Acharya Prashant explains that being born into a rich or poor family, or with a congenital disease, is not the result of past life karma but rather a random manifestation of genetic material and spatial-temporal allocation. He uses the analogy of a river to illustrate this randomness; just as water droplets from the same river may land on a buffalo, a rock, or a plant by chance, human birth circumstances are accidental. He argues that the human ego dislikes randomness because it seeks a cause for every effect to justify its own sense of being a 'doer.' This compulsion to find a cause leads people to invent mystical explanations for random events, which Acharya Prashant dismisses as foolishness.
