We Are Like the Rain - Baiji's Satsang

On Sunday, the baiji said:

What our life becomes... who we become... is largely due to the people we surround ourselves with.

In this way we are like water, which can find itself in many places, and become many different things.

The water that falls from the sky as rain and lands on dirt becomes mud.

The rain that falls into the ocean helps create the pearls found in clams.

Some rain will land on banana leaves and create camphor.*

And without water for the snake, there would be no venom.

Unlike the animals and insects, we are conscious creatures who can direct our lives and choose where we will land.
