Be a wrestler, not a hero
[On Friday Babak and Mrs. Shahla Tawakkuli, wife of late Takhti, visited the Imam. It was noon and lunchtime. They had their lunch with the Imam. The lunch was bread and potatoes. After the lunch, Babak says to the Imam:
"I so far have attained three great honors (1) I am in the audience of the Imam of the nation (2) I am the son of Jahan Pahlavan (wrestler) Takhti (3) This revolution had been successful under the leadership of Imam."
After hearing the words of Babak, the Imam drew his hand over Babak's head and kissed him. The Imam answered him in only two to three words, which contain an ocean of meaning. This can be a lesson to all the wrestlers. Imam told Babak:]
"My son! Try to be always a wrestler but not a hero." «1»
