The Nice Sense of Serving People
The fifth session of the 25th Congress60 workshops in Roudaki branch of Congress60 was administered on April 8th , 2021 at 16 p.m. by Mr. Reza Torabkhani (the Dideban of Congress 60) as the guest speaker and traveler Ammar as the master of ceremony, and travler Majid as the secretary. The agenda was “knowledge, Effective knowledge and literacy”.
Mr. Torabkhani’s speech:
I am very happy to be here as the guest speaker. Congress 60 guide-exam papers have not been scored yet due to 40000 papers of the participants which takes lots of time to score.
When we are serving people (in Congress 60), we know it is not serving others, but ourselves, so that we ourselves can feel well and reach a blissful life. We also have to come to this contemplation that whatever we do as a serving must be done with honour. We have to know what we are seeking and what our purpose is while serving people. When I entered Congress 60, I wanted to be liberated from addiction and return to a normal life. However, as my addiction got treated in Congress 60, my attitude changed. The strength of Congress 60 is that we can share our attitudes and viewpoints freely without being criticized. When a person speaks about their experiences, they can understand their own weaknesses or strengths and consequently, they reach Knowledge. Of course, the guides in here lead our attitudes so that we can distinguish the right from the wrong and as a result we can reach Effective Knowledge.
When we enter Congress 60 and attend meetings, we have to see the effect of instructions on us and this effect can be observed by ourselves and others and as a result Knowledge is gained. The instrument with which we can observe ourselves is Knowledge and when we put this knowledge into practice it is called: “The Effective Knowledge”.
In our own life, we know many things, but knowing them has any effects on the quality of our life. When I was a drug abuser, I was vastly disappointed and I did not believe that one day I could be liberated from addiction. Congress 60 made my life meaningful and I hope with applying our knowledge, we can make other people’s life meaningful too.
In the second part of today’s meeting, we have the celebration of the seventh year of Mr. Hossein’s liberation from addiction. His guide is Mr. Babak Pasari who could not attend here due to some current principles of Congress 60. Mr. Parsari has taught Hossein how to live a good life and he started his serving in Vahid branch of Congress 60. He has voluntarily rushed to serve people and served in many positions. All the servants must know the value of their position and Hossein has done it. His son, Pouria, has always been with him. To serve people in Congress 60 all the family members must accompany the person, and so did Hossein’s family members. I congratulate Hossein, his family and friends on the seventh year of his liberation from addiction.
Traveler Hossein’s declaration of liberation:
Hello friends, I am Hossein a traveler. My anti-Xes were opium and its extract, I traveled under the supervision of Mr. Babak Pasari within a year using the DST method and OT (Opium Tincture). My sports are football and footsal (futsal). I have been liberated from addiction seven years ago.
Traveler Hossein’s wish: I hope Roudaki branch of Congress 60 will be a role model and becomes an efficient branch.
When I entered Congress 60, the first thing I learned was to be grateful in words, action and behavior. I am thankful to God that I was born in a family who taught me the values of life: honesty, the wrong and right path and self-confidence. I am grateful to God for bestowing upon me my wife who was very patient when I was a drug abuser. She always accompanied me even in my treatment period. I am also grateful to God for having Pouria, my son, who has been my friend and bore my problems. I am grateful to God because I am living in an era when Mr. Dezhakam and Didebans like Mr. Torabkhani are living in. Mr. Dezhakam is a definite and complete role model of serving human beings. I am very happy to find Congress 60 because due to Congress 60 (instructions) I could achieve many things that I could not achieve throughout my life. I am also thankful to Mr. Babak Pasari, my dear guide, I never forget his helps. I am thankful to Mr. Torabkhani who accepted to be the guest speaker, despite having lots of duties and tasks. He has always helped me during my second travel. At last, I thank all the people who helped me so that I can experience such a (good) position and I hope I can return your favour.
Companion Shirin’s words:
Hello friends, I am Shirin a companion. I am very happy to celebrate the seventh year of my traveler’s liberation from addiction. Hossein was a very kind and lovely person. He always tried to convey love in the family and was very energetic. Despite having many problems, Hossein recommended me to value what I had. I am thankful to God for having Pouria, who is my friend and always accompanied us to solve the problems. I am also thankful to Mr. Dezhakam and Mrs. Ani (Mr. Dezhakam’s wife) who are people who are unique and I always tried to act upon the instructions I received from Mrs. Ani. I thank Mr. Torabkhani who attended our celebration.
