Interpretation
The Universe is such a complex creation that at any given point of time & space, it is impossible to completely comprehend the mechanism based on which it operates
Among one of the innumerable dichotomies that exist here is the duality on whether to make an attempt to understand this or not? Since it is anyways incomprehensible
Mankutimma, one may wonder why there are 5 elements? Why not 25? Should one even go deeper into determining whether more than 5 exist? Will it help you to lead a more meaningful life? Comprehending this is very difficult; yet without understanding, how can one evolve? What should one do? Should one try to understand bits & pieces of this Universe and then try to join the jigsaw puzzle? So many questions; so little answers…such is the power of His Cosmic spirit that is all-pervading in this Universe. There is no single absolute correct answer to these questions; for it could change in another context of time & space…realise the genius of the Creator; bow to him; understand your role here in this Universe, search for your answers that are right in your context…execute these diligently and you will evolve as a better person
