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
