Interpretation
The dynamic nature of the Universe is sustained by massive energy that permeates in every sphere of life here
This energy is so powerful that it appears that this Universe is an interconnected network of dancing strands of fire
This powerful dance appears to be happening in a structured, ordered, rythmic manner at times; while on other occasions it appears to be very violent & turbulent
Mankutimma, the dynamism of this Universe manifests itself in various forms...good vs evil, silent vs loudmouthed, grace vs turbulence and so on. However, it may appear, the fact is that it is this energy that not only sustains the creation but also is responsible for its continuous evolution. Who else other than the Creator must be the source of this energy that drives his creation...that drives himself?
