Everybody deserves to be have enough money to be able to take care of their needs and lead a reasonably comfortable life. This does not happen because of two reasons.

Not all are meant to be rich. Or we can say that there are different kinds of wealth such as intelligence, compassion, love, peace, strength, endurance, courage, faith. Everyone gets their share in life but very few realise it and use it well. Most remain busy trying to get something that they do not have because they see others have it. In the process they neglect what they have and since they do not value it, they tend to lose it.

What was Mother’s view of classical music? I mean, were there composers that she believed could really be uplifting spiritually? I am interested, as it was around the turn of the 20th century, in her young age and youth, that a coarser movement in music came to evolve. 🎶🎼😊🙏🏻🪷[…]
