Interpretation
The Creator manifests in various forms in the Universe as part of his role of Nurturer of His creation. These manifestations happen concurrently & are responsible for His omnipresent characteristic
One of the more prominent manifestation is that of Providence.
Mankutimma, it is through this manifestation that He nurtures this Universe & becomes responsible for all the ongoings here. He works in mysterious & often unfathomable ways in this manifestation. As Providence, He links people & events from perceivably disconnected time/location/places & influences them. To an average man, this appears to be devoid of logic & perceivably causes more harm than good. Don’t be mistaken though, there definitely is a clear logic; just that man may not have evolved to the extent of understanding it. So, do not think of Him as only a do-gooder; often at times he comes across as a tantrum raising child who throws sand in a sweet dish – leaving it attractive; but unpalatable. Realise that if things are not per your expectations, it is a result of your Karma & He has made you pay back.
