"To know Advaita Vedanta is not the same as being Advaitin with Atmajnana and Atmanubhava. One can be a Brahmavit as a matter of Paroksha-Jnana or textual knowledge. Lecturing or writing on Advaita to the amazement of others is easy, but to go through the Sadhanas with faith and determination cut off from the limelight of publicity, in the seclusion of guru-sishya relation and in the privacy of one's being is possible perhaps for one in a million."

 (As written by Shri Sankaranarayanan , in 'Translator's Introduction' to the commentary of Sri Chandrasekhara Bharati on विवेकचूडामणि )
