Interpretation
One of the defining characteristics of this Universe is the similarity in perceiving co-incidence or design
Like many other characteristics of the Universe, it is almost impossible to clearly differentiate between the two…what appears to be co-incidence is very likely to be a well designed cog in the wheel of the Universe
Mankutimma, you would have heard of the Oyster which comes to the surface of the sea to catch a raindrop in the 1^(st) rain of the Swati Nakshatra & metamorphe it into a pearl. It is not a coincidence that the pearl has been formed. In the same fashion all the good things in your life like love, happiness, peace etc is also not coincidental…it is a part of your Destiny that has been ordained by the design of the Creator. Many factors including your good deeds in past have come into play to enable your present to be pleasant.
