Maitreya speaks of the "little ones" as His most beloved; those most recently incarnated from the animal kingdom.
"He will launch a call to action to save the millions of people who starve to death every year in a world of plenty. Among Maitreya's recommendations will be a shift in social priorities so that adequate food, housing, clothing, education, and medical care become universal rights." http://www.shareintl.org/maitreya/Ma_main.htm Maharishi took care of "the littles ones" in His mission by inviting everyone who was so inclined to start meditation and fasten the evolutionary process. All glory to Lord Maitreya.
