Interpretation
One of the defining characteristics of this Universe is that it is designed in such a way that only the Creator can bear influence on the ongoings here
Irrespective of how much man feels that he is on top of all things, everything is in his control; there is something called an ‘’Act of God’’ which disposes of everything than man proposes
Mankutimma, as you progress through life, you may tend to become arrogant & get a feeling that you have written your own destiny & that you can even write others’ destiny. Never fall into that trap; for at the most unexpected time & in the most unexpected situation could things change dramatically for better or worse…and these changes can often be slow & steady…you may not even know about it till it is too late. But be sure, that the Creator in his manifestation as Destiny will surely influence your life…there is no getting away. Accept this fact, perform your work diligently & be prepared to face any scenario
