Interpretation

The Universe appears to be continually in a state of entropy…perceivably, there is disorder everywhere; yet when you look at it closely, there is a definite method to the madness that the Creator has designed.

This is visible even at a macro level here…in the lives of individual inhabitants of the Universe…they seem to be leading a life bereft of any method or control; yet they all evolve

Mankutimma, think on this aspect. All the negative emotions within you are very visibly being sensed by your ecosystem in all directions…yet, not every individual that you meet & interact is your enemy…time is the best healer for any & every negative interactions you would have had. You are constantly having thousands of such interactions through the course of your life – at times you win these interactions & are elated; at other times you lose & become sad. In the large scheme of things it all evens out…and mankind progresses. So, do not get super elated or super sad at your wins or losses – lead a balanced life & evolve as a better human being.
