Is there such a thing as an accident, or is everything predetermined?

definition
"What we call an 'accident' is merely our ignorance of the intricate web of causes that shape our reality; in truth, everything is interconnected and unfolds with a hidden order beyond our current perception."
According to Osho, what we call an 'accident' is usually our ignorance of subtle causes. Events arise from a vast, interconnected chain we don’t yet perceive; with fuller science or awareness, they would appear orderly, not random. Premonitions and shared hunches hint at these hidden links. This isn’t blind fate, but causality too fine for our current understanding.
Nothing happens for no reason; we just don’t see the reasons yet.
Why this matters practically
- Cultivate awareness and heed subtle signals (intuition, patterns) to make wiser choices.
- Investigate causes instead of blaming fate; improve safety, relationships, and work.
- Stay humble: uncertainty often reflects limited understanding, not chaos.
