Today’s quote from Einstein prompted this post today.

Is that true? Is “Coincidence ” God’s way of telling us that he is up there for us, looking for us and bailing us out. But when we can’t explain certain things we simply classify them as “Coincidence”! Much easy for us to accept if it is plain simple coincidence rather than accepting that there is larger force behind it and much better explanation.
I am firm believer in existence of God. When people tell me I have been plain lucky in my life – I tell them no – it is God looking after me! Instead of branding all lucky incidents in my life as “Chance” or “Coincidence” , I choose to call them “Miracles”- God’s way of telling me that he is there for me. All I have to do is open my heart and eyes for his love and blessings.

Just an trivial example – One of my colleagues in my previous company would openly say that one should be born with Param’s luck. He thought luck favoured me everywhere. One particular incident he loved to quote – once it started raining while most of us were on our way to office. Since weather was clear in the morning, none of us had brought any umbrella. It was good distance between the office and parking lot, meaning most of them were drenched ( and I mean really dripping drenched) by the time they reached inside. And it was winter time, so u can imagine how comfortable that would have been.But by the time I parked my car I saw one of my colleague standing beside my car with an umbrella. How nice! And the moment Rohit (my colleague whom I mentioned above) saw me all dry (while he was standing in cafeteria trying to figure out how to dry himself), he simply freaked out with usual stuff – u are so damn lucky. I know it is trivial incident and I could have simply said it was pure coincidence. But I chose to call it a miracle. God’s way of looking for me. Telling me that he is there. Another incident I can’t forget is – once me and my sister had to go to my old school which was good 30Km away from city. I had to collect some certificate or something. When we reached school we found out that schools was closed and realised that we had picked up less money. We didn’t had enough money to pay for our bus fare back home. We were very confused on what to do. Went to friend’s home nearby but it was locked. (I am talking about pre-mobile phone era, so we couldn’t simply call somebody to help us out). And suddenly (first time in my life and probably last time till now), I found money on the ground. Maybe for some people it is no big deal and again simple co-incidence, but for me it was miracle , again God’s way of helping me out.

So I am with Einstein when he says – “Coincidence is God’s way of remaining anonymous.”
