It is achieved through understanding, acceptance, and reinvention of the self.

“We must understand the role of human rights as empowering of individuals and communities. By protecting these rights, we can help prevent the many conflicts based on poverty, discrimination and exclusion (social, economic and political) that continue to plague humanity and destroy decades of development efforts.

“We must use certain words; it is the main way to express our thoughts. Even with simple words, like mind and God, the matter becomes more complicated when we use them as terms with specific meanings outside their usual meaning. In this sense, God, as interpreted in most religious books, except in Buddhism, is not only personalized but becomes personal—he “listens” to and “cares” about us in a literal sense. On the other hand, the Absolute Mind is a different idea of the Being. However, what exists exists, regardless of our interpretation, and is not affected by our interpretations, except as a development of ourselves, which is, at the same time, the life of that of which we are part—of the Absolute Mind.”
