What is the nature of coincidence?

Coincidence is merely the illusion of randomness; beneath the surface, every event is intricately woven by unseen causes and intentions.

— Osho
According to Osho, what we call coincidence is simply the surface appearance of events whose causes we cannot see. Existence is a web of subtle influences—including strong human intention—so outcomes can align astonishingly without being random. We label it chance only from ignorance. In truth, nothing is accidental; hidden causes continuously shape what appears unpredictable.

Coincidences are just results of hidden causes, often moved by strong intention, that we don’t notice.
