 Either there are no coincidences or it's all coincidences. 
 They're more than random events, almost like subtle nudges from the universe. They can spark curiosity, guide decisions, or reveal connections we didn’t see before. Maybe they're signs of a deeper pattern we’re just beginning to understand. 
 It's all consequences until we give all that we think it's ours, including our good and bad work to Krishna. Then the coincidences become joy because an old man with a beard is not God, instead of is a playful joyous person, a supreme person. The Supreme Personality of Godhead. 

Chant the Maha Mantra and if you don't feel joy then you get all of your Karma back and then it's coincidence or not coincidence. 

Hare Krishna Hare Krishna 
Krishna Krishna Hare Hare 
Hare Rama Hare Rama 
Rama Rama Hare Hare 

The tongue spends a majority of time chasing sense gratification and embellishments of truth by chanting the about 3 names of God the tong is liberated from nonsense to intense pleasure. It's the hashing of the life miner seeking out the Godhead and the reward is: 

Sat
Chit 
Ananda

 What a nice surprise to see something like this on Nostr 🫂 

An old man with a beard. A smiling baby. A bus driver. A boulder in the woods. A mother. A jumping frog.

All of it. 
 Its not a coincidence that this is a coincidence. 
 Or there are none and they all are, at the same time. 
 They are the same thing… 👁️ 🪬 
 all 
 Or both.

Similarly - it’s all a perfectly deterministic chain of interdependent cause-and-effect (“karmic” law) set in motion and continually enacted by our universal/collective consciousness (free will)

That’s a fun one to play with, if you enjoy philosophical endeavors. I think pantheism may be one way to sum it up… a perfectly non-contradictory blend of physics and divine/spiritual philosophy… 

I love this stuff 🤙
