“The major change was the part of making parents the priority and that they have every right over us. I now tend to respect them even more. And are grateful for their upbringing. The other is through Revamp, I learnt not to judge others quickly and to always have good thoughts on anyone. Through that change alone, I have been able to live my daily life without negative thoughts. Firstly, the intention placing was one of the key lessons or value that the Mentor instilled into me during my initial sessions. Because without setting the proper intention, our deeds might be wasted or of no blessing. Secondly, it's our tongue. His sound advice to us on keeping check the vulgarities, unnecessary speech and hurtful words that we use so often in our daily vocabulary and that if we don't remove this dirty habit, it could very well the last word(s) we utter when the Angel of Death visits us. Thirdly, is the migration from bad company/habits. If a group of friends are preventing you from change, then we should take a step back and seek good company. Which he frequently mentions, "you are your friends’ religion". The importance of serving. Period.

Prior to this, I have never thought of serving others as a privilege; until Revamp totally "revamped" that thought. Through serving others, I have learnt valuable lessons like keeping the ego in check, making others happy and putting others before self. Most religious topics are through books and teachers. But serving others itself is an art alone that only can be attained by walking the talk and through experience. And I'm glad that through Revamp and Relite, I have managed to taste the sweetness of this art. The serving of others have impacted me the most. Because the sweetness of serving can only be attained through experience. From the nitty gritty details of washing guests’ hands, placement of the food and the order of serving drinks and food. E.g. elderly first etc. Relite made us to want to serve not for the sake of payment, but for the sake of Allah and his Messenger. We see all those who engage Relite not as a client but as a brother. And serving them has become a trust..”
