'BEHOLD, O KING! BEHOLD'

ONCE, a king asked a yogi to impart Knowledge

to him in one word. The yogi said, "All right; you

will get knowledge in one word." After a while a

magician came to the king. The king saw the

magician moving two of his lingers rapidly and

heard him exclaim, "Behold, O king, Behold." The

king looked at him amazed when, after a few

minutes, he saw the two lingers becoming one. The

magician moved that one finger rapidly and said,

"Behold, O king! Behold."

The implication of the story is that Brahman and

the Primal Energy at first appear to be two. But

after attaining knowledge of Brahman one does not

see the two. Then there is no differentiation; it is

One, without a second—Advaita—non-duality.
