In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful
General efforts in letting the movement reach its destination
In the same way that you noticed that with the help of all the strata of the nation we attained this miraculous victory, it was with the help of all and devotion to the Origin that such a miracle was made possible; now that we are midway and need to make use of the available powers; we must not think that the subject has passed. Those that exploited this country have not shifted their greedy eyes from this place; they are planning to engage in subversion and to the extent that they are able to, they want to prevent the restoration of peace in this country; to prevent this country from governing itself and becoming self-sufficient; they wish to thwart such a thing from happening and thus they hatch these plots that you are seeing. They created Kurdistan in that manner and it is likely that it will happen in other places as well. And with regard to the fact that we are midway and are again going to face problems, we should all help. Helping does not mean that you who are delegated by the Red Lion and Sun Society «1» do some other work; it means that you perform well in what is assigned to you.
In non-Islamic and taghouti rule, your conscience was not too much inclined to obey them; even if you obeyed, it was an obedience that was imposed but now that it has been transformed and an Islamic and national government that is rooted in you has taken over, there is no such thing as an imposition any more; and it is not a system that is a system of injustice, tyranny, oppression, and such things. We must feel a sense of Islamic-conscientiou duty so that with that Islamic duty and with that humanitarian duty, we do a good job.
Service to the people
And I am happy that such a transformation has taken place among all the strata in Iran. Now, on this subject of the Jihad for Reconstruction, well, one sees that persons from everywhere that are also educated- especially women- have come to work. Just today in an interview that I heard, I saw the person says that they worked right from sunrise until sunset. This is a transformation that has taken place, meaning that everybody with enthusiasm and feeling that they should serve the people are busy working and this motivation is also certainly present in you, too. There is no doubt that now that there is no longer any compulsion or should I say, an imposition and such things, you yourselves are volunteers; and if there is a problem, you shall solve it yourselves. Therefore, that which is the source of happiness for us is that this Islamic transformation that was founded through the hand of God and no person was able to bring about such a transformation, especially the spiritual transformations whereby a group of young men came from America sometime before this and declared that they had come to serve under the Jihad for Reconstruction and go to the villages. I told them that well, I was aware that they did not possess the physical strength to harvest the crops with your hands or do masonry work or such things; but that they should know that their services are nevertheless valuable. When you come from America and go to such-and-such a village and the people see that a group of educated youth from America, some of whom are perhaps engineers and some are doctors, are doing the job of harvesting, this boosts their morale such that the peasant who would be able to harvest, for example, a single acre in a day will harvest two acres the following day; this requires strength. Do not think that your job is light; no, your job is extremely great from the spiritual aspect. When these landless peasants that had until now been troubled by the soldier or a gendarme and had only seen this or extortion by them are now seeing that a doctor, an engineer, or a student whether local, or from abroad, goes there to help them; they had not seen so far that a group of women who live in the provincial cities go there and harvest in their midst and together with them- they had not witnessed such a thing; they could not imagine such a thing; now that they are seeing the birth of such a spirit of humanity and this has been brought about under the shelter of Islam, and the superficial powers are not able to bring about such a transformation, such an Islamic and humanitarian transformation, this boosts their morale and makes them so happy such that it multiplies their strength and efficiency. Therefore, a humane and spiritual transformation has taken place that gives dignity to human beings; that boosts their confidence. And I hope that this is sustained and in the manner that they are now alive and vigorous, they remain so and with this vitality and with this sagacity, they cause this country to advance in a way that individuals find their own route so that the absence of individuals does not cause any disorder.
May God protect all of you; may He grant you happiness and success, and resolve all the problems. However, there are some problems in the government; at present there are many and they must be solved with the effort of all; and I hope that, God willing, they are solved.
