Surangama Monologue from The King of the Dark Chamber

From The King of the Dark Chamber by Rabindranath Tagore

female · philosophical · 50 sec

The large door has opened... he is coming; my King is coming in. (SUDARSHANA: How can you perceive when he comes?) I cannot say: I seem to hear his footsteps in my own heart. Being his servant of this dark chamber, I have developed a sense--I can know and feel without seeing. (SUDARSHANA: Would that I had this sense too, Surangama!) You will have it, O Queen... this sense will awaken in you one day. Your longing to have a sight of him makes you restless, and therefore all your mind is strained and warped in that direction. When you are past this state of feverish restlessness, everything will become quite easy.
