A Buddhist saying, kinda meaning this is your place at this time, in the overall oneness and completeness of the universe.

In reference to your example, maybe that person by being there, was not in a place that may have been detrimemtal to his or someone else's existance. That's the negative way of viewing it. There could be more positive ways also. Not predestined, just being.

Always food for thought or meditation.
