🌊 Meeting Life’s Floods with Acceptance | Responding, Not Reacting

Babaji shares his reflections as the Bal Ashram in Varanasi faces record-breaking floods. Despite the devastation—homes lost, crops destroyed—he observes the strength, gratitude, and acceptance of those living along the sacred river Ganga.

Through stories of resilience, including villagers who choose to praise and rebuild rather than complain, Babaji illustrates the transformative power of acceptance.

“The river has given so much—now it takes. I accept, and I will build again.”

Babaji reminds us that true spiritual practice is tested in adversity. The difference between reacting and responding determines whether we fall into fear or rise in strength. When hardship comes, instead of blaming or complaining, we can ask:
👉 What can I do next?

He offers a simple yet profound practice:
1️⃣ Notice your reactivity.
2️⃣ Pause and take a deep breath.
3️⃣ Respond with awareness and appropriate action.

This satsang is an invitation to face life’s floods—whether literal or metaphorical—with courage, gratitude, and an open heart.
