00:00So, you asked me, good and bad things that happened, are they coincidence or karma?
00:06Both.
00:07To what extent are these things coincidental?
00:10To the extent they are external.
00:12The external world we said is random.
00:15Anything can happen anytime to anybody.
00:17There is no guarantee of any fixed thing happening.
00:21At best, things are probabilistic.
00:24But when it comes to the inner world, how you respond to what happens to you, it is
00:29your choice, your decision.
00:31And that decision cannot be taken fully in this moment itself.
00:36You cannot say, I want to remain uninfluenced by all the catastrophic situations outside
00:42and wish that what you want just happens.
00:46If you really want to be uninfluenced by external situations, you'll have to work very hard
00:53at developing that kind of a core within.
00:56And that is karma.
