The unity of samadhi and prajna

Does any extant tradition claim that the unity of samadhi and prajna^ is actual from the beginning of the bodhisatva path, so that it is available to the neophyte - just with less power of something similar to more advanced bodhisatvas? ^e. g. Chinul: >Samadhi being prajna, it is quiescent and yet always knowing. or Platform Sutra: >To argue whether prajna or samadhi comes first would put one in the same position as those who are under delusion... a lamp and its light. So you can see, they are one, yet - perhaps - not everyone realizes this in their practice? Just asking because I think it may be the meaning of human life etc..
