The broad answer is that nobody can be sure why anything happens until they know their self. Someone who exists mainly as a reactionary being sees the world through an emotional lens which distorts the clarity of perception. They will then unavoidably take any event or situation out of context of the totality of life. This disturbs the psychic flow between the inner and outer worlds and leads to confusion, anxiety and tension which becomes the normal vacillating emotional way of life. How then can anyone know for sure why anything happens as it does?
There are two types of knowledge: the indirect knowledge gained from academic or worldly application, and the other gained through the direct knowledge of the living experience. An example of worldly knowledge is having a degree in law or being a certified plumber. The other type of knowledge, gained through the direct experience of life, is the realisation beyond any doubt of something that had previously been unconscious and able to influence the actions and state of mind of the person. An example is having seen the futility of holding on to the pain and hurts of the past. From the spiritual perspective, this is referred to as self-knowledge which is the perception of the workings of the psychic body of self within the physical body.
To the degree that someone has purified their inner space through entering the body in stillness while also attending to any problem areas in the external life, the knowledge of why things happen as they do will become much clearer. โAs within, so withoutโ is the ancient wisdom which describes, in a nutshell, the two sides of existence. Worldly knowledge focuses exclusively on the material side of existence, whereas self-knowledge encompasses both the inner and outer sides in a 360 degree arc of pure perception. With no fixed position of mind, the world and the individualโs place is seen and known to be in the context of the whole.
Then, whatever happens simply unfolds as one sequence of life to the next. Since the man or woman is no longer in revolt to the great harmony of life, they function in a way that serves the greater good. Although this may go largely unnoticed in the world, their lives will reflect to anyone receptive a subtle light of the unchangeable mystery of the divine.
