The greatest teacher of the Vedanta philosophy was Shankaracharya.
By solid reasoning he extracted from the Vedas the truths of Vedanta, and on them built up the wonderful system of Jnana that is taught in his commentaries. He unified all the conflicting descriptions of Brahman and showed that there is only one Infinite Reality.
He showed too that as man can only travel slowly on the upward road, all the varied presentations are needed to suit his varying capacity.
