In the old times, like the old, old times – for example, in China – the kings were spiritual persons, spiritual Masters, like King Yao, Shun, They were Masters, and They took care of the people just like Their own children.

I don't know much about Arabian countries, but in some Muslim countries and Arabian countries, I know that: they're not allowed alcohol at all, and they cannot be anything worse– cannot be bad, cannot be bad at all. It's just that some Muslim people are extremists, fanatics, and they really make a bad name for the Muslim people. But it's only a small percentage; the rest of the Muslim people, they are good. They help each other. Like I told you, one time, I went to Malaysia to lecture, and I saw the government built houses there for free, for the people. Malaysia, the Muslim government. That's a good, very tolerant country.

Then people not only eat, but they realize what they're doing: saving the planet, being a hero!
