The thirteenth session of 59th round of the Academy Branch Workshops was held on 3 August, 2017 at 10:55 a.m., this meeting was held by Master Dezhakam as the master of ceremony and Mrs. Zahra as the secretary and the weekly agenda was "Are all the members equal in Congress60?".
Master Dezhakam: Hello friends, I am Hossein, a traveler. I am fine and hope you are all keeping well. Today, we are going to appreciate the Congress60 website diligent members. The artificial space is very important to us. 63 percent of the website visitors are from Iran and 37 percent are from foreign countries. In addition, 15 percent of the foreign visitors are from England.
The communications between Professor White and I, which are constantly translated by Ehsan, is our history. All of these communications are specialized discussions on addiction. All of the written documents (including articles, letters and etc.) are kept in Illinois Document Centre in the US.
Fifteen years ago, when none of these things existed, I told Shahrooz that I wanted a site in which members could chat and see each other. Then "Chat Hall' was established, after four years we dissolved it, because it was running towards destruction. Surgical knife is a very useful thing; however, if you do not use it in a proper way, it will kill people, the same happened for "Chat Hall". The required capacity had not existed in the members. Just remember this sentence of mine, in the heaven, they only give salute. We should move in a way that nothing exists among us except salutation.
I enjoy the artificial space a lot, I love it and am interested in it. I have allowed you to have telegram channels. We should work on the message of liberation from addiction. Everything written must help treat addiction. Spirituality is not our goal. If spirituality can help treatment of addiction, it is useful, otherwise, it is not!
I think no one can reach Congress60 in Instagram. In celebratory occasions, you see the Congress60 and liberation pictures fill the instagram.
No one is allowed to fix a branch in the summer vacation. I want all the members to have a complete rest and think of themselves and their families.
Tell your pupils not to call you on these days of vacation at all. Do not give your pupils much assignment, let them be free. I have started the meeting a bit earlier so that those who have come from distant cities can return home earlier.
Today's agenda is whether all the Congress60's members are equal. Other NGOs say they are all drug-users; therefore, they are all equal. In 1996, I established a corporation with two friends of mine and we rented an office. I was the executive director. One morning, as I entered the office, I saw one of the partners sitting on my chair and stretching his legs on the desk. I asked: "why are sitting like this?" and he answered: "we are three executive directors here, three deputies and three butlers". Immediately, I dissolved the corporation, because we cannot say we are all equal. One is guide and one is pupil, in the holy Quran we have this: are the blinds equal to the people who can see? Are those who serve people equal to those who betray?
Few years ago, one of Congress60's members came to me and asked permission to cover the floor of this branch with ceramic. From that time on, people said that Mr. Dezhakam loves rich people, because as he came, we drank coffee here in my office. One day, in a public meeting I said that whatever you say is true, I drink coffee with him for ten minutes, because he is benefiting Congress60 and he helps Congress60, how about you? If I drink a coffee with you, sometime later, you will come and want me to pay for your cigarettes. It is obvious that I love those who benefit and help Congress60. However, to our eyes, all the people are equal, it is not true that we disregard justice. Some people are like the trees, they have fruits and they are productive. On the other hand, there are some people who have no fruits and they are mere consumers, we help these people so that they once become helpers. The closest people to God are the most decent ones.
Master Dezhakam once more emphasized that everything is off on the summer vacation.
At the end, in appreciation of the main members of Congress60's website (Mrs. Marjan, Miss. Elahe, Mr. Shahrouz, Mr. Ehsan, Mr. AmirHossein and Mr. Mahdi), Master Dezhakam donated gifts and appreciation letters to them.
