Arab Man Coming Back for Books Again and Again.
\nVijaya Dasa: While distributing books at the West LA College in Los Angeles, I was speaking to a man from Saudi Arabia. He is upset that there is so much fighting in the Arab countries. I showed him the picture in the Gita of how a wise person sees within everyone both a soul and God and therefore respects all living entities.
\nThen I said, \u201cIf everyone saw like this, there\u2019d no longer be wars around the world and there\u2019d be no room for racism.\u201d
\nHe was so pleased to hear this that he gave a donation for a Gita, and I also gave him \u201cBeyond Birth and Death\u201d in Arabic. He was shocked that I had a book in Arabic, and that increased his happiness. Ten minutes later he came back and said that he had read some of the book and found it very interesting. He asked whether I had more books in Arabic. I said, \u201cNo, sorry.\u201d
\nThen he said, \u201cDo you have any more copies of the same book?\u201d
\nI said, \u201cYes, I do.\u201d
\nI gave him two more, and he made another nice donation.
\nTen minutes later he came back again and asked whether he could give a donation for another Gita. This was turning into too much ecstasy.
\nI gave him my contact information, and he said that he\u2019ll visit the temple this Sunday.
\nI was waiting for him to come back again, since it had become a regular thing, but he didn\u2019t. I hope to see him again this Sunday.

I showed him the picture in the Gita of how a wise person sees within everyone both a soul and God and therefore respects all living entities.
\nThen I said, “If everyone saw like this, there’d no longer be wars around the world and there’d be no room for racism.”
\nHe was so pleased to hear this that he gave a donation for a Gita, and I also gave him “Beyond Birth and Death” in Arabic. He was shocked that I had a book in Arabic, and that increased his happiness. Ten minutes later he came back and said that he had read some of the book and found it very interesting. He asked whether I had more books in Arabic. I said, “No, sorry.”
