I Solemnly Pledge — Page 79
Jalsa Salana • 79 5 As I have said, non-Ahmadi guests or press representatives participate in our Jalsa and they often assess our behavior. Therefore, the moral standard of the workers in every department must be very high indeed. (July 21, 2017). 6 I say this to the supervisors in every department that if their conduct is gentle, their morals are good, they are patient and have the courage to tolerate unpleasant words, subsequently, their representatives and assistants will also demonstrate and manifest such conduct with the guests and will establish excellent examples of hospitality. However, if the supervisors have a harsh demeanor, have a rough tone, are unable to listen attentively and tolerate, their representatives and assistants will also demonstrate such conduct. Thus, in order to establish the highest standards of hospitality, the supervisors in every department should continuously assess themselves and endeavor to elevate their modesty and humbleness to the highest standard. (July 21, 2017). 7 Team leaders should endeavor to work with humility and lead by example by working as an ordinary volunteer. Signs of humility and gentleness should be apparent on their faces. Their tone should be soft and the highest moral standards should be displayed. They should always remember that hospitality is a very important department. (July 21, 2017). 8 Many a time I have said to make a “red book” and note down all the errors and weaknesses, and then try to eradicate them. This is how we can improve our system. It is the duty of the Officer Jalsa Salana to have a meeting with all the heads of departments at the end of the Jalsa. He should ask them to bring the weaknesses of their department and discuss these to find solutions so as not to have these in the future. Issues raised by the attendees must be accepted open heartedly and complaints should be removed, and then a proper planning for the future should be made. (September 9, 2016).
