I read an interesting article,excerpts I am providing below. Indian Philosophy states that the universe, let alone mind is 'Leela' Lila (Sanskrit: लीला, IAST līlā), or Leela is a concept within Hinduism literally meaning "pastime", "sport" or "play(wiki) According to Religious texts, As different from Philosophical Texts, th universe is God's Leela or pastime ,play. But the word 'leela' conveys more , that can not be expressed in English. It is more than a pastime, though unintended as we can perceive. The Sankhya Philosophy lists the two fundamental principles, Purusha and Prakriti. The world of Names and Forms evolved out of the 'sprasa matra' by their 'touching' each other, here again 'sparsa is more than touching. As the root causes are Principles we can no bet attribute Motives, so in this sense ,Mind is either or neither intended or unintended. The Non Dualism of Advaita states the whole world is not real, has only transitory existence and as such is both real and unreal, depends on one's stand point. So Mind is a Fluke and not a Fluke at the same time. The term inevitability is purely subjective and it depends , again on one's perception.
