Hindi (romanized): prasiddh vaidic vidwaan or shikshak (acharya) aadi shankaracharya ne tab ek virodhabhas utpann kiya, jise anya aadhyatmik vishyon or paramparaon main bhi sweekaar kiya gaya, jab unhone jor dekar kaha ki kyonki brahm hameshaa maujuud he, brahm-gyaan tatkaal he or iske liye kisi "kriya", arthath, mehnat or prayaas, kii aavashyaktaa nahin he; mahavakyon ke bare main sochane or yogic samadhi ko gyaan ke maarg ke rup main sweekaar karne sahit advait parampara bhi vistrut praarambhik abhyaas kii anushansa karti he.
English: While the prominent 8th-century Vedic scholar and teacher (acharya) Adi Shankara emphasized that, since Brahman is ever-present, Brahman-knowledge is immediate and requires no 'action', that is, striving and effort, the Advaita tradition also prescribes elaborate preparatory practice, including contemplation of the mahavakyas and accepting yogic samadhi as a means to knowledge, posing a paradox which is also recognized in other spiritual disciplines and traditions.
