Act 1

Krishna: Why did you hide my Bansuri and break it? All (Prostrating): We did it out of ignorance. We were jealous of it. So we broke it. Pardon us, Lord. Krishna: Give me, Radha, that broken piece of Bansuri in your hand. (Radha gives it. He receives it and it assumes its original size. The dancing Bansuris disappear.) Atmanandaji: Such is the glory and secret of Lord Krishna’s flute. Murkha Raj: What a sublime idea have you put into this simple story! Most of us, Swamiji, study these Puranas with a prejudiced mind. We catch hold of some superficial aspects of these Puranas and at once begin to criticise and condemn them. I wish a few wise men like you toured the country and helped disillusioned people to get rid of such stupid notions as now cover their intelligence and mould their intellect. (Turns to Jnana Dev) I came here in search of a cup of tea, but got a cup of nectar. What a shame! What a crime did I commit by characterising the Mahatmas here as a set of dull-headed idlers! But I now find that they are each one of them a fountain head of supreme knowledge. I must ask you to pardon this unintentional wrong done to you. My friends and I will form the first group of propagandists of the Divine Cause. |
