is it chance?

The following story is a variation on the elephant of Brahma posted just now.

Mahirshi Shunya once, while in his meditations remembered Jai Paramartha. He thought he would go in search of him. He had no idea as to the whereabouts of the mystic. Nevertheless he packed up and went. Lo and behold he caught up with one whom he had only once seen. They chatted and the old man wanted JPto amuse him with a story:

. “ Brahma once went visiting. At some place he stopped over. He tied his elephant to a tree but when he thought he would continue his journey he could not find what tree it was. He called for Shiva. The god of destruction produced a seed and said that it was from the tree to which the animal was tied. Brahma was incredulous but Shiva assured that he would soon find it. Shiva held the seed out. In a trice it was swallowed up. There was his elephant!

Something of that seed disagreed with the animal and he broke wind. A Big Bang it was. The seed came out in cataclysmic force. In its wake came energy making every form visible! Not only that of elephant, but also many universes! The universes were all pulsating with energy and grew out of the tree.
What seemed chaos was Brahma’s idle thought.

“ Are you surprised that I found you here?” Old mahirshi asked JP
“ No, our meeting was bound to happen.” the mystic replied.
