On a larger scale, we can understand that behind the creation of the universe there exists a will. Due to the existence of this will, the universe has been created, and is being controlled and maintained in an organized and harmonious fashion. The laws of nature are not accidental; they are the result of will. Just as a person in a particular country may have the will to introduce and establish a new law, similarly, the Supreme Will is responsible for the laws of nature.
