Principle of entropy increase and its application

From clausius theorem, we get
$dQ_2/T2 + dQ_1 /T1 ≤ 0$
$-∆S_{surrounding} - ∆S_{system} ≤ 0$
$∆S_{surrounding} + ∆S_{system} ≥ 0$
$∆S_{universe} ≥ 0$
It means, that entropy of the universe always increases. An attempt to decrease the entropy of a system will lead to infact an increase in the entropy of the universe.
This is also believed to be the reason that time always flow in one direction.
