Interpretation
One more dichotomy is that between order & chaos in various beings that inhabit this Universe
One may view certain activities in this Universe to be following a particular order or system; while others appear to be random or chaotic
What man views as order or chaos is only based on the limited perceptory senses that he has & is a judgement only of what is visually seen & perceived by him
Mankutimma, in such a scenario where man has not bothered to introspect deeper into the real cause for this order or chaos; does his opinions really matter? Until you dig deeper and understand the unseen Force that is driving these activities & are able to sense & perceive this Force & introspect & deliberate upon it, any opinion on order or disorder in the superficial world is irrelevant. So, set your mind & focus on the spirit, on the Force & not just the external forms
