"Dhara! Dhara! Are you all right?"

I tried to open my eyes. But I failed. It felt like my eyelids were made of lead. My whole body ached, like I was beaten up brutally. Cold sweat covered my face.

"Dhara!"

This time, I tried harder and finally succeeded in opening my eyes. I was looking at the most beautiful and godly face in the world.
Krishna!
My life, my love, was staring at my face; his dark eyes showering concern. I tried to give him a feeble smile. The tension lines on his forehead smoothened. He flashed me with one of his angelic smiles and I was already half healed. He placed his palm on my forehead and I was completely healed now, feeling fresh, new and happy. With his help, I sat up. Radha didi gently hugged me. I could never be better.

Me: What happened?

She: You passed out during the meditation.

I felt embarrassed. {Can that happen? Can anyone faint out during meditation?}

Me: I ... I ... umm ...

He: No need to say anything. You did a really great job.

Me: What?

He: You helped us. We did it!!!!!

His face regained its previous glow. He immediately rushed to his table and started with his calculations.

I looked at Radha didi for better explanation. It was my experience with him, he never gave a straight and simple explanation to anything. I had to break my head to understand the real meaning and worth of his seemingly silly words and activities. Radha didi was however the most trustworthy person, to whom I could turn for a simple and clear understanding.

She smiled and started patting my head affectionately.

She: Did you see anything or feel anything during the meditation?

I nodded and explained her everything I saw and felt.

She: Good. Then it will be easy explaining to you. See, as we told you, initially we started the meditation to calm ourselves down. That was when you felt drowsy and calm. You weren't sleeping. You were just calm. You were in your 'true state'.

Me: Did it happen to you too?

She: Yes! Whatever you felt throughout the meditation, was felt by us too. That is because we have trusted in each other so much, that our souls have been linked together. So we were experiencing the same thing at the same time.

Me: Oh ...

My brain was too slow to sink in the theory. But I was ready to believe it, all thanks to the recent supernatural experiences I had.

She: Hmm ... So, initially we tried to calm ourselves. Then we went ahead to find a solution to our problem. That is when you found yourself in space. We prayed the Almighty to help us with a solution. So he united the three of us. We became one soul. We got stronger. We could emerge into a strong positive force, a force that could deviate the asteroid of its path.

Me: What? I don't understand.

She: It is rather simple. We got a solution to our problem, because of the meditation.

Me: How? Why was I involved? How could I help?

She: You were involved because you are meant to be. You simply did not enter our life for no reason. You have a major role to play in this 'game of life' that we are all playing together. You are a part of our destiny. You are an important part of our life.

My eyes filled with tears.

Me: Am I really important?

She: Of course! Everything happens for a reason. Every person, every activity, every word, every thought ... everything, no matter how small or unessential it appears; has an importance. Without it, the world would not have been the way it is. So to be truthful, 'You make the World the way it is.'

I felt like my heart would burst inside me. What she said was true. Everyone and everything contributed their role in making the world the way it is. How the world would have been in its absence; no one knows. That is why we don't realise the value of them.

She: You helped us by giving your support and strength. What actually happened during the meditation was, we were uniting our internal forces to get stronger. As you willed to join us, your energy also merged with ours and we emerged into a strong force. A huge mass of energy which could find an answer to our question.

Me: What?

She smiled. I knew that I was irritating her. But my brain was unable to process too much of information. I felt like a small kid, who needed to be taught in the simplest possible way. But she understood me well, more than me. She smiled and took my hand into hers.

She: Our thoughts are actually nothing but outward protrusions arising from us; the 'true us, not the body'. That is why it is said that we can know a person by his/her thoughts. And we are made up of energy. So, in a simple way, when we think about something, our energy flows in that direction. That is the reason why we succeed or get better results when we do our work with concentration. When we concentrate, we channelize our whole internal energy on that job. This will definitely reduce the wastage or loss of energy through other useless thoughts.
The same is the case with meditation. When we meditate, we actually try to obtain a control over our thoughts. That is the reason why we feel better after meditation. We are conserving our valuable life energy, instead of letting it get wasted on unnecessary harmful thoughts.
But what we did today, was to channelize all our energies in one direction, together. And we thanked you for the same reason. For spending your energy with us, for making us stronger.

Now things started sinking in. I had a feeling that I understood it.

Me: Please don't thank me. I have not done anything great. I have only wanted to be with you people and do whatever you asked me to.

She: AWWW you are so sweet ...

She pinched my cheeks. I felt happy.

"Yes! We did it!"

He jumped in excitement. Before we could understand the situation, he pulled the both of us into a bone-crushing hug. His adorable smile was contagious. By the end of a minute, all three of us were smiling like crazy. Being the sensible one, Radha didi asked him.

She: What happened?

So guys ... again philosophy?

Well I can't help it. I am trying to put in all my vague thoughts and theories into this story. I hope it makes some sense to you people. If you have any doubts, feel free to ask me. And if you don't understand anything, let me know, so that I can try to explain better.

And more importantly, stay happy always.
