President Christine Kangaloo, in her Eid-ul-Fitr message, says just as the discipline of Ramadan precedes the joy of Eid, we are called to understand that restraint and self-sacrifice are often the precursors of deep fulfilment and of true happiness.
The President said this is a call that applies to all of us. She said often, when we are called to higher duty and service, the human and understandable concern is for the disruption that such duty and service can cause to our personal lives.
President Kangaloo said Ramadan and Eid are an invitation to rise above the constraints of our minds and to embrace the joy and fulfilment that are to be realised in giving of ourselves to the service of that which is larger than we are.
