You share the Motherhood with the mothers of seers and sages in the past; the present; the future. No, no, no ! I am not dead. I shall move the tip of my little finger inside the womb to re-assure you I am warm and alive.
I did not wish to do even that, lest the nail of my little finger should leave a scratch on some tissues inside your belly that has borne me for seven months; since such a scratch might easily turn into a faint line on my palma line of guilt to remind me of the scratch left in you!
(The light returns on the stage flooding it with a warm orange glow. We see the beautiful Mother again This time she is beaming all over with intense joy. )
MOTHER Lord of the Heavens ! you are there ! you have
proved to the hilt you are there ! I have prayed to you over and over again;
you have heard my prayer !
