Q: How does enlightenment affect the future of a nation?
M: Of course, it's much better if everyone in your country is enlightened. It's like seeing God walking all over the country. This doesn't only affect your country; it will affect the whole world. There will be no more war. There will be more love, more peace, more abundant food and more necessities for everyone, not just for this nation. The blessings will be shared more equally. So even if this country is very prosperous and peaceful, we still should think more of the world. And we should also be enlightened so that we can bless the world more because there are still many more suffering beings in this world.
