SUDARSHANA You appear as though you had caught. a glimpse of the Lord Himself who creates bloom and pearl, springtide and ocean....
MOTHER ( ecstatically ) Do I only appear all you describe ? No ! no! no ! I am....I am....I am !!!
(gong is struck )
TOGETHER What?
MOTHER I am that I am.
(chorus of voices hum a sacred melody which seems to come out of the heavens The stage now grows pitch dark )
DEEP VOICE I am that I am,
ANOTHER DEEP VOICE An Al Haq!
ANOTHER DEEP VOICE Aham Brahma Asmi !
YET ANOTHER DEEP VOICE It is the future Lord Mahavir in the womb who prompted the Mother to say : I am that I am! I am that I am !
(the stage is lit up)
