Interpretation
The Creator has chosen a very interesting way to ensure that the Universe that he devised gets nurtured & expanded in such a way that it is self-sustainable
He has ensured that there is no need for any intervention from Him to ensure that His Creation does not self-extinguish
Mankutimma, from millions of years ever since man emerged in this Universe & evolved as a social being; all the practices, cultures, traditions, beliefs have been passed on from generation to generation without any interruption whatsoever. Every new thought, new philosophies, new ideas gets propogated & further honed. It is this constant & uninterrupted transmission that keeps the Universe perenially fresh…in some sense it is an endless stream of elixir for the Universe in general & mankind in particular.
