Interpretation
Who is controlling our life? In whose hands are we a puppet
Is it a single puppeteer or many?
Why do we do what we do?
What drives us -- fate, valor, Dharma or blind faith?
We are all in this state of extreme entropy because of what we do
When will we some order in this chaos?
Or is this state of entropy the real order?
Mankutimma, is this what we will have to accept as the Final Reality & our Final Fate?
