In the beginning, before there was any division of subject and object, there was one existence, Brahman alone, One without a second. That time is called the Krita yuga, or the golden age, when people skilled in knowledge and discrimination realized that one existence ...Men had but one caste, known as Hamsa. All were equally endowed with knowledge, all were born knowers of Truth; and since this was so the age was called Krita, which is to say, ‘Attained’.

'The Covenants of the Prophet Muhammad with the Christians of the World'
By John Andrew Morrow (Author), Charles Upton (Foreword)
Purchase Book:
Amazon.com
Amazon.co.uk
Description:
The Prophet Muhammad’s treaties with the Christians of his time, which John Andrew Morrow has rediscovered in obscure collections and often newly translated, uniformly state that Muslims are not to attack peaceful Christian communities, but defend them “until the End of the World.” Authored by the Prophet himself, they represent a third foundational pillar for Islam outside of Qur’an and hadith. The “Covenants Initiative” within the book represents a movement by Muslims, both prominent and unknown, in support of Christians under attack. These treaties desperately need to be better known among Christians, Muslims, and the general public. For scholars, this book provides much difficult-to-obtain material: facsimiles of primary sources in Arabic and Persian; corrected versions in modern Arabic typescript; and alternate translations. They now have all they need to study the covenants in depth.
