Interpretation
The all-pervading presence of the Creator can be found everywhere in His Universe
The Universe is in a state of continuous dynamism...there is an unseen energy that drives every being & every activity here
This dynamism in the Universe gives a perception of continuous growth to all the various beings here as they hustle their way through their lives
Mankutimma, if you dig deep into this & do a root cause analysis, you will find that it is this magnificent unseen energy which is the reason why lives exist in this Universe & why they co-exist in a symbiotic way with other beings. Isn't this energy nothing but the Creator in His all-pervading form? What or who else can be so brilliant? Does he need to announce himself? Isn't this symbiosis seen in the Universe proof enough?
