We are indeed the DNA of this universe....
Physiological representation:
Look at the basic elements - Fire, Water, Earth, Wind and Space - both the universe as well as the tiny human beings share the same physiological characteristics...

Conscious representation:
At conscious level we have that inbuilt capability to interact with the universe, but the problem is we have lost that connection... the best example is how Animals interact.. if there is a danger coming that is occurred out of natural calamities (Earthquake, Tsunami) the animals are quite aware and take corrective measures... cus at some level they are interacting with the universe...
