Should animal rights be raised to the level of human rights, and if so, will this happen in this lifetime?

Should animal rights be raised to the level of human rights, and if so, will this happen in this lifetime?
This is one of the most beautiful and divine thoughts and that has to be realized by humans. It is a very, very good question and I thank him who has given this question. Animal rights should be compared and put on the same level as human rights. We know that innocent, helpless creatures are suffering because of humans. I hope and I do believe that humans will wake up and say that we don’t want to kill this animal. Once said Jesus, those creatures which have eyes- do not eat them. And, all have eyes. And, eyes means not the physical eyes only, those that are living and moving have eyes. So it is very hard to say if it will be realized in our lifetime. But, we pray for that, and thank you for asking this question. More and more humans should realize that we should not kill animals. We should love them, we should feed them, but we should not eat them. My prayers, my good wishes to God that give the right thoughts to the human beings, that our family members, our brother and sister animals should not be tortured and killed but should have the right to live on this planet. They are also the citizens of this planet. Thank you for asking this question.
How do we keep a balance between family and work life and our spiritual life?

How do we keep a balance between family and work life and our spiritual life?
Spirituality means not that we renounce everything. Spirituality means how we think, how we act, how we behave and, what we are doing in our free time. That is spirituality; if, in your free time, you are meditating, praying, going for a walk in the forest, having a very balanced, harmonious relation to nature, and thinking all the time about the Divine, God, without any conflict among religions, cultures, because there is only one God, because we belong all to that one God. We are all family to that one God.
So while remaining and working in the family, you can be spiritual. You should have your mantra, you should repeat your mantra. Go to Satsang. Satsang is very, very important for everyone. Read the holy books, different holy books and prayers, and try to be helpful and good to all.
