It may not seem so, but His Highness the Aga Khan was right in what he did, as a spiritual father, Imam and, Leader.
“You should not feel that, that dialogue is not something which I wish to encourage. Remember that authority has with its duty and the need to serve. There is no authority in My mind which is healthy if it is absolute and it does not take place within a philosophical and a social context. And, therefore, in your leadership to the Jamat (community) be considerate, be humble, be hard working and share with the Jamat their concerns and their needs” (Aga Khan IV)
