Interpretation
The Supreme Cosmic Energy is omnipresent & omnipotent in this Universe…it is the root source of various forces here
Additionally, both the Universe & the Supreme Energy are both infinite in dimensions of time & space…so, any point or co-ordinate in this universe can be treated as the focal point of this Energy…one does not have to travel long distances to merely search for it
Every Man can identify himself as a focal point of the small world in which he lives, irrespective of his co-ordinates of time & space
Mankutimma, the whole Universe is akin to a large Cosmic boiler in which several Forces & Energies are co-existing. Man is continuously influenced by these Energies that his senses are experiencing. It is only when Man starts to consider himself as a Focal Point of all these Energies, that he will strive hard to hone his senses & harnesses them in such a manner that these energies are all seen by the outer world as manifested through him…that is when Man becomes an invincible ‘’weapon’’ like Indra’s Vajra.
