Interpretation
The Creator has so designed the Universe with a veil of illusion that gives a feeling to man that he is on top of everything in his life
In reality, it is just His way of creating more challenges to man for it is only He who holds the key to unravelling the Gordian knot seen in the Universe
Mankutimma, your role in this Universe is to perform your duty to the best of your skills & capabilities. Do not worry about the future & how it would pan out? Live in the present, focus on your work that you have chosen to perform, learn continuously, apply those learning into your life & continually evolve. You can only do so much…it is not within your purview to write your destiny & make it bend to your will. So, don’t break your head over that; instead focus on things that are within your control & that are your duty to perform
