Are we Random? or an established pattern?

Just a random thought occurred to me like always and I spent some time brooding over it. Here is the perception or the delusion I have come out with.

It started with one question: What do you feel, how random life is? Or its predefined and patterned?

Well after reading few spiritual literature and some ancient scriptures, I leaned the world is not a random creation, its a definite work of God where nothing can actually be random. Ever event is predefined. And the God manifests himself in every being. So The manifestation of God exists as widely in the whole universe as a single entity as in a human being. So I can conclude human being is a reflection of the universe in itself. It reminds me of the Fractal
programs I wrote in college. The smallest building element is nothing but an exact manifestation of the whole body. So the birth of the universe with big bang can be compared to the birth of a child. As soon as the child is born the whole system turns more chaotic.
The man since birth will tend to be in equilibrium by nature but it will only lead to increase in entropy. Being an isolated system in itself there is no way the randomness in it will can decrease following the second law of thermodynamics.

Now can we take a look at what they call as Maya and to find out the answer to the question we started with?

Maya is supposed to be the illusion we live in, including the sense that we have a life and we have senses and we live till death. Where we assume death is the end and birth as beginning. I would say Maya is nothing but yeah a set of illusion or predictions. We live at the present. But we expect and build the future thats the next immediate moment of the present and hence on. I believe there a proportion of certainty and uncertainty associated with prediction or expectation we make. Like we see what we want to see, we believe what we want to believe with the limit of our knowledge and power to perceive. So when we take a step forward we assume or expect or predict it to be placed at a particular position in the next immediate moment. But Future is unpredictable. And hence the expectation we set has a degree of uncertainty associated with it. There is no 100% guarantee that the out come of the event will be exactly same as predicted. Hence all we do at any present moment is with respect to the current event predict a future moment which actually is as uncertain as certain. Thats probability of occurance would be 0.5. So we are doing nothing but in reality live in illusion. When the expectation fails we call it misfortune. And when mate its fortune. But in reality the unbiased probability of fortune or misfortune is exactly the same. Hence may be thats how the Saints live as they know this mathematical truth and choose to be rather indifferent. But a slightly closer thinking at it will tell us that its not as simple a process as I have described it till now. There is a degree of bias on the future by the present event. Say like if I know I am going to appear for an exam, and I have put in effort so the probability of being fortunate will increase. And hence the probability of misfortune will decrease. Hang on... with it can we say that we can actually have control over the future by means of the choice we make at the present? Well may be yes. Thats what they may call the law of karma. Your Karma decides the future. Its the choice we make for the present event thats leads us to a more chaotic state or increase in entropy. That decision precisely decides or controls the outcome we may have in the immediate next moment. Either increasing or decreasing the number of choices or state we may leap to from there. That means the degree to which we can be fortunate or mis-fortunate can be predicted or decided at present. It implies, with a closely calculated decision we can actually make ourselves luckier over time, as I told above luck is nothing but meeting the expectation we set for a future time. So one can work out to live long enough to see himself getting luckier close to absolute one as to it happens exactly what he predicts or expects. May be thats what is the miracles we see.

So to sum it up: Life is a random event with many possible out come of any event occurring now and leading to the occurance of another like a chain reaction. And yes we do live in Maya as we just keep predicting the expected outcome for the immediate next moment which actually is equally improbable as probable. But as said the future is in our hand.
