Sankara, India's Greatest Impersonalist Meditated on Lord Krishna and the Bhagavad Gita

<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->Srila Prabhupada chastises impersonalist yogis and swamis, the nominal followers of the ninth-century teacher Sankara, in this commentary on Sankara's Meditation on the Bhagavad Gita: Fools rush in where angels fear to tread. Whereas Sankara, the greatest of the impersonalists, offers his due respects to Krishna and His book Bhagavad Gita, the foolish say that we need not surrender to the personal Krishna. His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada (11-23-04)<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->

The biggest difference between Shankara's attitude to Gita and the Vaishnava attitude is between the meanings they attach to 'I'.

When Sri Krishna says somethiong in Gita in first person with an 'I', Shankara interprets it as spoken by the Highest Atman (the deepest universal self which is identical to Nirguna Brahman). While Vaishnavas interpret them in a theistic way.
