Interpretation

The Cosmic Spirit or the unseen Force in the Universe is not only all-pervading; but also continually infuses new energies into the Universe invigorating everything & everyone here.

The air in the atmosphere is all-pervading…it is the same air which when enters our body becomes such a powerful energy source that sustains life. The same air that aimlessly descends from sky & blows through caves & mountains suddenly evolves its energy when it enters the body of man

Mankutimma, the unseen Cosmic Spirit that exists in this Universe in an unseen form & is not even perceived by most people, when it gets infused into the bodies & souls of the beings in this Universe suddenly changes character & transforms itself into being the root cause for Life to not only exist on this earth but also causes it to evolve continually. It is this Force that is responsible for this Universe to exist. Recognise this Energy & surrender yourself to it…and adapt yourself to this thereby continually evolving.
