Apparently Shankara did NOT advocate any yoga practice in order to obtain 'moksha'.
So, enlightenment depends SOLELY upon discriminative knowledge of the true nature of things. There is NEVER a random combination of events, rather there is order, regulation, systematic division of function. The Mahatattva, a term which means 'Cosmic Intelligence', understood in the sense of a capacity to expand, reveal, and ascertain. So, it is NOT the yoga which produces the enlightened state. True evolution, according to Shankara, exists ONLY in the transformation of cosmic conciousness, and that the manifestations of the physical and biological world, are only the illusory modifications of five gross elements.
