Shukra Monologue from The Judgment of Indra

From The Judgment of Indra by Dhan Gopal Mukerji

male · contemplative · 1:12 min

Can it be that it is over? Has Indra judged me and found me free of error? Yea, were I in error, the lightning would have struck me. I lay there blinded by rain awaiting my death. It did not come. Yea, Indra has judged! O, thou shadowy world, I am free of thee at last. Free of love and loving, free of all bondage. I have no earthly ties,—I lean on God alone. At last, I am bound to no earthly being, not even— —not even,—Shanta. Who is that?
