The schools that I just mentioned of course took
their present form only after the time of our Acharya. But the original ideas
from which these schools sprang were there from earliest times. In fact advaita
also had its origin long before our Acharya. But it was he who streamlined it
and presented it as a siddhAnta. In the
same way the Acharyas of the other schools who came only later to our Acharya,
pulled out the ideas which were already there and established their siddhantas. It is the greatness of Adi
Shankara that he was able to see the
other points of view also by his erudition and farsight even before they had
been established as a popular school.
