The Devotion of Life — Page 279
279 Exalted, however, in view of the responsibility of employing wisdom in making decisions, we believe they do not have the capability of fulfilling the responsibilities of Waqf. There are some who devoted their lives in a spurt of enthusiasm but in reality do not have the substance of sacrifice. We believe if they were faced with a difficulty they would slip and be sinful in the eyes of God. Then there are some who are not so well-educated, whereas we generally need educated people, although time and again the opportunity arises for uneducated people as well. However, for the moment the work of the ‘Tehrik-e-Jadid’ requires educated people. There are some who are still a bit young and go to Primary or Middle school while our requirement is that of graduates or ‘Maulvi Fazals’; so in this respect they cannot be of help to us for the moment. Leaving aside all these categories of people, we have a total of about one hundred and fifty people who can be of use to us. Of these, about a hundred have been appointed work, while the remaining will also be appointed soon. As we had collected plenty of names I had stopped making 'Tehrik' for Waqf. I thought by the time they would be given work our students would replace them. However, in view of all the people who have gone abroad and others who have been appointed to other jobs, I believe we will soon run out of people. This is the reason why I felt the need to present the 'Tehrik' of life devotion one more time before the Community. ”
