While i was reading the book by the great saint, i came accross the following story:

   "Once Narad Muni was roaming from places to places..while he was on his journey to different lokas he saw saints performing Yagnas and Poojas and other spiritual practices. Seeing this Narad got curious and went to Lord Brahma and asked, "What is the glory of a Saint?" 

     Hearing this Lord Brahma smiled and told Naradji to go to a cocoon and ask. Naradji leaves and goes to Prithvi Loka and the moment he approaches the cocoon, the cocoon dies. Being disappointed he returns and tells Lord Brahma about it. Lord Brahma then says, "Dont worry Narad...now go to the duckling and ask." Naradji leaves and goes to the duckling and the moment he appraoches the duckling, the duckling dies. This time again Naradji is disappointed and returns to Lord Brahma and narrated the incidence. Lord Brahma says : Dont worry Narad, now go to the king...he just had a newborn prince..ask him. Naradji leaves and the moment he approaches the king's couryard everyone is very pleased to see Naradji -- that he has come to give blessings to the newborn. The moment Naradji takes the baby the baby dies and becomes LIGHT. This time Naradji is very very disappointed and sad and with a long face returns to Lord Brahma and narrates the whole incidence.........& at this Lord Brahma says, "NARAD! THIS IS THE GLORY OF A SAINT!" At this Narad says, "Sorry, Lord Brahma I did not get you, please explain.

  Lord Brahma then tells Narad that when he approached cocoon, the cocoon was relieved from that yoni (cycle) and took birth as  duckling and when his lotus feet approached duckling, the duckling was relieved from that cycle and took birth as king's son and when he approaced the little prince he then was not only relieved from that cycle but also from the cycle of birth and death and hence became Light......"O NARAD! THIS IS THE GLORY OF A SAINT" .....

     This story had goosebumps all over my being and while i closed my eyes and contemplated on the story a question arose inside me: what is our contribution/importance? and then to look for the answer i sat for meditation although i was fully connected but still didnt get any answer and then i went to sleep (they say when u sleep after meditation -- whatever u see in ur dreams is a part of ur meditation) anyhow this is the dream i had:

 " there is this stadium which is fully crowded. I am a part of the one of the basketball teams. While we played i had the basketball in my hands and wanted to score a goal but instead i pass the ball to one of my team mates and he scores and we win the game. After the game was over all the friends gathered around our team and i boasted "we won the game....we won the game" and in turn one of my friends asks "WHAT WAS YOUR CONTRIBUTION? infact u did not even score a goal" .......to which i answered "only my being there was enough.....and then i looked into his eye and emphasised : "ONLY MY BEING THERE WAS ENOUGH" ........

     I understood at that time that only our existance is enough to show God's bountiful love....God's energy pours through us all the time, all of us ARE the beackon of light, in this body only we can meet the creator within, we can talk to HIm and also become HIm....we are already fulfilled inside and once this practise is put into use with pure heart and intention -- we become the wish-fulfilling energy of God (for a good cause)... we all carry God's energy in its fullness already ..........
