[Background Music: begins in soft, solemn tones]
: Without any form of physical connection, our world is adorned—
a finite expanse that cannot possibly be bound.
To touch this renowned magnanimity,
there is no opportunity for bodily contact here;
yet, remarkably,
your spiritual awakening has grown indifferent in my touchless presence.
: You speak the truth.
The spontaneity of your feeling enchants me.
Your repeated entry and dwelling within my heart has overwhelmed me.
This is why, without your touch, my soul can never be stirred.
[Ambient music: slight restlessness]
: Your arduous worship has instilled fear in my heart.
Yet precisely for this reason, you are my sole companion in thought.
My external touch can completely mesmerize your body—
you have accepted it consciously, with sincerity.
: Indeed...
I am pledged to accept it...
compelled by my soul's response.
: But this repeated desire for experience
has dulled a part of your heart.
A deep wound has formed in your soul—
created by my very touch.
This feeling is irrepressible... indivisible.
: By nature, my external being cannot fulfill your heart's desires.
Transcending this limitation,
my mysterious entry into your soul—
has given birth to an ultimate beginning in my heart.
[Background music: gradually grows heavier]
: This wound—
it has entered the process of healing,
which is about to become prolonged.
: Without your effort,
my spiritual reconstruction is impossible.
In the presence of your soul full of possibility,
the permanence of my feeling called 'suffering' is wondrous.
Only you can give such feeling.
: You are the vessel of good fortune.
In the detached part of my soul,
only your touch has found acceptance.
In this inconceivable rapture,
my reflection is established
in the special chamber of your heart.
For this reason,
we—in this world—complement each other.
[Ambient music: sustained ascent]
: How ready am I to taste
the special joy you wish to give me—
tell me, what do you think?
: The nature of this feeling will soon become manifest.
You can accept it right now if you wish.
However, you have deliberately kept yourself from access.
For a particular reason you continue seeking my spiritual being.
Only at its culmination will you receive my ultimate joy—
sudden transformation will occur in your soul.
: The span of your feeling is long...
When receiving it, my true form
creates the feeling called 'emotion' in your soul.
This may disturb you.
And your slightest anxiety...
endangers me.
: For this reason,
I have kept my heart abstained
from tasting that ultimate joy.
: Your highest touch—
has repeatedly created terror in my soul.
The magnificent form of this feeling
is not awakened without your emotion.
[Ambient music: stops and slowly begins again]
: The message you wish to give me—
my soul is still unprepared to receive it.
: I can delay no longer.
The replacement of these two special feelings—'ultimate joy' and 'emotion'—
is only a matter of time.
Your patience is praiseworthy.
You are the bearer of 'suffering.'
This very suffering has made you patient.
: Only a soul as sensitive as yours
can awaken the feeling of love in my heart.
