What are the basic human rights that make our existence on earth joyful?
Did you think of a few things?
Now think, what could be some basic spiritual rights, rights bestowed upon us as human beings? Things that no one can or should stop us from achieving? The qualification being simply, our human birth? This morning's meditation covered those basic human spiritual rights aspects that are granted to us by the grace of Shri Mataji, through self-realization:
We heard the first 20 minutes or so. The take home message for me was the importance of valuing divinity and working out our imperfections, because hiding them just delays our improvement.
