		The joyous use of such rich imagery reveals that Shankaracharya was not a 'dry' preacher from the arid realms of philosophy, but also a bhakta of the highest order, capturing his emotions in highly sensitive expressions.

	Shankaracharya
		Shankaracharya was the Indian philosopher in the 8th century AD, who founded Advaita (non-dualistic) Vedanta.
		Shankaracharya exclusively advocates that the real, experiential knowledge of the Brahman/Atman identity is sufficient to get enlightened, and that as far as spiritual seekers are ready to sacrifice everything to obtain this supreme wisdom, they need neither rituals nor meditation as spiritual exercise.
		To his opponents who ask him why "One" (the Brahman/Atman identity) becomes many (this phenomenal world), Shankaracharya answers that it is because of our lack of knowledge which makes us "superimpose" the false on the real, and believe that "one" looks many.
