Why do we choose our families in this life?

You do not choose your family; your unawareness and karma guide you into the womb that fits your past. Only through conscious love and awareness can you prepare to die in such a way that you reclaim the power to choose.

— Osho
According to Osho, we do not choose our families; unconscious death propels us robotlike into a womb that matches our unawareness and karmic deserving—'what fits you' receives you. Only a buddha, dying consciously, can choose. Your past life pushes you into a certain family. Cultivating awareness—especially through conscious love—prepares you to die consciously and thus to choose.

You didn’t pick your family; your unconscious state pulled you to parents like you, and by becoming aware now you can gain choice in the future.
