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.
