Interpretation
If we accept that the Universe is the creation of the Creator, then why is there such an entropy & disorder here?
Why has He not given a definite direction & order to all the happenings in His Universe?
Or is this creation a mere hobby to Him?
Or is this something that he has created in his dream – maybe that explains why the Creation is an illusion?
It is just unimaginable that God has created what appears to be a mess
Mankutimma, God is certainly not a fool nor irresponsible. So there has to be some order hidden within all this madness. Wonder who will recognise this or when would we recognise this?
