yogas, for all people is indeed, worshipful, The very rememberence of him is bound to bestow good to all.
