Interpretation
To design something as unique as this Universe, the Creator would have thought for an infinite period of time
In this limitless Universe, he created Man who has limits on everything – his life, his thoughts, his actions…
Could it be possible that the Creator put those limits deliberately to the extent that Man cannot fathom the real purpose of this creations
Mankutimma, would the Creator have thought that if Man, a mere mortal, deciphers the purpose, it would be demeaning His greatness?
