<Excerpt from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vasishta>

 

Another oft repeated verse in the text (Yoga Vashishta) is that of Kakathaliya

(coincidence). The story of how a crow alights on a coconut tree and that very

moment the ripe coconut falls on the ground. The two events are apparently

related, yet the crow never intended the coconut to fall nor did the coconut

fall because the crow sat on the tree. The intellect mistakes the two events as

related, though in reality they are not.
