Acharya Prashant addresses the question of whether a sudden death is a matter of destiny or divine intervention by stating it is neither. He explains that concepts like divinity and destiny are not relevant in this context. To illustrate his point, he uses a scientific analogy involving a glass of water filled with a vast number of similar molecules. He explains that if one were to plot the velocities of these molecules, they would form a normal distribution, or a bell-shaped curve. While most molecules would have a velocity around the mean or average, due to sheer randomness, some would be outliers with extremely high or low velocities. This variation is not because of any external dictation or pre-ordained destiny but is a natural outcome of randomness. Applying this analogy to human life, Acharya Prashant replaces the concept of molecular velocity with lifespan. He posits that all human beings are fundamentally similar, yet their lifespans also follow a random, bell-shaped distribution. Most people will live for an average number of years, but some will live exceptionally long lives, while others will die very young. This, he emphasizes, is not due to destiny or divine intervention but is a function of 'Prakriti' (Nature). Prakriti operates on its own laws of randomness and does not accommodate any external intervention. There is no specific reason for such events; randomness itself is the reason. He further clarifies that the human tendency to believe in either a personal plan or a divine plan stems from the ego's need to believe in a planner or a doer. However, the reality is that there is no overarching plan; events in life, including birth and death, are simply happening. There is no conscious entity with a plan orchestrating these events. The stories of divine intervention that some people narrate are not to be believed, as anyone can say anything. The more pertinent question is why we choose to believe such stories. In conclusion, Acharya Prashant states that since life and death are random occurrences, like waves rising and falling in the ocean, the wise advise not to take them too seriously or become overly attached. Prakriti has no regard for human feelings, beliefs, or emotions, as these are also products of Prakriti itself. He suggests that realizing that things do not happen according to any personal or divine plan is the key. Acknowledging the fundamental randomness of existence, while a difficult truth to accept, is what ultimately leads to spiritual freedom.
