In the village, there existed many members of an esteemed religious organization which controlled all aspects of their “society” within the village. They were known as "Djinn". One day, a group of travelers, peaceful and meditative men from the east pass through. They are not seeking knowledge, for they see themselves. They are not seeking fulfillment, for they are filled. They are merely passing the village to reach a river, they seek to go there for a time. In the village, they are approached by several of the Djinn “Elders” which hold sway over all of the affairs of the village. As they approach, two of the six elders begin to discuss trade. The Third Djinn Elder greeted the meditative men and said : “We have fruit, we have drink, we have coin to trade with, we have women, we have all the mind seeks!” One man from the group of meditative men spoke : “we do not have minds for which it can seek any material thing, truly we cannot even know these purely material things, for they are foreign to us. What does it serve for us to take into our being gifts which we cannot use, see or truly take or own or have?” The third elder responded: “Mindless? Well surely this cannot be for we are both humans as it stands. What say I prepare the springs, some women? You cannot be anything else here.” One man from the group spoke: “we do not require your gifts, nor do we require your assistance. We do not require filling in the way which you conceive of it. “ The third elder became angered: “why do you deny my gifts of material pleasure? What are you, how did you get to here? Who’s side are you on?” “We do not conform to hierarchy.” They all at once stated. Offended, all six of the elders began to argue amongst each other, deciding on what to do in regards to these wise men. One man from the group, spoke. “We do not come from where you have. We do not have the same sight, awareness. Fundamentally, we share the same outside world, we are of it and so are you. There is however no division within us as it sits within you. There can be no other method, but there are many. This is an aspect of the sight, this is ours. We are not able to think in the same way as you.” The sixth elder shouted: “then you must become like us, for you have seen our way, and cannot bring this knowledge elsewhere. It is our sight, our light, our fire. We will not have it taken away from us by any of you.” One man from the group spoke: "We do not take, we cannot become like you, we have observed your ways. This alone is our crime? The sixth elder responded: "Yes, and the law states that any Brahman which passes the village must be crowned by the mind! You are of that, Brahman? That is your fault, you are not like us. Therefore, we shall make you, like us. We shall spin you in our direction, you shall be sculpted in our image. You will bow before effigies and idols of our creation and our creation alone. For our sight, that which is the sight of the mind, is the only truth." All at once, the group stated “I am that I am. I am, Brahman. I am the sight of the infinite heart, I am that. That is what I am. ” The elders began to shout at the wise men: “No, we shall make you beings of material, beings born of our craft (sin), beings that are not replenished by Brahman, but by us. We shall crown you with our vision and sight of the mind all to prove our message. We are God! ” The elders charged at those men, which at this point were still light, Brahman. The men had no reaction, they knew what was to come, for this was the forbidden village, that which cannot easily be left once entered or passed through. They understood that they had trespassed in what they knew as their world, and going along with what was law to those beings, allowed themselves to be imprisoned. To be crowned with their vision. At some point in the night, the men saw that the prison was constructed shabbily, here and there were holes and water seeped through them. Eventually, those men discovered that the prison was built, entirely, of mud. It was then that they began to pick away at it, for they now had physical bodies, and could interact with the material world of the Djinn. It took no major effort before they were out of this lazily made prison, and back on their way to the river. It was as though they had been crowned for no reason at all, and that was the arrangement. Those Elders of Dualistic knowledge did not show themselves again, they feared that with the sight of their minds, these wise men who were previously Brahman, would slaughter them. Now crowned with the sight and vision of the mind of the Djinn, they had began to fight amongst themselves,for they had no other ideas, in mind. They saw that they were clothed in flesh, they smelled of salt, and were naked. They felt pain, weakness, anger, many things which they had not comprehended nor felt before. They no longer resembled their true selves, but were all molded in the shape of Djinn. In this world, they were now, by looks, completely identical to the Djinn. Once meditative men of heart, who never once even felt separate from the other, were now exactly like the Djinn, divided. One man spoke: "I am that, Brahman. I see this with my divided mind, and my untouchable, infinite heart. What I see now as flesh is but the sight of which they forcibly crowned each of us with. What I experience in this Earth as decay is also of this crowning, and so is the illusion that my brothers were ever truly separate from I, as they would state, as I stated in their stead." All at once, they chanted one of their names, and remembered their unified nature. "Hari Om, Hari Om". The Illusion of separation, it is but illusion. All things are related. All things that run the ring, run back into themselves.
