   Well, we both agree - it was a joke.

   But, yes, if you are not centered, then the cosmos is off-balance.   
   When you are centered, the cosmic balance is restored.   
   You are the still point of the turning earth - infinitely small, maybe,   
   - but it all revolves around you.

   the cosmos doesn't unbalance. if it did it would   
   tip to one side and all of the hot fudge topping   
   would spill out across indra's net.
