India's Greatest Impersonalist Meditated on Lord Kṛṣṇa and the  Bhagavad-gītā
Śrīla Prabhupāda chastises impersonalist yogis and swamis, the nominal followers of the ninth-century teacher Śaṅkara, in this commentary on the latter's Meditation on the  Bhagavad-gītā : "Fools rush in where angels fear to tread. Whereas Śaṅkara, the greatest of the impersonalists, offers his due respects to Kṛṣṇa and His book Bhagavad-gītā, the foolish say that 'we need not surrender to the personal Kṛṣṇa.'"

O  Bhagavad-gītā , Through Thy eighteen chapters Thou showerest upon man The immortal nectar Of the wisdom of the Absolute. O blessed  Gītā , By Thee, Lord Kṛṣṇa Himself Enlightened Arjuna. Afterward, the ancient sage Vyāsa Included Thee in the  Mahābhārata . O loving mother, Destroyer of man's rebirth Into the darkness of this mortal world, Upon Thee I meditate.

Salutations to thee, O Vyāsa. Thou art of mighty intellect, And thine eyes Are large as the petals Of the full-blown lotus. It was thou Who brightened this lamp of wisdom, Filling it with the oil Of the  Mahābhārata .
