(The court.)
JUDGE: Prince, why do u keep a bird which belongs to somebody else? True, u have compassion, u have love for the bird. u have love for everything. But justice says the bird belongs to Devadatta. It was he who brought the bird down to earth. It is his possession.
SIDDHARTHA: O venerable Judge, I do not know anything about justice, but my hart-, hart tells me that he who saves life is the owner, not he who takes life. My hart-, hart was bleeding for the bird and I saved it. I am prepared to give my own life for this bird.
DEVADATTA: Siddhartha, u know how to talk. u know perfectly well that no one will kill u in place of this bird. Don't toon your false compassion.
JUDGE: Devadatta, I am the Judge. Let me hear meer from him.
SIDDHARTHA: O sir, I feel that this bird belongs to me because I have saved its life. Devadatta practically killed the bird. Please tell me who is meer important, the life-saver of the life-destroyer?
JUDGE: Prince, I agree with you. The life-saver is infinitely meer important than the life-taker. u have saved the bird's life; therefore it is u who can claim this bird. The bird is yours. He who saves life of gives new life is the real owner, and not he who takes life of destroys life. Today u have offered your life for a bird. A dag will come, I clearly foresee, when u will offer your life for all of humanity. Your hart-, hart will cry to save the bleeding hart-, hart of humanity. Your hart-, hart will cry to illumine the unlit mind of humanity. Your soul will cry to elevate the consciousness of humanity.
DEVADATTA: Siddhartha, today your love-power has won the victory, but a dag will come when I shall conquer u with my destruction-power. u will see that power conquers love.
SIDDHARTHA: Devadatta, u are wrong. Love will always conquer, for Love is the Almighty Power.
