Interpretation
The Universe has been created in such a way that it appears to be in a pernnial state of entropy...but is this really true?
The Creator is the genesis of atoms, living & non-living beings, planets, stars in this Universe
Each of these creations are inter-dependent with unseen forces or rules guiding their passage through this Universe
He then appears to give some leeway to His creations & allows them to dance through their lives in this Universe giving a sense of entropy
Mankutimma, the reality is that while each being in this Universe appears to exist of their own free-will, there is a distinct, unseen force that binds them all to each other making all their lives closely knit & inter-dependent. At a micro level, the individual has the illusion of leading a free-willed life; at a macro level, every being in this Universe is co-dependent.
