Interpretation
The Creation is a smorgasbord of contradictory emotions – seemingly in a state of constant entropy; but with a very definite structure & method that links them
In the Universe, these are seeds of love that pop up simultaneously & concurrently with seeds of hatred.
Similarly there is peace & tranquility co-existing with misery & turmoil
Mankutimma, as you progress through life, you will certainly wonder at such randomness & contradictions in the Universe. It is but natural for you to get confused…you will tend to get lost in the maze of entropy that exists here…but, remember that the Creator does not play dice…there is a method behind this perceived madness…it just is not visible upfront…one has to strive hard to search for this Eternal Truth…it is only then that you will decipher the secret that unifies all the seemingly constant state of entropy…that is when you will evolve holistically
