Interpretation
The Creator has made His creation; the Univer so complex that at no single point of time is it possible for man to find answers or reasoning that well explains all events & happenings here
It only when man evolves his knowledge & thought process that things start to unfold layer by layer like an onion
Mankutimma, you need to develop the patience & diligence to build up your knowledge & reasoning abilities. It is only then that the events in this Universe will start to make sense to you – else you will either see them as mere co-incidences based on which you will make wrong inferences & decisions or you will worry yourself to death in trying to understand & analyze them. Therefore, building knowledge is very important & even more so is developing good & sound reasoning ability, without which pure knowledge is of no use. As they say; Half knowledge is dangerous.
