The thing with Hindu Netti-Netti Discrimination, however, is that
it does not necessarily lead to a realization of Not-Two. Hindu
Samkhya practiced Discrimination, but it only got them as far as
the duality of Purusha and Prakriti. It still takes an intuitive
leap to see that Purusha and Prakriti are Not-Two. And simply
practicing the method of Discrimination does not "cause" this leap
to happen. But sometimes it does happen. (No! That's a lie! It never
happened!)
