Interpretation
Where is the evidence of the Creator being Omnipresent & Omnipotent within his creation?
A seed comes in contact with soil & using the nutrients & water there & sunlight grows into a sapling & then into a magnificent tree which in turn provides food, oxygen, shelter thereby creating another cycle of symbiotic lives
Light travels through this universe at a tremendous speed bringing life to many objects; rotation & revolution of the earth causes different seasons in different parts of earth thereby again generating symbiotic cycles of lives
Mankutimma, what this the energy that causes the seed to germinate & grow, light to be dynamic & not static, earth to continuously keep moving, time to continuously keep ticking on...how magnificent is this energy without which the entire universe would be a static one...don't you see the hand of the Creator in this energy?
