Meanwhile, the 13 people in my party followed me. Immediately, the waters of the river started to fall as soon as my feet touched its currents. By the time I and my party reached the other bank of the river, the other 100 people had started to follow us. When everyone reached the other side of the river, the waters of the river immediately started to rise again, making it impossible for anyone to safely cross its currents.
Everyone stood in amazement at the coincidence of events. They threw themselves upon their knees and profusely thanked me, and then we went safely toward our destination.
The meaning of this story is that your individual will is communicating at all times, in all places, with the cosmic will and energy of the universe. If you repeat the Namokar Mantra which connects you with cosmic energy, then you can get almost any effect in the material world that you desire.
