The starting point of vedantic teaching is there is a jiva who has a problem called samsara.
Once there is established that samsara problem is there, there is also the understanding that jiva is already searching for freedom from samsara, or freedom.
The search for freedom, and the presence of bondage together make a case for a means of liberation.
Only in a human body, a human being, experiences that he is bound, and is capable of and does seek in one way or other, a means to liberate himself from bondage. This is due to the presence of a self judgement as well as free will.
Without the above conditions there is no case for a vedantic teaching.
So therefore, a vedantic teaching is for a mumuksu, one who is seeking liberation from the problem of bondage.
