After he finished his speech, one of the members told the other members to stand up. Another member said in a loud voice to sit down, I want to ask Huzoor a question. Some of the members sat down while some remained standing. Huzoor ra asked who he was. He said he was a member from Doug [Drigh?] Road. Then Hazrat S a hib ra said that this is the Khudd ā m Lecture Hall and there is no need of a question. I have said in my speech that you should think, so try and think of the answer. Then Hazrat S a hib ra asked the other members, “Why did some of you sit, when your officer in front of you gave you an order that should be obeyed. For example, if the enemy comes and says run , and some of you begin to run when you should be fighting the enemy, that would be very destructive. ” 4:00pm to 5:00pm – Individual interviews.
