Interpretation

The Universe is made of 2 things -- Living (Dynamic) & Non-living (Static)

They appear to be existing in a mutually exclusive way within The Universe

However, in reality there is a Unique, Omnipotent thing/concept that has surrounded & penetrated deeply into both The Dynamic & The Static

Such is this strange Omnipotent Web that it can neither be measured nor does it respond to any emotions

Mankutimma, Salute to that strangeness; Salute to that Sri Vishnu, the Omnipotent
